1995 Dodge Caravan Base review from North America
"Great performing van, plan to spend money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where can I start?
The transmission went at 52,000 miles, and then the top part of the engine at 58,000.
The valve guides were worn at 76,000, thus burns oil.
The A/C compressor went out at 90,600.
This van also stalls for no reason, this is really bad when driving long distances. I was taking it to Florida and it stalled about 15 times in a row trying to leave Subway. It has been in the garage since new and the paint looks terrible.
General comments?
I love my van. It is great for trips, not to mention you can haul almost everything and tow with it. This van gets excellent fuel economy and is the best performing van I have driven.
Controls are easy to operate and it has good stereo. If you are going to buy one, the V6 is worth every penny.
