1996 Dodge Caravan review from North America
"A $15,000 lemon.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlights came on once by themselves, had to disconnect the battery for a day. Radio wouldn't turn off another time. Small fire in the headlight switch.
Airbag light is stuck on.
Passenger side sliding door lock doesn't work.
Electrical problems are causing me to have to get rid of it.
Been in the shop twice and they can't find anything wrong with it.
Just driving down the road and it dies. 15 minutes or a day later it will start again. I can no longer drive it anywhere because I don't know where or when it will die on me again.
General comments?
Will never, ever, buy another Chrysler product as long as I live...
