1996 Dodge Grand Caravan LE review from North America
"The Van is extremely expensive to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check Engine light came on days after we purchased went in 4 different times to dealer
sticky lifters at 60000, had major engine work done
Radiator blew up at 68000
Drivers side power window broke 65000
Back windows stopped working at 65000
Transmission died 70000
Air conditioning and back windshield wiper buttons stopped working.
General comments?
Dealer would not repair in a timely manner. The van has been very costly, the only thing going for it is the space that it has.
