1997 Chrysler Grand Caravan review from North America
"Major electrical headache"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes had to be replaced twice. No warning of problems.
Wipers pop on intermittently for no reason.
AC failed.
Electrical problem: locks on/off; lights on/off; cassette player on/off.
Stalls while driving.
General comments?
This van was good (except for the brakes and AC) for the first five years. Now I am thinking of replacing it as no one can find the electrical problem. I have been to four different garages/dealers and none can locate the problem.
