1998 Dodge Caravan Grand LS review from North America
"The all-wheel drive model is safe vehicle that gets me through rough weather"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket had to be replaced at about 55,000 miles. This was covered under an extended warranty.
General comments?
In defense of my Grand Caravan All-Wheel Drive, I have only had one major repair which was, thankfully, covered under warranty.
I enjoy my Caravan especially in a New England snow storm.
My all-wheel drive has gotten me through blizzard conditions with sure footed ease. No fish-tailing here as with my previous rear-wheel drive car.
