2000 Dodge Grand Caravan SE review from North America
"A potential death trap when driven in the rain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The serpentine belt has come off three times in the last 5 months.
Have replaced the tensioner 3 times in the last 5 months.
I had to replace the lock on the steering column.
General comments?
This vehicle is a death trap. When driving in the rain, the serpentine belt will come off the pulley, leaving you with no steering. I have had the belt and tensioner replaced 3 times in 5 months, always by a Chrysler dealer and can't get them to admit they have a problem.
