1996 Dodge Grand Caravan SE review from North America
"Scrumtrulecent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
To begin, about a year after the purches it was backed up on by a ry--der truck. Surpringley with the front end totaly smashed and it wouldn't run. after that at about 120000 on a trip to boston, we started hearing this wining noise and the car felt like it was hydroplaneing on the road (it was wet drive) after a hour layover in some towns dodge dealer in Pensylvania it was the air comp. about 127000 the tranmision would go into neutral and jerk your headback when you depresed the gas after it was in neutral, added more trany fluid, problem gone!
General comments?
The best thing my mom has bought. I can sleep in the back, stretch my feet out and sleep all the way boston.
