2001 Dodge Caravan Sport review from North America
"It's a piece of junk!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window motor at 3000 miles.
Battery at 3000 miles.
Air compressor at 4000 miles.
2 window motors at 8000 miles.
2 window motors at 9000 miles.
Vacuum leak at 10000.
Oil leak at 10000 miles.
Oil leak fixed again at 12000 miles.
Transmission replacement at 53000.
Transmission replacement AGAIN at 64000.
And the brakes are awful! They get changed about every 10000 miles.
General comments?
This is the worst car I have ever owned!
I have had repeat problems with window motors and am on my 3rd. transmission!
I would never own one of these again... I was given a oral quote on the phone for the last transmission replacement... when I picked up my van the prices was suddenly $300 higher!! Then they had the nerve to tell me I mis-understood them... BULL CRAP!
I have now taken the advise of a pro and decided to write Chrysler with my complaints and attach all service invoices to them... as they told me "don't mess with the middle man" TAKE IT TO THE TOP!!
