1991 Dodge Caravan from North America - Comments

The gauges do not work. The fuses are fine. The wipers come on their self.

I bought my Grand Caravan a year old with 40,000 km on it.

Tranny went on it at 60,000 km, replaced on warranty.

It went again with 110,000, but the warranty was over on time. It had a 7 year 120,000 km; most vehicles at the time had a 60,000 5 year warranty.

The tranny I repaired outside the dealership for $1,200. It has been great since the Caravan has over 300,000 now.

The 3.3 liter is a great engine with no problems.

Water pump twice.. simple fix. A few complete exhausts and some brake jobs up to this year.

It is starting to give me trouble now, mostly winter and salt related, and I will part with it. It has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. Practically trouble free for 18 years, couldn't ask for much better.

Honda and Toyota vans are no better then the American vans, I would say worse - and much more expensive. Ask a mechanic, they will tell you just how much trouble they are having on these import vans.

I'm a mechanic. And I PERSONALLY haven't seen many repairs on import vans. But that doesn't mean that they aren't. Just a random fact though, Honda completely based their first minivan on the Dodge Caravan. Dodge even lent them the design plans. It was almost a rebadged vehicle even, the only real differences were a Honda engine and tranny. Everything else was pretty much a Caravan.
