1996 Dodge Caravan SE review from North America
"Problem car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the van in 1995, started the recalls in 1996.
Electrical problems throughout the van.
Electric driver side window fell out of its socket.
Interior lights blink.
Water pump replaced.
A/C is not working, front and rear.
At 80,000 the transmission was rebuilt for 2,065 dollars.
General comments?
We bought this van for our growing family.
We have had problems from the time I departed the dealership.
The three year 36,000 mile warranty is not working for this type of problem vehicle.
You will need an extended warranty if you plan on a Caravan purchase.
I will never, never, never buy another Caravan.
