1996 Dodge Caravan SE Sport review from North America
"Significant problems since we've owned it. Would not recommend this year of Dodge Caravan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas gauge went within 30 days of having the vehicle. Replaced and is still not working correctly.
Air Conditioning dead. This has happened on several Dodge vehicles, should actually be a recall.
Wipers occasionally start and stop by themselves.
Built in child seats are horrible. Almost choked my child.
Oil leak, may be head gasket.
Starter went.
General comments?
This has been nothing but problems since we've owned it. Wanted to get rid of it earlier, but sank too much money into it so decided to keep it for a while.
