1996 Dodge Caravan LE review from North America
"The Dodge Caravan is like a beautiful lady with a bad attitude!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the van 2 weeks and so far I have had to buy a new starter, clock spring, and just today 3rd gear went out in the transmission that was rebuilt in January! The transmission shop says they can look at it in 2 weeks. By then all the gears will be out!
General comments?
For a 96 I don't expect a brand new running car. However I did expect it to get me to work and back every day. I cannot believe the Chrysler Corp. is getting away with this! I only wish I had found this site 3 weeks ago. I sure would not be owning a Dodge Caravan! I have contacted CC and they beat around the bush about the problems being cause by drivers, etc. The bottom line is, they already have the $20,000 out of the vehicle YOU are driving. So why should they care what happens? Well, next year might not go so well for CC and Dodge if they keep up the poor service!
