1996 Dodge Caravan LE review from North America
"Big pay out."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On top of all the recalls.
The door locks were not working on the sliding doors. Had to replace them.
Brakes constantly replacing.
Had the brake line replaced.
Tiers every half year on the front are replaced.
Shocks and struts replaced.
Starter was replaced twice.
Now the transmission needs to be done.
General comments?
This van has cost us so much money and still paying on it for 1 more year.
Every time we think it is doing good
we have a surprise.
We have a Nissan Stanza with 208,000
miles on it, bought out of the show room. In 1988, all we have done is brakes twice and now it is starting to rust a little. This poor car has not been up kept and has been every were.
The van is an ungodly cost and the garage has it more than we do.
When it is working it is a nice ride, I want more than that, Safety First.
