1996 Dodge Caravan review from North America
"Could have found worse."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power Steering constantly goes out.
Guzzles down gas like theres no tomorrow.
Windshield wipers do not work properly in delay setting.
Tires seem to bald faster than usual.
General comments?
For 109,000+ miles on my van, and no transmission problems (yet), unlike most other caravan owners, I believe I have gotten my fair share of moneys worth from my van.
I am not to happy about the space in the van, for it is not as roomy as they advertise, but when you have a family of four, and the only other vehicle is a small standard 4 cylander pickup truck that barely seats two, I can't complain so far.
