1999 Dodge Caravan SE review from North America
"Head Gasket-Not a good buy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater has a dusty dirty smell when it is turned on. Brakes went at 80,000 km. Head gasket cracked at 95000 km.
General comments?
Generally the caravan is a nice family van. However, having a major malfunction like the head gasket blowing is very discouraging. I will never purchase another dodge again. The customer service @ Daimler-Chrysler was orchestrated/Scripted and provided no feelings of reassurance.
