1994 Dodge Caravan review from North America

In the last couple of years the engine has begun randomly dying when coming to a stop or slowing down to make a turn. It doesn't do this all the time, although it seems to happen more in hot or cold weather. We have done close to $1,000 in tune ups and repairs, but the problem still exists. We changed the spark plugs and wires, the EGR valve, the fuel filter, flushed the fuel system and I don't remember what else.

The A/C went out shortly after we purchased the van. We need a new compressor to fix the problem, but we decided not to get it fixed.

We purchased the van for $4000 and have driven it for five years and 45,000 miles. Excluding the problems already mentioned it has been extremely reliable. We have driven around town and across the United States with absolutely no problems. The engine power is surprisingly powerful.

We don't like to spend money on cars so features like power windows, sound system and a more than adequate comfort level are not a big deal to us as they might be to other people. To be honest, I've always thought the van is kind of ugly, but it gets us from point A to point B.

On the whole it has been great, although we are trading it in since we haven't been able to get the stalling problem fixed.
