1994 Dodge Caravan SE review from North America
"Bad Transmission"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic locks broke. The electrical system would go off and on by itself making the locks go up and down when no one was pushing the buttons.
The original tires did not last long and had to be replaced.
I had other engine problems that I can't remember at this time, but luckily, I had a friend who worked on the constant problems I had.
I had a terrible time with the transmission. It was bad. No one from the company or dealer would help. They did not want to admit that there was a problem with the transmissions although I had found others who had the same problem. I had to replace it, and it was very costly.
Most of the plastic interior started to crack and break as the car got older. The interior started falling apart a piece at a time.
General comments?
I purchased two Chrysler/Dodge vehicles in my life because a relative worked for them. I had terrible problems with both vehicles and will never buy one again.
I now have my second Ford, and I have never had any problems and will stick with them.
