2004 Dodge Caravan Short Base review from North America
"In 2004 the most inexpensive minivan with standard DVD"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tires were not great, at 300KM one front tire blew out. Around 20,000KM all tires showed signs of bulging.
EGR valve went at around 40,000KM, however replaced under warranty.
General comments?
Surprisingly at 60,000KM I have not had many problems... yet! Full warranty up to 60,000, with $100 deductable up to $115,000.
Good handling, and good heating on cold winter days - my old Pontiac Transport was very cold in winter.
Bad ride quality, I found it very bumpy and not smooth on roads and highway. I would not recommend due to the poor ride quality.
