1996 Dodge Caravan Sport review from North America
"Looks good, but made from cheap parts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clear coat failed on candy-apple red; $1000 extra charge for this paint job, but it all peeled on the roof and hood. Dodge will not respond despite visits to dealers in 1968-68-70, etc. It began to peel in 1968 and now looks awful.
Replaced all door locks, steering wheel, front mirror fell off, oxygen sensors, side mirror broke, cd player jams, battery shorted, new clock spring. one horn dead again, etc.
The caravan is all plastic; good looking, but CHEAP parts and bad paint on the 96 Sport.
General comments?
Good looking.
