1996 Dodge Grand Caravan review from North America
"Very good, reliable, and performs well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only one problem ever; it shakes while driving uphill. Motor/transmission mounts need to be replaced.
Replaced the tranny thanks to my stupidness; never take your car to do a tranny flush; they hooked it up backwards and blew all the seals, causing a complete tranny failure on vacation.
General comments?
Pretty impressed overall; it's been the best car we ever had; reliable, dependable, and only left us stuck once, but that was my fault; see the tranny stuff.
