1997 Dodge Grand Caravan SE review from North America
"OK VAN"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is falling apart.
Air doesn't work. engine fans don't come on.
The double sliding doors don't open (have to pull lever from under door panel).
Lift gate opens when it wants to and doesn't lock.
Front floor boards get soaked when it rains.
Overheats all the time (due to fans not working).
General comments?
This van is a tank!
Its reliable and always starts.
The looks of the van are good.
Dodge did good, but to cheaply made.
