2002 Dodge Grand Caravan ES review from North America
"Satisified customer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The wiper controls on the blinker stalk are just stupid.
The suspension seems a little weak. I upgraded the rear shocks to the spring assisted version for trailer towing.
The lower ball joints are getting a little loud.
General comments?
This is my first new car, and first American car in 12 years.
Best vehicle I have ever owned! It has always been clean and well maintained. Has not been abused/ damaged or serviced by a moron.
Nothing out of the ordinary has failed except for the alternator bearings, and driver side window regulator.
I have the Canadian model. It came standard with a LARGE transmission fluid cooler the size of the radiator. I use the van to tow an RV, and a utility trailer regularly.
All the problems I have read on this site are alien to me, and I felt like it needed a truthful positive review. My vehicle has 108,000.
