1992 Dodge Grand Caravan ES review from North America
"Loved everything about it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission eventually started to act up. The van drove well in reverse, but made extremely grating sounds when it was put in drive.
The radiator overheated due to a crack in the fluid tank.
The speedometer stopped working. Was easily fixed.
The radio eventually worked off and on.
Condensation got into the headlights and blew the bulb.
Back trunk hatch hydraulics broke.
Have had people trip over the middle row seatbelts when they try to get out of the van from the back row.
Back windshield wipers burnt out.
Fuel gauge stopped working. Was easily fixed.
General comments?
Excellent vehicle. My parents bought this car brand new, and eventually it became my primary driving vehicle. Very sturdy and reliable for a teenager to drive.
Very spacious and easy to see out of... didn't have as many blind spots as other cars do. Very comfortable seats. The shape of the front windshield also seemed to help keep the car cooler.
Very attractive car... ours was baby blue, and after 18 years the only body damage was a medium rust spot on the roof of the car. It was stolen from us... apparently it must be a nice looking car!
Turning radius is probably half of that of a normal vehicle, but you learn to handle it.
We definitely got our money's worth out of it. Very sad to see it go when my parents decided to give it away.
