1996 Dodge Grand Caravan LE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What hasn't gone wrong with this van? I've been through two oxygen sensors, a set of front brakes (warped rotors at 30K?), a water pump, a failed door locking mechanism, numerous sqeaks and rattles, a broken emergency brake release and probably several other things I've forgotten to mention.
General comments?
It's a shame these Chrysler Vans are built so poorly, because it's a very comfortable, great riding family hauler when it's not in the shop. The execution is not up to the nice engineering. Buy the new Honda if you are in the market for a minivan!
