2000 Dodge Grand Caravan review from North America
"A real lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Our problems with this van seem to be endless. The windshield wipers don't work half of the time, they either stop half way between swipes, or they just don't work at all. They have replaced the motor on this twice.
The key gets stuck in the ignition, and we are unable to put it in park. So far they have repacked the barrings on this twice. The first time they "fixed" it, it happened again in the dealers lot.
The interior lights go out from time to time, they asked me if I know how to turn them on and off correctly.
The entire van makes horrible squeaking noises as if the van had no shocks. This happens more often when the weather is cold.
General comments?
This van is a big disappointment. I have never paid this much for a vehicle and it sickens me to know that I will only have more problems in the future.
