1992 Dodge Grand Caravan LE review from North America
"Beautiful, comfortable van, but too many problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission failed and was rebuilt at 90,000 miles.
Body Controller Module failed and replaced at 95,000 miles.
Starter replaced at 80,000 miles.
Water pump failed and was replaced.
Rear window exploded.
Rear wiper quit working.
Side door electric door lock intermittent.
Stereo/cassette unit had to be replaced.
Rear hatch prop rod broke.
General comments?
It is a very good looking mini-van. The LE package adds alloy wheels, dark tint windows, body side molding, overhead computer center, and leather seats.
The van has lots of power and the leather seats are very comfortable.
Lots of little, annoying things have gone wrong with this vehicle and several very expensive items have had to be replaced. (transmission and body controller module)
Resale value is very low, even if kept in top condition. I would have traded or sold it long before now if I could have got a reasonable price.
