2000 Dodge Grand Caravan SE review from North America
"Good grocery getter and vacation machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much to report. Recently I noticed a couple of spots under the Engine area and discovered that a fitting on the Transmission cooler has a slow drip. I will be taking the Van in soon for it's first shop visit.
Serpentine belt starting squeaking recently, but it is supposed to be replaced at 60k anyway, no big deal I guess.
General comments?
I wish this Van had more power. The handling is OK, but could use some improvement. I'm getting set to install new front springs from a ES minivan. That will actually lower the Front about 3/4 of an inch. On the back I'm going to put a Helwig sway bar.
