1989 Dodge Grand Caravan LE review from North America
"Nice vehicle, but could have had a better life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power Steering pump needed to be replace three times (twice with used and once with a rebuilt. Then I discovered that it was the power steering rack was shot and had to be replaced. I had to replace the radiator soon after I got it due to leaks and it was completely rusted out. I am still heating up fast, especially during idling in construction zones or drive through. Could be the water pump) One of the wheel barrings had to be replaced. Parking break was and still is inoperable. Rear wiper quit working after the wiper arm rusted off.
General comments?
I love the room this one has. It handles good (after the steering problem was resolved). Even though I had a lot of problems I wouldn't give it up (unless it dies completely). This is the only car I liked to drive long distance in.
