Air Conditioning never worked.
Rear vent windows have always had problems opening and closing.
Transmission fluid leaks.
Engine oil leaks.
Coolant leaks.
Heater fan makes noises.
Environmental controls for where the air is directed no longer works.
Passenger side sliding door doesn't unlock using power lock controls.
Wears the outside of the passenger side tire after numerous front end alignments.
As of November 26, 2003, there is grinding and clunking noises coming from under the vehicle when put in gear. Car engine sounds fine when in park and the transmission shifts fine, but when stopped and in gear the car will try to stall.
We thought that the car was a good deal when we first bought it, but as time went by more things started going wrong with it.
It has always had nice pick up and until recently ran nice, but the compounded problems make us regret ever buying it.
The economic service life of a Dodge Caravan is no more than 90,000 miles. You got it after it was shot and still managed to put some miles on it!
The second 100,000 miles is where all the money is!
I have a Dodge Caravan with 200,000 km on it. That is 124000 miles. I had to put a new transmission in about a year ago and the AC is shot, but it still work fine and is certainly cheaper to maintain then new car payment plus maintenance. Where do you get this 90,000 mile economic life figure from?
I hope to run it for three more years. My mortgage will be paid in two and that will give me a year to save what I use to put in my mortgage for another car.
