1995 Dodge Grand Caravan review from North America
"A money sucking nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I only had the van a year and a half. It had various minor problems. ie water pump, brake booster, brake master cylinder. The major problem was my transmission went out. I paid $2100 dollars to fix it. The transmission went out again a month after my warranty from the transmission shop ran out. At the same time my front axle was bad. I finally gave up on this vehicle.
General comments?
The van is very pretty and comfortable. I'm writing this because this is obviously a family vehicle, but I don't want to see any family go through what we did.
Every month there would be a different problem. Some minor, some major.
