1997 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport review from North America
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Oxygen sensor problem
2. Water pump
3. Serious Safety Issue: The single belt that supplies power to Power Steering, A/C and Water pump slipped off the pulley while on the highway. The engine temperature started climbing upward, but I could not steer it off the road since steering had no power.
General comments?
1. The van, however comfortable, cannot relied upon. As a result of the safety issue cited above, the vehicle is unworthy of the road.
