1993 Dodge Grand Caravan ES review from North America

"The 1993 Grand Caravan is beautiful and comfortable, but requires so much maintenance!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Brakes was the first thing we had repaired/ replaced.

The fuel pump was replaced twice, on second time, we had to replace the fuel tank too ($610).

A/C has been maintained 2 times.

ABS brakes recall service twice in 1997 and 8/2004, plus accumulative ball ($224). Troubleshoot the "no power" on ABS Brakes and replaced fuse ($250).

9/2004 - water pump leak, replace with lifetime warranty $26.

Serpentine belt, idler pulley, tensioner belt replaced 8/2004 ($220).

Battery replaced several times (at least 4 times).

Transmission rebuilt on 9/2001 ($1289)

Brake pads and seals replaced several times.

Front strut replaced ($290) now has lifetime warranty.

We have done $4900 in repairs since we owned it in 8/2000.

General comments?

Purchased vehicle for $7300 in 2000 mileage 70,000.

Paint is still very good, carpet, power seats, lights, and sound system are all excellent. It's a great looking vehicle. I just wish it ran as good as it looks. It wasn't always this bad. When we first bought, it actually ran very smooth and had no problems with it, very comfortable, we were so proud of it. After a 900-mile vacation, we had to replace the brakes. The vehicle had to sit in the carport because we had other vehicles to use 12/2000 thru 8/2004). When we tried to get it started again, we had all sort of things to replace. Chrysler the dealership and the corporate 800 number is no help. Seems like we have more problems with it when it after picking it up form the Dealer's Service Center.
