1996 Dodge Grand Caravan SE review from North America
"It's a #*%# hunk of #!%#"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 70000 miles the the transmission went bad. 3000 dollars to fix.
At 100000 miles two of the cylinders blew up and the lifters also went bad in the same incident. another 2000 dollars to fix.
Then the transmission went bad again at 75000 miles, but luckily it was still under warranty from the last one.
General comments?
This hunk of crap handles like an ocean liner and is totally no fun to drive.
Horrible car to own, drive, and look at.
Never ever buy this car it is horrible.
