1996 Dodge Grand Caravan review from North America
"I wish Dodge/Chrysler made reliable vehicles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The windshield wipers stopped working for a while, now the only work at one speed and stop exactly when you turn them off instead of returning to low position. A/C stopped working, had freon replaced twice before being finding out the condenser is shot. At least it is not the transmission, like our previous Caravan (which cost us $2000 to fix).
General comments?
This van is very comfortable for long trips, very convenient for family activities (soccer, dragging my high school water polo team around, taking out of town family around to see the sights, etc.)
