1998 Dodge Grand Caravan SE review from North America

Gasket leaking, replaced gasket at the dealership

Have been recalled 4 times

Ripped off at the dealership.

Will never go to the dealership again

Ripped off, spent $30k and this car aint worth even half of that at the time I bought it.

Replaced steering pump.

Replaced Master Cylinder.

Brakes, Shoes replaced 3 times.

Calipers replaced 2.

Front rotors replaced 3 times.

Parking brake does'nt work.

Car has abnormal electrical problems (unexplainable at first) but I figured it out. The battery connectors were'nt conducting electricity, needed to be sanded and worked fine. Needed to A/C dash three times.

Muffler leakage, needed to replace muffler.

Added a K&N filter for better performance and fuel mileage (takes up more gas than my 5.7 L GMC truck)

Had to change front shocks, making weird ass noise.

Changed tie rod ends, balancing needed right after.

Changed 3 spark plugs, could'nt change the rear, manifold headers blocking access plus no room and engine is under firewall. (who thought up this fukin design)

Front left and right speakers apparently blown, but working.

Handling: feels like its going to flip over at times.

ABS almost killed me a couple times, stupid krap is tooooo sensitive.

Reccurent performance problems, one time feels normal other time feels abnormal.

Brake Pedal making clicking noises, not braking well enough even though whole new brake system was changed and after, problem still exists.

Most of the repairs I did myself. That saved me a lot of money. The dealership is a rip off and the price of the vehicle is insane.

Get a japanese vehicle people, don't buy any american vehicles ever. The only good american vehicle I've seen is Chevrolet pick-ups, only minor problems since 1988, almost 20 years old and still running like new (thank you god!)

My message to you is: dodge the Dodge and the rest of the american krap. Don't give me that american patriotic garbage, YOU WASTE MONEY PEOPLE, don't waste it because you want to support the economy. The economy is inevitable, JAPANESE is the answer.
