2001 Dodge Grand Caravan SE review from North America
"Versatile, comfortable, reliable transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The end links and sway bar bushing needed replacement at 100,000 miles.
When it gets above 95 degrees, the speedometer doesn't work.
General comments?
The 2001 is very slow as compared to our 94.You really have to step on it to pass or get on the highway.
It is very comfortable. I drive a Porsche and sometimes I just like to have a easy, comfortable ride, so I take the Dodge.
It's very sure footed in slippery weather.
The cabin is roomy and I love the dual sliding doors.
It's nice looking and the fit and finish are decent.
The transmission has been fine. However, I always change transmission fluid at 100,000 miles. I think that is critical.
Overall, we are very happy with Grand Caravans and plan on getting more.
