2003 Dodge Grand Caravan SE review from North America
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have replaced front brake pads twice.
Have replaced fuel filter, probably erroneously (see comments below).
Fuel gauge does not work properly.
Front end makes noise like something is loose, but mechanic cannot find anything wrong.
General comments?
Very disappointed with this vehicle. Bought it after having bad experience with my Ford Windstar. Goes through front brakes quickly. Fuel gauge does not work properly after tank is below half. Have run out of gas 4 times. Had the fuel filter replaced once, because we thought it was the reason it left us stranded. Looking back, it was probably just out of gas, and we didn't realize it because the gas gauge showed over a quarter of a tank. One morning at church, the fuel filter blew out of the top of the tank, and gas was pouring every where. Cannot pump gas into tank sometimes. Gas pump keeps kicking off because the tank acts like it's full. We know it's low on gas, but we can't put gas in it! Had the dealer look into this, twice now, and they cannot find anything wrong. They blame it on the Gas Station where we buy our gas. Unfortunately, it does this at different stations too. I regret buying this vehicle, and would not recommend it to anyone. Would like to know of similar problems with other Caravan owners.
