2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT review from North America
"The power train sucks and it's a North American piece of you-know-what.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission is apart on dealership bench as I write this. Symptoms included jerkiness from take off, clunking when foot lifted off gas pedal. Both front air bag sensors have failed. Headlights turn off intermittently for some reason. Radio was also replaced once because it would turn off on it's own.
Not all has been covered under MFG warranty because of mileage (3 yr / 60K) complete warranty and 5 / 100 power train.
My next vehicle will NOT BE A DODGE! I owned a Honda Civic that I beat the "#&^$" out of and it never gave me problems like this. And this is a $38000 CD vehicle!!!
General comments?
Don't buy one...
