1997 Dodge Grand Caravan review from North America
"Love the style and convenience, but it seems to be falling apart"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thump in the back with a full tank of gas.
Windshield wipers went on for no reason.
Air conditioning failed just after the 36,000 mile warranty.
Front end rattles like a covered wagon. Dealer cannot find the trouble.
General comments?
Dealer assured us that the gas tank thump would not cause a problem.
Wipers were fixed by the dealer.
Daimler Chrysler agreed to pay for 75% of the $900.00 AC repair after warranty.
Front end still rattles continually over small bumps in the road. It is not getting better & we feel that something will fall apart someday.
