1996 Dodge Caravan SE Sport from North America - Comments

Gas gauge went within 30 days of having the vehicle. Replaced and is still not working correctly.

Air Conditioning dead. This has happened on several Dodge vehicles, should actually be a recall.

Wipers occasionally start and stop by themselves.

Built in child seats are horrible. Almost choked my child.

Oil leak, may be head gasket.

Starter went.

This has been nothing but problems since we've owned it. Wanted to get rid of it earlier, but sank too much money into it so decided to keep it for a while.

I have a 1996 Dodge Caravan, bought new. Have the same problems you mentioned. Wipers come on for no reason, gas gauge jumps around, doesn't want to go sometimes, transmission went out at 60,000 miles, etc...

We also have a 1996 Dodge Caravan 3.3 automatic which we purchased in Jan of 2002 used. This van has been nothing but a nightmare since day one!! We have just about replaced everything imaginable since we purchased this van 10 months ago. We paid 4,000.00 and so far have another 4,000.00 invested into its problems. Everyone tells us its the green color, well I don't think so!! Upon finding out about the clock spring recall I immediately phoned Chrylser and they said I had to wait to get a letter from them. I explained that I already replaced the part and have a receipt and just want my money back and she said to wait for the letter. Yeah right!!! We have had to replace the power steering pump, water pump, head gaskets, oil problems, oxygen sensors, just to name a few things! The engine still smokes, the front end clings and clangs at every bump! I will invest not another cent into this van, next time it goes off the nearest cliff!

I have a 2002 dodge carvan that has given me so much trouble I just gave up. theproblem started with the door not being alined which cause an air leak and wind noise.

Then I took it in for repairs to the air condition system.

It eat gas so bad that if you used the air to travel ten mile on a half tank of you"ll run out. i had to replace brakes twice within 30,000 miles. something sound like it ticking come from the engine, and I also here noised from the wheel like awinding noise plus so much more I just gave up on it it too hard to keep up with.
