"Waste of money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air Conditioning never worked.

Rear vent windows have always had problems opening and closing.

Transmission fluid leaks.

Engine oil leaks.

Coolant leaks.

Heater fan makes noises.

Environmental controls for where the air is directed no longer works.

Passenger side sliding door doesn't unlock using power lock controls.

Wears the outside of the passenger side tire after numerous front end alignments.

As of November 26, 2003, there is grinding and clunking noises coming from under the vehicle when put in gear. Car engine sounds fine when in park and the transmission shifts fine, but when stopped and in gear the car will try to stall.

General comments?

We thought that the car was a good deal when we first bought it, but as time went by more things started going wrong with it.

It has always had nice pick up and until recently ran nice, but the compounded problems make us regret ever buying it.

The economic service life of a Dodge Caravan is no more than 90,000 miles. You got it after it was shot and still managed to put some miles on it!

The second 100,000 miles is where all the money is!
