"You've been warned"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Water pump pulley alignment

transmission replacement

rear window tint is bubbling

speed sensor failed.

General comments?

After owning my first minivan for a short time I have been slammed with a $3000 rebuilt tranny bill because dodge builds crap parts.

The only reason I bought the grand caravan is because with out a truck it can handle a 4x8 sheet of anything.

Lots and lots of room inside, but after my tranny went I found on the net and most every one I talked too that its not only common problem, but you have a better chance of winning the lottery then not having your tranny go for a crap.

Rebuilt trannys are pricey because there hard to find because everyone needs one.

Gas mileage is OK every thing else is just OK not real special about it.

You will have just as much problem with the 3 speed as you will with a 4 speed.

136K on my 3 speed transmission... Not a problem.

Seems to me most of the problems belong to the 4 speed.
