Air Conditioner compressor had to be replaced at at 48,000.
Master Cylinder replaced at 75,000.
Engine required all new lifters, done under extended warranty at 78,000.
At 78,000 miles vehicle also had Tie Rod End, Pitman Arm and Ball Joint replaced.
Interior vehicle trim is fragile and expensive to repair.
Total repair costs of this vehicle have been approximately $3800.00 over a 30 month period - consider this truck has been babied.
Truck has exceptional handling at highway speeds and is super comfortable on long trips.
As one would expect, economy is very poor at around 14mpg.
Its 7 years old dude- it needs maintenance.
Mine hasn't had any of those problems, 97k and running strong. Once I had a squeaky belt, but that's it.
Mine has 150k and other than tune-ups I have only replaced:
The battery...$68
Motor starter...$80
Idle air controller..$70.
Now compare it to my Dodge Caravan previously owned.
At 128k I had to fix or repair the van in the following sequence:
By 40k: factory radio and rear wiper motor went out
60k: Air Conditioning system
70k: cam-shaft and valve covers oil seals
75k: water pump, timing chain and crank-shaft seal
80k: left front axle
90k the infamous transmission!!!
95k motor mounts
100k passenger side axle
120k again the water pump and tensioner
128k again the transmission!!! (got rid of it)
This was my first Dodge vehicle and I swear, it will be the last one.
