Tires were not great, at 300KM one front tire blew out. Around 20,000KM all tires showed signs of bulging.
EGR valve went at around 40,000KM, however replaced under warranty.
Surprisingly at 60,000KM I have not had many problems... yet! Full warranty up to 60,000, with $100 deductable up to $115,000.
Good handling, and good heating on cold winter days - my old Pontiac Transport was very cold in winter.
Bad ride quality, I found it very bumpy and not smooth on roads and highway. I would not recommend due to the poor ride quality.
I agree with the ride. Rented one of these for the weekend and wished I hadn't. Didn't hold the cruise control and drifted out of the curves so it was very challenging to drive. Seat hurt my back - no support where needed.
Update to my first post. So far so good, my 2004 caravan is at 90,000KM's. Repairs include changing the rotors and new tires.
I still find the rid a bit bumpy compared to my old Pontiac Transport, but that minivan was full of problems.
Sound like your Caravan is just now getting broken in well. Two of our friends have each had 2 Caravans in the past 20 years. All 4 of them got well over 200,000 miles with hardly a problem. These things must be pretty well built.
April 2008 - Purchased a used (but immaculate) 2004 Anniversary Edition SE, 3.3L, with stow/go seats, 16-inch alloy mags, and 69,000KM. Comes with OEM Power Train warranty valid till March 2011!!!
Received a great deal for it, so had to purchase this 7-seater for transporting children.
So far so good. I've slotted in Mobil-1 Synthetic 5-30 due to exterme cold weather starts, and will plan for a atf pan drop/atf filter change at 75,000km.
The car has ample horse power, and consumes a reasonable amount of gasoline. I hear the Hondas/Toyotas have had automatic transmission problems over the years, whereas Daimler/Chrysler have virtually fixed the problems early on with their Caravan transmissions.
Ill report back peridoically on the status of the Caravan.
