YA know,it's a real freakin pain in the ass,when you only have one vehicle and it's constantly having to get fixed.This problem kept happening to me and i figured oh,it will snap out of it,it;s probably just old.Well all of a sudden all the gauges quit working.So now i never know my speed,how much gas i have,or even the temp,ohhhhhhhhh,this make me so mad,i just got my van out of the shop,about a month ago and it was in there for a couple of months getting repairs and body work,now this what's next?I know how to handle the problem,so i have decided to sell it!

I got a 96 Dodge Caravan from my in-laws. I loved it at first, but then things started going wrong. First, the AC quit working, then the electrical on the dash shorted out. This leaves me with no headlights and I have no idea how fast I am going. Then the transmission started leaking fluid, i mean a lot of fluid. I put a quart or two in every other week. Any ideas?
