Grand Caravan EX 3.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 93,000 miles

The exhaust valve was stuck open. It started running rough (understatement) so I drove it to the shop. They told me that it was already too late for the engine and that nothing could have been done to prevent this (it was a fluke occurrence). I can't believe that it never even reached 100,000! Never will I buy a dodge again...

Grand Caravan

  • 50,000 miles

We have had problem after problem with this van, everything from brake rotors rusting at 15,000 miles. That was not covered under warranty. Umm the windows constantly get stuck.. also not under warranty, I paid 800+ for an extra warranty on my vehicle that doesn't seem to cover anything?? They have had my van for 3 weeks now. We call them and they say oh the part is not in yet. The guy even told my husband we are backed on on engine repairs... gee imagine that? I have had 3 recalls in 3 years. Only one of the built in car seats actually work it has been trouble after trouble since the 1st month of ownership of this damn thing. Engines should not blow up with routine maintenance done on them after 50,000 THANK GOD we did buy the extra warranty or else I would have been screwed!!! I own a 1996 chevy cav that has had 1 problem in the 9 yrs that I have owned it. DO NOT BUY DODGE!!!! THEY SUCK!
