Dodge Grand Caravan sucks.
I liked the drive, drove it around Canada and the South as a rental vehicle and thought I should get this moderated priced vehicle. Wrong decision!
People I know think it is crap and tell me so.
The temp cutout on the radiator fan cocked out at 15K miles, dealer repaired it - dangerous situation on a highway.
At 25K miles, brakes grated, changed both brakes and rotors.
At 26K miles, had to add steering fluid, noise from front.
I know I will never make the mistake of buying a Dodge again.

I've had a whining noise (especially while the engine is cold) for about 4 months. It is getting worse. Yesterday I took it to the mechanic. He said it was the Steering Pump and I approved the repair for $400+. This morning I research the problem and see that people that have that repair still have the noise afterwards. I dig some more and find that replacing the filter is what is needed, a much cheaper repair. This means replacing the reservoir. I hope this helps others get the proper repair before they blow the money that I did!
