1998 Dodge Caravan Owner Comments

problem #2

Caravan Limited 2.8L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 119,000 miles

Bought 2nd hand from private owner. This miserable crook had put a patch on the bottom of the engine block to seal a hole in the block, (which held for about 100 miles). I ended up buying a replacement mtr from a junk dealer. Within a yr, the transmission had to be rebuilt for $900. Boy did I get screwed. One yr later, the dealer ripped me $500 for 2 eng censors. Talk about getting taken advantage of.
