I had a 1990 Dodge Caravan that was one of the best vehicles I ever owned. It was like the Eveready Rabbit. It just kept going and going and going. I couldn't kill it. I put 180K miles on it. I sold it and for two years after that it went flying by me on the interstate on my way to work. It had a V6 engine. I think that was the difference. I heard a lot about problems with others and I think is was because the 4 cyl. was underpowered and just couldn't handle the pressure. I also heard that even with a front wheel drive they had trouble in snow. Mine would go through anything with just all season tires. I loved that van and still miss it. She made a lot of Vermont to WDW road trips.
Yep, we’ve both posted about our Chrysler product experiences many times over the years.
It’s great that yours were good experiences, but, both of ours just sucked.
Once they got to a certain low-to-mid mileage point, both the ‘90 Jeep Cherokee Laredo and the ‘01 Dodge Grand Caravan began to have minor to major problems, and in the end, turned out to be just plain garbage for us.
By the time we dumped them, both had leaking front and rear main seals, broken drivers bucket seats, trim issues, etc., etc., etc.
Both had 6-cylinder engines…the Cherokee a straight 6, the Caravan a V-6 (after all, it was a “Grand” Caravan…!!!!!
)
Both were Carolyn’s main transportation, and she has driven like a church lady since the day I met her…except for braking…as I’ve posted before, she’s always been particularly hard on brakes…!!!!!
Simply, we’ll never buy another Chrysler product again.
