Overview & Reviews
Dodge brings out the Caravan eC, a value leader that lists for just $17,000. Power adjustable pedals debut as well.
- Surprisingly agile handling, quiet ride (with V6), low price.
- Some cheap interior bits, limited features and options, questionable reliability.

Caravan average at best - 2002 Dodge Caravan
By Brautman - July 23 - 3:23 amWe purchased an extended Dodge Caravan Sport and we enjoyed it in the test drive, but after we took it home it had some faults. We noticed the sound of an air leak from the windshield area that whistled particularly at highway speeds. The interior quality is quite poor as our passenger side sliding door panel fell off. The seats are comfortable and all rows are roomy. Performance isnt great with the 3.3L V6, but hey its a minivan.

Shiney Lemons - 2002 Dodge Caravan
By Lindsay Hoffman - November 19 - 2:00 amWe bought this van because we needed reliable transportation to take our kids to the doctor. Its been in the shop at least 6 times for warranty repairs (ac leaking, ac fan broke, rotors needed turning, catalytic converter, muffler, lower control arms, Im sure Im forgetting something). Some of the stuff is finally fixed after several returns and some of it is not fixed yet after several returns. Weve never been given a rental even though theyve had it over night, so I am forced to bum a ride from a friend or sit in the dealership for hours with two children.

I wouldnt buy it again - 2002 Dodge Caravan
By Coloradoan - June 12 - 2:00 amIve had the van for 7 months now, have had it in the shop 3 times. I need to take it back again for the airbag light coming on this will be the second time for this problem). Everything from the throttle position sensor, airbag light coming on, to the check engine light coming on and the van dying out when warming it up. Had the brakes lock up a couple of times when stopping normally too. I would avoid this vehicle. My neighbor had some of the same problems with the Dodge Dakota pickup truck too, so it seems to run in the Dodge family.

sorry i bought it - 2002 Dodge Caravan
By Unhappy - April 30 - 2:00 amI should have bought the Honda Odyssey. I tried to save money, boy what a mistake! The transmition is not right, but they cant figure it out. I think they are good with their offers but you get what you pay for. Maybe I should have leased it...so I could dump it.

Decent, but unreliable - 2002 Dodge Caravan
By Familyman - March 6 - 1:25 pmWe purchased this car to provide room for our growing family. It was a good price and offered decent features. However, in one year, the car was in the shop three different times to fix problems with sensors and the transmission. It is unreliable and beware the time when your warranty runs out. Im afraid we will have to dig into our pockets too much before it is paid off. My suggestion, find a minivan that has proven reliability.
