    I have had no real problems with this van. I had rack and pinion changed when I first got it, still under warranty, so there was $0 cost. Other than having to replace egr at about 45,000, which seems pretty common I have not had any other expenses out of the normal maintenance. Love the power options on my van and will still continue to buy Caravans into the future! As a matter of fact this is my 4th, 93, 95, 97 all sold with 160,000 miles plus .

  • Got lucky I guess - so far - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
    By -

    Bought this one new after owning an 01 Honda Odyssey that demolished 3 transmissions in 2 years. It is every bit as quick as the Honda was, gets decent mileage, hasnt broken down ever, the seats are more comfortable, and the stow and go is a marvel. Were pushing about 16000 miles on it now and if its like the rest of the complaints out there - then well see - but it does have a 7/70 warranty and Honda is certainly no better. Honda power doors would not open quick if power doors not functioning - or ever. Dodge completely worked around this issue.

  • ATTN: Muffler issue on Stow n Go Models - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
    By -

    Not a good design.Getting annoying noise from Muffler at certain RPM(30- 40Mph typically). Dealer agrees it is design issue with stow N go seating models. Spoke to Crysler customer support department, unexpectedly Very Very POOR response. They said, they wont do anything about it and told me do whatever you can. My car has about 1500 miles and only 2 months old. I started noticing this after 750 miles. I am not at all satisfied with Crysler. This is not my first car, this is my 5th vehicle that I bought.

  • Nice update - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

    We previously owned a 1995 Grand Caravan and because of the great reliability we had and the comfortable drive it provided we decided to stay with this for our next van. We love the features included on the SXT and find Stow and Go indespensible already.

    I love this van. The new stow n go seats are great and it is so roomy. I also love the automatic hatch.

    Overall a very good vehicle. Ownership has been very positive especially getting service from my dealer. Great vehicle for long distance trips and driving. I especially love the fold-n-go seating!

  • love my 2005 grand caravan! - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

    I bought my Grand Caravan new in 2004. I had already drive 2 other caravans but this one is by far the best. I started at 2000 miles and now have almost 150,000 miles on it. I havent had to put any money into this van except regular maintenance (brakes, tires, serpentine belt at 100,000 miles etc.). I have taken it on several road trips to Florida, Georgia, and New York and it is very comfortable. (Even slept overnite in it for camping). Can transport large items and fill it up with camping supplies plus 4 passengers! The mileage was good for a larger vehicle and I am looking for a smaller vehicle only because I dont need a minivan anymore and could use higher gas mileage savings.

    This is our forth Dodge/Plymouth Minivan and it is by far the best. I was pleasantly surprised about how well the Van cruises throught the mountains and the handling is great. We added the Dodge running boards and it added to the good looks of the Van. This one is a long term keeper.

  • Love it! - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
    By -

    Bought it new with 16 miles. Now has 84,000. Love it! Stow n go is the best. Lots of room, rides smooth, and very comfortable. Only money we have put into it is for a faulty blinker switch. No other problems. Gets average of 20 mpg (which isnt bad for a van). Auto doors-great when hands are full-just a push of a button. Family is grown, so we are now selling it. Really hate to see it go, but going to something smaller for better gas mileage.

  • Our first van - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
    By -

    We are very happy with our new van. It is as comfortable to ride in as our Buick LaSabre. We LOVE the stow n go features. I highly recommend this van. We have never bought a new vehicle before but when we saw all the wonderful options, we knew we couldnt settle for less than this make and model.
