  Nice family car for most parts - 2004 Dodge Caravan
  By Halldor Geirsson - March 3 - 4:41 pm

  I had this car (model 2004) for 5 years and drove 64k miles on it (56-110k). The car probably had some prior frontal damage before I bought it, which may have propagated into some of the maintenance issues I ran into. We had to replace a number of things (radiator, alternator/battery, window motor, rotors, tail light, etc) and had the check-engine light on for most of the time, due to some emission codes which could never be figured despite a few tries by the local dealer and another garage. But the great thing about owning a Dodge in the US is that spare parts are easy and quick to get and we probably only lost a couple of days when we would have needed to use the car. Overall likable car.

  FRONT END FACTORY TOLERANCE AT LIMIT - 2004 Dodge Caravan
  By kwethington1 - December 13 - 7:39 pm

  This is our second Plymouth/Dodge van. We bought both new. The 98 was great. This van will not align without changing the toe-in to make up for the left veering. The front right side of the axle, is at the factory limit of degrees forward of ideal, the the front left side axle is at the factory limit for back of ideal. Consequently, when aligned, properly, the car is 3 or 4 degrees out of straight and veers left, a lot. The dealership kept it running straight when it was under warranty. It left the factory, driving straight. Both had to set the toe-in off to do this.

  Good basic family hauler - 2004 Dodge Caravan
  By Landric - April 21 - 8:23 pm

  I bought this vehicle used about six months ago. I discovered the day before my twin sons were born that I could not fit a car seat behind the drivers seat in my Toyota Matrix and still drive it comfortably. I couldnt afford a new van right then, but I needed something I could fit car seats in and still drive. I have the base SE with the 4-cylinder, AC, & CD Player. The only option it has are the side airbags. So far no break downs, though sometimes the transmission behaves strangely when the heater is on, shifting erratically. Its only happened a couple of times, but its disconcerting. I just bought a new 2009 Kia Sedona at a hefty discount, so the Caravan is now around town only.

  Happy with my van - 2004 Dodge Caravan
  By cie - December 23 - 8:42 pm

  So far I am totally satisfied with my van. The only problem I have had thus far was about 2.5 months after I bought the car it started cutting off on me so I took it in and they said that it was my spark plugs I don’t know why after that short period of time that a new car would have that problem but it did it was fixed of course with no charge to me and the tires I think I have cheap tires but I can buy new one but all in all I love my mini van it seats all 6 of us comfortably

  STX is a SMART BUY - 2004 Dodge Caravan
  By Lisa/Matt NJ - March 1 - 6:14 pm

  Have had van for 10 months, aside from taking it back to dealer for a cracked vacuum line and a leak where the oil filter mounts to the engine the van has been trouble free. This is our second Sport model and we love it. Rides great and is the perfect size for our 2 kid family. Love rear split seats. Love price and styling. Would buy it again.

  I love my Caravan - 2004 Dodge Caravan
  By kak2961 - September 17 - 2:00 am

  I have not had one single problem with my van. It handles well, accelerates well, in the city and on the highway. The interior is comfortable, the climate controls easy and responsive.
