  • Never Again - 2000 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    When I first purchased the vehicle, I thought I had leased a good reliable Van. It ran nice, was comfortable and quiet. Then during the next year, I was in for a shock. The transmission was repaired twice before it finally went in for a transmission overhaul. Then came the brake pads after a year and a half. Original pads were only cheap pads. Then came the water pump, alternator and drive belts. In year three, tires were replaced, my ignition seized up and wouldnt start. After that it was goodby Van. Would never buy another.

  • Electrical! - 2000 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    Multiple problems with electrical systems, which adds up to a large amount of money. Constantly had transmission problems. I would not recommend this vehicle. They do not hold their value at all, and with my experience with Dodge products, they are not reliable. I will never buy another Dodge or Chrysler product. In my case, three times is not a charm.

    I never thought I would own a minivan! This minivan changed my mind quickly~I am extremely pleased with my minivan. It has been reliable, strong, has great options that are practical and is in my opinion the best pick in minivans!

  • Excellent Family Minivan!!! - 2000 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    I have owned the short Caravan for over two years. We chose this model over the extended because at the time, we had heard that the extended had a few problems in general. This van is perfect! This minivan has dual sliding doors I would never buy another van without them......they are great! This van gives reliability, a smooth ride, fairly quiet, reasonable gas mileage, tons of room for family or cargo or both! The AC/heat is excellent. Weve driven in the mountains weve driven on 3,000 mile vacations. It makes great use of storage. This van is a little on the plastic side. But, for the money, its an excellent choice!

  • Good All Around Vehical - 2000 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    I have put 40,000 on the van. I bought the caravan rather tha the grand caravan because I wanted the better milage and less weight for power. It certainly isnt sexy but is handy as hell. From plywood and bricks to kids and trips it is an excellent vehical for a family and home owner.

  • Great All Around Useful Vehical - 2000 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    The van has been great for all around use. From hauling bricks and lumber for home projects to carrying kids for the little league team. Mini-Vans get no respect, but for all around use this Van would be hard to beat. 26k on road during family trips with loads of room. The caravan handles better than the bigger grand caravan and unless you need the added room it seems to perform better all around. The 6 gives it enough power.

  • Eats Belts and Brakes! - 2000 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    This van is a company vehicle for me. I have had it for about 9 mos and have taken it from 55000 to 72000. In that time I have had a freon leak, lost two AC belts, and lost a serpentine belt. I had the brakes redone about 10000 miles ago, and they started sqeeking already. The driverside window frame came loose inside of the door causing it to get stuck. A power window switch burned out. On of the rear seats squeek at about 110 decibels at highway speeds. The tires are wearing out too quickly in my opinion, and the van has a convulsing shimmy at highway speeds. The Gas mileage has gone from bad to worse.
