  Better than everybody else... BUT - 1998 Dodge Caravan
  By REDBARON - May 9 - 2:00 am

  Well, I guess I have done better than everybody else. I have 74K on the van and it does its job. But the transmission blew up at 74K (1 month after I paid it off). New transmission 2,600 bucks. Over all it has done a good job hauling the family until this. Never had replaced the breaks yet. I do have the oil leak but I just put some kitty liter under where I park it. It a Dodge I knew quality was poor but at the time it was the cheapest one with the 2 sliding doors. Buy the extended warranty because you will need a new transmission at some point. My mechanic guarantees it!!! Learn from my mistake. Or buy a Honda!

  Hunk of Junk! - 1998 Dodge Caravan
  By Fed-Up-Family - March 12 - 7:47 pm

  We have sunk so much money into this van. It has been the most unreliable vehicle we have ever owned. It handles OK, but is very loud (outside noise and under the hood). It squeaks and squeals so much that we dont know when something is really wrong with it. The removable seats are too heavy, and didnt even include headrests for the backseats. We have had to replace the transmission, rear main seal, and now the air conditioner has just gone up. We are fed up with this hunk of junk!

  can do better - 1998 Dodge Caravan
  By frankmendez - February 23 - 2:51 am

  I put 8000 miles on car and had several problems. I reccomend this car for any one who has children. the problems I have encountered have been minimum. Occasionally, I have put the car in park and taken the key out of the ignition but the car wouldnt shut itself off. Should I take it to the dearler
