Unreliable - 2000 Dodge Caravan
By FamilyOf5 - April 6 - 2:00 amWeve been very dissappointed with the build quality and reliability. At barely 60,000 miles it feels like a 100,000 mile vehicle.

Not a good experience with my Caravan - 2000 Dodge Caravan
By Dave-99 - March 30 - 2:00 amI would not buy a Chrysler product again. Had to replace the transmission at 81000 miles when it just quit working. Were it not for an extended warranty this would have cost $3000 to fix. But still, the deductible and non- covered items set me back $250--for a vehicle with 81000 miles! It rattles, the drivers side seatbelt latch doesnt release without a fight, and today the speedometer quit. And lets not forget about the steering wheel vinyl taht literally melts in your hands. Very disappointing.

Disappointed - 2000 Dodge Caravan
By vans - February 1 - 2:00 amWe bought this car in the spring of 2002. It had 30,000 miles at the time. We have owned the car less than 2 years and the transmission is shot at 53,000 miles. We followed manufacturer recommendations and had the transmission fluid replaced last year. Didnt do any good. Very disgusted about the whole thing. Over all, I have loved my van up to this point. I know Dodges are known for transmission problems, but to have it go at 53,000 miles?? Buyers beware.

My second one! - 2000 Dodge Caravan
By Nomad1500 - January 16 - 2:00 amWell so far nothing major. I have only had it for 3 months. I had the transmission solenoid gasket replaced,70 bucks. I have a 1989 Grand Caravan with a 3.0 as with this one. 177,000 miles on it. Still no oil on the spark plugs! The 3.0 is a mitsubishi motor, I feel the Japs make a good v6 so I went with it again. Other than the 3.0 leaking oil around the valve cover gaskets it seems to be the engine of choice for me vs Dodge. I read alot about transmission problems, Ill let ya know if I have any. None so far on the 89. Remember! The Caravans may lose value but that helps us used car buyers. Godd handling on this van.

Great Utility Vehicle - 2000 Dodge Caravan

No problems so far... - 2000 Dodge Caravan
By Mountaineers - December 5 - 2:00 amWe purchased the Sport edition due to the curvy mountainous roads we have to travel, and have found the handeling to be very good for a vehcile that weighs two tons. In almost four years, the only time weve been back to the dealer was due to a loose connection at the transmission fluid cooler. They did acknowledge that it was fairly common to have to tighten those. No engine or transmission problems, and no complaints. We have taken the van on the 2,000 mile round trip between home and Florida several times without incident, but the seats are not all that comfortable after 10 or 12 hours.

Never Again! - 2000 Dodge Caravan
By nezzy - November 10 - 2:00 amWe bought this new, have put just over 60K miles on it, and its falling apart. Transmission is failing. Air conditioner needs $1000 repair. Brake master cylinder needs replacement. Intermittant wiper feature not working. Several annoying trim-related problems. Have already replaced alternator and battery. Overall, just unacceptable quality. Mechanics have told me that several of these are common problems with these vehicles. Our next minivan will not be a Caravan!
