  a nightmare - 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By pcarrs - May 8 - 6:45 am

  i would not recommend this car to anyone i have owned this vehicle for 3 years i have over 200,000 miles on it i run it as a taxi and am familiar with all the problems others have written about it. brakes are the worst they designed them too small i have to replace pads every 3 months somtimes sooner if the calipers stick replaced calipers, and rotors. replaced heater hoses several times the plastic tee cracks which leads to leaks. radiator cracked. ac compressor hoses burst. motor mounts need constant replaceing. this car is a money pit. you can purchase a hummer for the price you spend on this van and the fuel economy is the same!!!!!!!

  Disgusted - 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By michelle - May 4 - 9:30 am

  Bought this vehicle brand new. I have had A/C issues, latch issues and shift issues. Most of all, I have put $500 recently into rear brakes after having had my front brakes already replaced for the same reason, squealing. I complained about the three times I have had to return my van for problems, but have gotten nowhere. They need to recall the brakes! I have owned 2 other Caravans and enjoyed owning them but not this one.

  My new dDodge problems - 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By ladow - April 20 - 8:03 am

  First off i have the 2008 sxt with the 3.3LT flex feul system. I love the new body style its fun to drive and very comfortable. Its great for our family of 5 and the entertainment center is a must have. Now the bad, we recently passed 2000km mark and it is already been towed to the dealership. The power steering has failed as noted by the huge puddle of power steering fluid on the ground in front of my house and the fact the tow truck driver saying this was his 6th Caravan in the last 4 weeks with the same problem. Im also having issues with the windshield washer fluid low light not coming on.

  Questionable Workmanship - 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By DICK TRIESCH - April 11 - 6:23 am

  While parked and unoccupied, the van shifted out of park on its own and coasted down into another parked car. Chrysler sent an inspector out who couldnt find anything wrong. They wont repair damage done to van in collision. They act like it never happened. Beware 08 van owners! Always set emergency brake when parked. Chryslers customer service is not very impressive. Well have to take them to small claims court for them to address the fact that it happened.

  Dodge got it right! - 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By Brian - February 12 - 5:36 pm

  Just bought this van and I am impressed already. This redesigned 08 looks sharp and has all the features you could want without the mark-ups you get from Honda and the other guys. We got the 28N package which puts you into the 4.0L V- 6 at 255hp (Plenty of power on the highway plus more than all of the competition). Inside is great with two DVD screens and the swivel and go seating. Power doors and lift gate make this grocery getter easy to love. Dads dont worry about the minivan stigma because this thing looks and drives great.

  Ok for the price - 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By agarven - January 30 - 10:39 pm

  Bought this car new, now has 65,000km. Probably the most practical vehicle there is for a family at a good price. Brakes are a problem, replaced front pads and rotors at 35,000km. Rear caliper seized ruining rear rotor and pad (covered under warranty). Noisy exhaust (not sure if this is a problem or not).

  What an Upgrade! - 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By STLsparks - July 16 - 1:56 am

  Previously drove a 2004 Grand Caravan and this car blows its doors off. Terrific improvements in almost every aspect and I cant say enough how much Ive enjoyed this car in the first few weeks of ownership. Tons of compliments from everyone who sees it and we had the choice between the 2008 Grand caravan and the 2007 Odyssey LX (for about the same price) and to us it was no contest. 4.0 engine is a nice upgrade and they made the ride much more car-like (and quieter) compared to our prior Caravan.

  Transmission problems - 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By mcltk - June 21 - 1:33 pm

  Ive had my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan for 18mo. Ive been without my van for over ten weeks because of multiple problems. In fact it has been in the shop for over seven weeks because they cannot find parts to repair the transmission that has gone out for the second time. Great quality Dodge! Do yourself a favor and never look at a dodge or chrysler product ever. Oh yea, its not their fault that they cannot get the parts to repair my van. Its the suppliers fault. They probably wont make them for dodge anymore because they were just screwed by them with the recent bankrupcy.
