2005 Dodge Grand Caravan — 

When I was researching vehicles,when I bought my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, I noticed that others were complaining about Transmission issues on ALL the DGC. I have yet had any transmission problems but the car only has 55000 m on it. There was a recall on the rear ac tubes(cant remember the technical name) that I had taken care of before I left the dealership, but the next summer, my AC went out.  Found out that recall part design was bad and they had a third set of pieces to fix the problem, we'll see how long it lasts. Just recently my ERG valve sensor went bad. Sensor and valve are one part and dealer only. The part to fix it was 100.00.  Too much.I bought my vehicle used in 06 as a program vehicle(have done this before and it has always worked well for me )Payed 14000$with 25000 miles on it.WE have a 97 DGC thats still running (DH drives ) and that was our first and favorite van, comfy seats and not alot of problems with it.Kinda dissapointed with the 05.
