I bought a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan with sto & go seating and I'll never buy another Dodge again! I bought this to up grade from the Saturn VUE that I was driving. I needed more space for me and my kids. First off the dodge dealer only gave us $500 for our trade in and it was in great condition. We could have sold it for at-least $2000 ourselves but thought they'd give us more than $500 and they never did. I've only had this van for a little over three years now and it is falling apart! My husband is now driving the VUE and it doesn't have anything wrong with it yet if I want my van to keep running, I have to put about $2000 into it. The shocks have broken on the front end, the timing is off, all the plugs need to be replaced, the air conditioner leaks into the passenger floor board (which causes the carpet to turn sour so the whole van stinks) the brakes have already been replaced, the van makes a loud knocking sound when you turn the wheel sharp to get into a parking space and the list goes on! I think this is sad since I've only had the van for a little over three years. The most I drive the van is to take my daughter to and from school which is only five minutes down the road! I've told the Dodge employee that works on my car and anyone who was there that I'll never buy a dodge again. They might have good engines but if the rest of the car won't hold up then what's the point of having a good engine! They said that if I plan to keep the van for ever then I need to fix all the problems because the warranty won't cover it. I don't plan on keeping this van and when I do trade it in, I don't care if all I get is $500 for it because it really isn't worth that much! Also the amount of gas I have to put in this thing is crazy, so if you're looking for something that has good gas mileage this van is not for you!
