2010 Dodge Caravan
Summary:
Good family car, but Dodge needs to fix the brake and clearance issues before I'd buy one again
Faults:
The biggest I've had with this vehicle is the brakes.
First, there was a defective part in the front, which luckily was under warranty. Last year, I had to completely replace the front brakes; this year the rear brakes -- and now the shop says the front rotors have to be replaced AGAIN! I know this is a bigger vehicle, which puts lots of wear and tear on the brakes when using them -- like a truck -- but REALLY? The car is barely 5 years old and I still have a year left to pay on it -- and I've had to get the brakes fixed 4 times already!
It would also be better if it had more ground clearance -- I've scraped the front bumper up parking it by curbs -- it just won't clear them!
Have had problems with the low tire sensor going "on" for no reason and then not shutting off -- yet another expense to have it replaced.
General Comments:
It is very comfortable for long rides. The video system has been a life-saver on long trips with kids.
Love the "Stow & Go" feature -- we use it a lot when transporting dogs, luggage, and purchases from IKEA. Gets decent mileage in town and fantastic mileage on the highway/freeway.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
