2000 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport 3.8
Summary:
Above average vehicle, below average dealer
Faults:
Adjusted mileage! Rear brakes were metal to metal, spark plugs & wires needed replaced, transmission leaks fluid, tie rod ends were extremely worn.
General Comments:
This a one of Dodge's best thus far! Unfortunately, the Paul Sherry Dealership in Piqua, Ohio sells vehicles that it knows are beyond questionable. This vehicle has had the miles adjusted prior to my acquiring it. Thus far, I can prove that 6,000 miles were rolled off and the mechanics that have reviewed this vehicle have estimated that more likely 60,000 miles were rolled off. I am currently working to bring suit against this dealership. My recommendation is to NEVER buy a car from this dealership.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

If you read other posts on this site, you will see that I have had the same bad performance with our 2000 Grand Caravan. In review, we have the sporadic interior lights flickering on and off (ghost like!) at odd times, but usually upon braking (locks click up and down also!) We had the S-belt slip off and replaced at 40K miles just last October 2002, and again just yesterday (Feb 21,2003) at 44K miles, for no apparent reason. (YES, less than 4 months later, leaving us stranded again!) The shop replaced the belt, tensioner, and adjusted all pulleys. I had filed a complaint with Dodge in Oct., but never followed through with their reply... I sure will now!!! We are trading this piece of junk ASAP, and going Toyota or Honda!!!
