A great deal
I have had no major problems with van.
The Voyager was a great investment for my family. Roomy, smooth ride and handling.

This car is a piece of junk!!!
New A/C compressor and condenser.
Brakes replaced four times.
Door jammed, needed to replace it.
Needed to buy a new battery.
Oxygen sensors replaced.
Fuel rail and rack replaced.
Child built in seatbelt not working.
Panel lights go on and off on their own.
Check engine light constantly on.
This car is not only a headache financially, but has also become a danger to me and my children's safety.
We have stalled on the highway several times without warning and were hit in the back while stuck on the shoulder.
Support from Chrysler is horrible! Don't buy this car if you value the lives of your children as well as yourself.

Solid, dependable, well though-out.
I had the belts replaced at 86,000.
There's a squeak under the second seat.
The sliding door's 'door ajar' switch seems to be failing.
The Mitsubishi 3.0 V6 in this Grand Voyager is mated to a durable, low-tech Chrysler 3-speed automatic transmission.
The Mitsubishi motor is known for premature valve failure, and I think we might be moving down that path; one valve is tapping just a bit.
The transmission that people seem to have trouble with is the electronic 4-speed. If you own one of those, be very, very sure that any mechanic that so much as glances in its direction knows of ATF-Plus formulated transmission fluids, and how they differ from Dexron and Mercon. Most will put Dexron in there on a transmission flush, an act that Chrysler has implicitly authorized over the years. Don't let it happen. It's designed for ATF-Plus.
Overall, it's well-designed, spacious, rattle-free except for the squeak. And that will be easy enough to fix on a warmer day than today.

Comfortable mini-van, terrible transmission
Transmission slipped and leaked, no surprise! Car overheated due to faulty Oxygen sensor computer chip, common problem. Windshield wipers went on by themselves when using turn signals or for no reason whatsoever due to design flaw wires too cramped. Door locks occasionally opened and shut for no reason due to electrical quirk. Brakes wore out too frequently and should probably have had larger brake pads, another design flaw. Engine fire while I was driving this deathtrap on wheels. Thank God my kids weren't on board or a person with physical disabilities. I escaped with just smoke inhillation. There were no warning signs before this happened and the vehicle was rarely used. I probably should get a lawyer and sue Chrysler so someone else doesn't die in a similar situation.
The four speed transmissions on the 3.3 and 3.8 liter engine have never been fixed from the previous model and Chrysler doesn't give a damn that people with small children have to pay for Chrysler's design flaw. Makes you wonder if it is a way to get you to visit the service shop for costly repairs. If you must buy a Plymouth/Dodge/Chrysler mini-van for some reason stick with the underpowered 3.0 liter engine if possible so you won't have to buy several transmissions. An extended service policy, especially for the power train is a necessity with this vehicle when opting for the ultra-drive transmission. There is a lot to like about these vehicles, if it weren't for the transmission problem. They are very comfortable, give a commanding view of the road and can comfortably fit 7.

Transmission shifting problem.
This is the 2nd van I purchased from same maker. I have experienced the same problem with the transmission. Symptoms came out just about the same time with the 1st one. Well, there seems to be a problem, I just wonder what....
Other than this, we're satisfied, still don't know if there will be a three-peat.

Replaced door locks and door sensors. Replaced power window motor. Brake rotor was defective.
Chrysler dealers were reluctant to fix problems while the car was under warranty.

It is a very nice van, but my transmission has been replaced two times. It costs 1 grand for one transmission.
The cassette player got ruined.
And it is very expensive on gas. When gas is at 85 cents per litre it's expensive, even at around 70. If you drive a lot this ain't the right van for you.
Thumping/sloshing noise in gas tank.
Cruise control switch had to be replaced.
I am generally pleased but this is no European manufactured automobile. I traded a Volvo 240 DL Station Wagon and the overall construction of the Caravan is sub par in comparison. The paint and carpet seem to be wearing quite fast.

Please ask to have the gas smell checked. It could be part of a recent recall. My 1997 was recalled as was my friend's 1996 and it had to do with a fuel line...I'm surprised you were not notified, unless you are not the original owner or for some reason Chrysler does not have your current address.
