1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE 3.0
Summary:
This van has been very reliable transportation, and maintenance has been routine
Faults:
AT 146,000 miles we replaced the transmission.
The cruise control went out at 120,000 miles.
Brake lines were replaced at 134,000 miles.
The back shocks were replaced at 146,000 miles.
General Comments:
This car has performed wonderfully and has been on at least 5 - 2500 miles trips. It is comfortable and handles very on long or short trips.
We are on our third set of tires and replaced the struts and back shocks.
The fuel filter, fuel pump, brakes, drive axles, front suspension system, ball joints have been replaced.
The body has no rust on it and the interior is in great condition.
It was our primary vehicle for 7 years, but now it is our utility vehicle.
We plan on keeping the van for many, many years.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Your Transmission slip isn't because you drive it hard, it is because your trans will go soon. Every Grand Caravan/Voyager has had atleast one trans go bad. Go have it checked out, but that is probably what will happen soon. My mom has had to put one trans in hers, a former teacher had to put 2 and needed a third when she sold it, and someone I was going to a truck off of, said they had already put two in. Also, check out other Grand Caravan's/Voyager's comments, you will see that trans is a common problem on these vans.
My mom finally parked it, and now she has a Toyota Previa with 266,000 miles. One year older that her Caravan, and it is worth three times as much.
