Faults:

There is something terribly wrong with the electrical system in this model. We had no power to the gauges (gas, miles, RPMs). We spent quite a bit on it to try to figure out how to fix the electrical problem, but sold it to the guy fixing it, because it was not worth the money we were putting in to it, especially when they couldn't find a cause to the electrical problem. Tried to see if fuses were good, and they were.

General Comments:

The van had a lot of power, it got up to speed really fast.

Gates System Solution Micro V Kit # 38379K OR 38142K

Belt may seem short, I'm have it from the mouth of Gates that this is normal. Also not to worry about grooved belt running over smooth pulleys (water pump). Gates says the grooves offer less resistance therefor no worries.

Gates also says they tested this part for 6 months on a 'fleet'. If belt just too short/tight, replace one of the pulleys with pulley # 38008.

I have replaced only a/c condenser, radiator,& thermostat through 155,000 miles, other than normal maintenance (batteries, tires, brakes, belts) Praise the Lord!!!

General Comments:

This car has proven to be as reliable as my last one, a Chrysler Town and Country, and it is my third Chrysler van. I've owned three of these, lasting now over 30 years total.

Faults:

In the first year I had to have the roof checked because there was water drops coming out of the ventilation outlets next to the rear door. The reason was some mistakes in the gasket, but Chrysler fixed it.

Beside some general replacement of spare parts such as brakes, I've only had to have the starter replaced just recently.

General Comments:

I purchased the minivan in 1998, its year of manufacture. I have been checking the van at a Chrysler shop on a regular basis, and have never had any problems so far. It always got me where and whenever I wanted to. And it is still running perfectly.

I think it is one of the best vans manufactured, and I would always buy it again.

But I also must say that I treat my car with some sort of "respect". It is not just a car, but a part of my life, and I trust it whenever I am in it, alone or with my family.

Faults:

The air conditioner's compressor had to be replaced at 50,000 miles.

The van could not be used in the rain because the serpentine belt would fall off whenever it got wet, even in puddles AFTER the rain.

We had three different tensioner pulleys installed on this car and at least 10 belts.

The engine had to be replaced at 92,000 miles.

Whenever the brakes needed to be replaced, the drums did, too.

The final straw came when during the last rain when the belt fell off AGAIN and the steering became manual. When I tried to pull off the road a car came out of no where without its lights on in a heavy rain and totaled my car, nearly killing my son. But by the grace of God he is still alive.
