Dodge Caravan - SXT

Purchased the vehicle in 2010 -- it had 32,000 miles only. Comfortable ride. Not as good gas mileage as I'd like. Seems to have more repair issues than I've had on other vehicles I've owned. Items repaired for a vehicle at 127,620 miles. Items repaired or replaced. Water pump at 60,000 miles; shocks and struts at 80,000 miles; power-steering pump and reservoir at 110,000 miles; Brakes replaced 4 times. On my 3 set of tires. The van is washed often, but rust on the lower body of vehicle is evident.

2006 Caravan 230,000 miles

Very reliable if maintained, the 2.4 cylinder is enough to get from point A to B. Removable passenger seats is a plus. Just a general purpose vehicle with many uses. Easy to drive and tough as nails.

Needs a new home

Reliable. Nobles Automotive has kept it working very well. <140K mi, a little banged up. Roof rack. Stow and go 2nd and 3rd rows. Split 3rd row. Front and real climate controls. Seats, carpet in excellent condition. CD player. Tow hitch. Ask Nobles to connect you with owner. Mom doesn't need a minivan anymore.

Wife's Transportation Car

Now 10 yrs old and keeping up with service this Dodge Caravan has been reliable and easy to drive. We are reaching 100,000 miles and know we can still trust it.

OH THE RUST

THE CAR OPERATES LIKE A CLOCK BUT HAS THAT NORMAL MICHIGAN RUST. I WOULD THINK A LOCAL MANUFACTURER COULD HAVE SOLVED THIS BY NOW. THAT IS MY ONLY COMPLAINT

Please see review above.

I have enjoyed driving the Dodge mini-van most of the more than 10 years of using it. Truthfully, before my husband passed away four years ago, he was able to care for and repair certain problems. Generally, I will say that the problems have usually been small. Also, I have read that many of the automobiles built by Chrysler-Dodge for a period of several years, including 2006, are troublesome. I believe that assessment should be taken with a grain of salt!

280,000 and still going.

Purchased this vehicle new in 2006. It currently has over 280,000 miles on it and I plan to watch as the odometer rolls over to 300,000. I have done regular maintenance on the van and only had to repair some fairly inexpensive parts. This has proved a good purchase choice,

Grand for sure

Its 12 years old now,and except for minor electrical problems has been great! Has stow n go seats which have enabled me to load full sheets of 4x8 plywood and drywall and still close the liftgate.Mileage in the city could use improvement. Has 3.3L V-6 Plenty of power even towing fishing boat.Wish they still made this style without all the costly electronic garbage!

2006 Dodge Caravan

I bought the van used and it was considered high mileage, however it was a good vehicle and I used it for several long distance trips. It was comfortable driving and riding. My dogs enjoyed the roominess of the interior and could stretch out and sleep.

Wonderful reliable van, easy adjustable seating for different uses.

Bought this three year old van with under 6,000 miles on the clock form Car-Max. Main reason was the easy changeable seat configuration. After 3 years the 6 year old tires showed deteriorating sidewalls. First repair expense came after owning it for 6 years. Cooling pump showed slow leak. At this rate I will own it for many more years.

Sturdy, comfortable, reliable

This is our second Chrysler van, the first was a Plymouth Voyager, second owners, had it until it was 13 and was falling apart, but it started first time, every time. Reliable van. This second one is now 10 years old and we'd get another one except I believe they only make the Grand size now, and it's too big for us. It's a great line of vehicles.

Superb vehicle! I bought it as a Program vehicle with 25,000 miles on it. It now has 258,000. Original engine and transmission. I replaced the water pump, air conditioner and the catalytic converter. Changed the oil regularly using full synthetic oil. Hope it makes 300,000 miles...!
