2010 Dodge Grand Caravan Review: Unreliable Minivan Loaded With Computer & Engine Problems

Sep 5, 2022

The 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan only lasts around 150,000 miles with a lot of serious engine and computer issues. At $6,531 to $6,742 it’s cheap, but not worth the money since you’ll spend thousands keeping it running.

The Good

The stow ‘n go seating system works great, the largest engine offers good power for a minivan and there’s blind spot monitoring available.

The Bad

The base engine is weaker than other minivans, the overall build quality is terrible and the seats are not very comfortable.

Is the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan a Good Used Minivan?

Overall Rating 5/10 – 2010 is a bad year for the Grand Caravan. Owner reviews complain about the uncomfortable cabin, excessive noise, and mechanical problems.

Interior Quality 6/10 – There are a lot of cheap materials used throughout the cabin, the stow ‘n go seats are not very comfortable, and the stereo system is basic.

Reliability 5/10 – We recommend avoiding models from 2008–2012 with serious engine issues and buying models from 2013–2020 which are more reliable.

Performance 6/10 – Power is poor form the standard V6, but the larger motor offers better power for a minivan.

Safety 8/10 – The Grand Caravan is very safe, earning a perfect 5-star overall rating in all government crash tests, and getting 4-stars in the rollover risk rating.

Gas Mileage 7/10 – Fuel economy is good at around 20 MPG, which should get owners around 410 miles of range out of the 20.5 gallon gas tank. Fuel costs are $3 higher than average at $259 per month.

Positive Owner Reviews

Allison K

It's cool, not just a car for soccer moms.

Lots of space. Smooth drive. Heated seats. Great stereo.

Krista M

Dodge Grand Caravan good for families

I love my Dodge Grand Caravan. I have a large family and it holds everyone quite comfortably including our dog. The only issue that I have had so far is it seems that the can always runs hot. It never overheats but it definitely smells like it is.

marilyn k

It is a very sought after vehicle

I have no problem with my van it does not use much gas very good gas mileage very comfortable and reliable.

Tina M

Plenty of legroom in the driver's seat

Very reliable and roomy. Plenty if trunk space and let room. Perfect for large families and long roadtrips

Anita T

Great all purpose and reliable van.

This is the second Grand Caravan I have owned. I drove the first to over 150, 000 miles and this one is currently at 135, 000 miles without any major issues. It is large enough to take my family places as well as being able to be used for moving small furniture when the seats are down. I love it!

Amanda S

2010 dodge grand caravan se.

I currently drive a 2010 grand caravan with stow and go seating. I love that I have room for my whole family but can also store my seats in the floor to make room for bigger purchases and groceries. Gas mileage is great. The air conditioning unit works amazing.

Dusty C

Extra cargo space with lots of room seats 7 people.

It is reliable, had a few problems at first. The drivers side window would roll down but wouldn't go back up. The ac control panel went out. It is a good vehicle overall. Has plenty of cargo space and the chairs collapse into the floor. One thing I do not like is that it has no spare tire.

Roberta C

Stow and go is the way to go!

It is been very reliable and comfortable for our family. We have not had any problems. Performance great! Lots of room! We just have basic features. But our favorites are stow and go seats and the extra storage underneath when the seats are up. We are regularly moving and changing which seats are up and down and it is super easy!

Negative Owner Reviews

McKenzie B

Do not recommend, unpleasant.

It is very noisy, seats, windows creak. I have had problems with the window since day one. It is an uncomfortable ride. Have had to change the brakes 5 times in 4 years. Wires have burnt. Spark plugs never last. Only thing it is good for is carrying three children.

James Pope

LEMON

2010 grand caravan, has less than 60,000 origninal miles. Oil changed religiously every 3000 miles. 4 liter v6. Rocker assemblies bad. 3 fuel injectors bad. Over $2000 in parts and labor to repair. Sadly I have to bite the bullet as its out of warranty and I need this vehicle repaired ASAP as it is a handicapped accessible van that I have to have to get my wife around as she is in a wheel chair full time. $65,000 new. You'd think that with that few of miles and keeping up on maintenance that I wouldnt be having these issues. Dodge/Chrysler is junk. I've never liked them and I will NEVER, EVER own another.

Brittany M

Not the greatest van you can buy

It's uncomfortable, loud & the suspension is absolutely horrible. The bucket seats in the back are uncomfortable. There are no added features that are notable. It hasn't had any mechanical issues. It doesn't handle well. It is also very sluggish. I doesn't like to actually drive.

Pompey Pete

Lemon

The AC has failed twice now, within 3 years but not covered, $1,700 bill, 2nd time at 10 years quote $1,800. Oil Pan threaded that could have been the dealership but that is Dodge too. Drives like a bag of bolts even though it is regularly serviced. The rust is also coming on fast in spite of being rusted treated. First and Last Time buying a Dodge.

Kim L

I like that the back seats go down inside of car. The engine and window bad.

Space and comfort is good. But I have had several window replacements the part in the door that makes it move. Have a permanent check engine light on. Burns oil fast. Have had to change battery several times. If they built a more reliable and gas friendly model would be great.

Regina G

I have a short and my tail light doesn't work. I keep replacing and it keeps going out.

I have had a lot to repair. I still owe on it and I need a new one!my seat belts are messed up.

Megan J

Embarrassing honking craziness.

The key fob and the fuses are horrid my car will (out of nowhere) start honking and alarming it is horribly embarrassing. The windshield wiper fluid container does not even hold a quarter of a bottle of fluid so refills are monotonous. Windows are not tinted either.

Cara W

It doesn't run right and I wouldn't call it trustworthy at all.

We have massive problems with it dying on us while driving. But everywhere we take it says nothing is wrong with it. The tires go bad fast and the brakes don't last long at all. We've had it since 2012 and we've replaced the brakes 4 times. That's a problem we've never had with any other vehicle before.

What Do Critics Say About the Dodge Grand Caravan?

Consumer Reports says the 2010 Grand Caravan doesn’t compete well against better minivans, and has very low owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the Grand Caravan a 4.0/5 praising the safety features including blind-spot monitoring, but doesn’t like the uncomfortable seats.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Grand caravan 3.8/5 and enjoy the stow ‘n go seating, but owners don’t like the costs of repairs.

What Common Problems Does the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan Have?

The most common problems found on the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan include premature brake wear, the engine stalling while driving, and the van failing to turn on. These problems are more severe than on other minivans from 2010, and repair costs are high.

Premature brake wear is the most common complaint from owners, happening about every 35,000 miles. The pads and rotors wear out quickly on the Grand Caravan and have to be replaced. A new set of pads costs about $150, and rotors are an additional $400.

The engine stalling while driving is another issue reported by owners at around 45,000 miles. The problem is caused by the EGR valve on the engine. Replacing the EGR valve fixes the problem usually, and costs about $450.

Failure to start also shows up on some Grand Caravan models at around 80,000 miles. Usually the problem is with the totally integrated power module (TIPM), which is a known weak spot across Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep vehicles. Replacing the TIPM costs about $1,200 and is the only way to fix the issue.

There are 7 recalls, similar to other minivans from 2010. The most serious recall is for the rear axle, which is known to fracture, and Dodge will replace the axles free of charge. Many other recalls are for air bags, which are common on many vans.

How Long Will the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan Last?

A well-maintained 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan only lasts around 150,000 miles, which is only half as long as top-rated competitors including the Toyota Sienna. Regular annual maintenance costs are higher than other minivans from 2010, according to Repair Pal, at $617 per year.

Since most 2010 Grand Caravan models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace items including the intake manifold gasket for $500, heater control valve costing $425, and the oxygen sensor, which costs $285.

Stacy H

It is been very reliable. At this moment, the muffler is at a point where we are getting it replaced within the next week, but it is never had any major, very expensive problems.

Georgia K

Has been quite reliable for us. Only problem has been with the electrical system for operating the windows.

Samantha Y

No it does not high mileage been through a flood and still runs like a top. Cannot rave more about it.

Janell B

Many problems we had to fix dodge only electrical problems more than once which was very expensive. Problems with serpentine belt breaking more than once along with many other issues.

Nikita S

Very reliable. No problems. As long as you keep it serviced like you should it will last for a long time.

Dee C

Yes it is. It’s 9 years old so it has Norah wear problems but it’s in good shape and has never been in an accident so the body still looks good too.

Mary Ann F

The van is reliable and it has limited problems. I've had to make a few repairs, new battery, new tires, etc.

Shane B

None but ordinary problems of usage. It easily passes inspection each year. All systems including air conditioning and electronics function well

Is the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan a Good Value?

No, the 2010 Grand Caravan is not a good value since there are so many issues. Blue book prices range from $6,531 to $6,742, making the Dodge Grand Caravan cheaper than similarly equipped minivans like the Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Town & Country. When new, the price range was $23,660 to $27,160. Depreciation is worse than average, losing about 12% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Dodge Grand Caravan?

The fifth generation of the Grand Caravan was launched in 2008, and was discontinued after 2020 when Dodge stopped making minivans. There are three models of the Dodge Grand Caravan offered for 2010.

C/V is the entry-level commercial model with:

16-Inch Steel Wheels
2 Seats
2-Speaker AM/FM/CD Stereo

SE is the entry-level passenger van and has:

Unique 16-Inch Steel Wheels
Cloth Seating
Power Windows & Locks
Tri-Zone Climate Control

4-Speaker AM/FM/CD Stereo With 3.5mm AUX

SXT is the top-of-the-line model and adds:

What Engines Come In the Dodge Grand Caravan?

The base engine is the fairly weak 3.3L V6 which makes 175 horsepower while getting up to 19 MPG.
A step up is the stronger 3.8L V6 which produces 197 horsepower and gets around 18 MPG.
The flagship engine is the powerful 4.0L V6 which generates 251 horsepower while getting around 20 MPG. Performance is similar to other minivans, taking 8.3 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Dodge Grand Caravan Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Dodge Grand Caravan?

The 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan is average in terms of comfort, and is similar in size to the Kia Sedona and Honda Odyssey. The stow ‘n go seating is practical and easy to fold for storage, but they’re not as comfortable as other minivans and have less padding.

Passenger room is excellent throughout the cabin with seating for up to 8 and enough room for adults in all three rows.

How Is the Storage In the Dodge Grand Caravan?

Cargo space is fantastic with enough space for 5-6 suitcases behind the third row, and 10+ behind the second row.

How Does the Dodge Grand Caravan Compare to the Competition?

The Dodge Grand Caravan is a bad minivan since there are so many mechanical problems. We recommend buyers avoid the 2010 model and go with one from 2013–2020.

The Toyota Sienna is another competitor, which costs around $2,000 more. Performance is better in the Toyota Sienna, but the seats fold flat easier in the Dodge Grand Caravan. We recommend going with the Toyota Sienna since they last much longer and have lower ownership costs.

The Chrysler Town & Country is another van that costs about $500 more. Both the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country are built on the same platform and share the same engines. Where the Chrysler Town & Country stands out is with a more luxurious interior. We recommend avoiding both the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country for 2010 since they have the same mechanical issues.

Yes. It is not had any huge problems besides regular repairs you would expect to make with this age of a vehicle. It has over 200,000 miles on it and is still safe and running well.

Samantha Y

Yes would recommend to anyone. We have never been disappointed has high mileage but wouldn't hesitate to jump in and drive from Florida to Pennsylvania in a heartbeat.

We have had lots of problems so we don't plan to buy from dodge again. We have had two repairs that required a dodge dealer and were very expensive. We have only had the van for 3 years.

Yes I highly recommend for families and it has good storage and lots of room. Good on gas and haven't had any major mechanical issues.

Allison M on June 25, 2021

It is not your mom's minivan.

She runs smooth and has plenty of space for everything I need. She has an efficient use of space so everything is convenient for me. She has no trouble at high speeds. Floats along like I am on a cloud. She's reliable and dependable. Also, she looks sporty-- for a minivan.

Daisy R on June 23, 2021

The dodge caravan of 2010 was not a reliable choice.

This vehicle is great depending on what engine is attached to it. However, this is our 4th time trying to fix a problem with the vehicle. For example, the gas pump on ours totally gave in. It was sudden when we tried to turn it on but wouldn't let the gas register.

Charlotte Z on June 10, 2021

2010 dodge grand caravan.

I have had 4 dodge caravans and I have loved them all. This is the newest one I have owned (2010) and it does have some problems, but that is to be expected. It is roomy, it rides good and it is really good on gas. My absolute favorite thing about my van is all of the storage compartments and all the room that is has to offer.

Jo L on June 7, 2021

Rear entry ramp with fold down jump seat.

Our van is actually wheelchair accessible. It has a rear entry ramp. The best part is that there is a jump seat that can fold up and down to allow a wheelchair to park. This works awesome for our family as we have 3 daughters and my disabled mother to transport. I also like the dual adjustment on the HVAC.

Eeik C on May 28, 2021

Incredibly convenient and comfortable.

It has performed great. It is extremely easy for me to get myself and my wheelchair in I with the driver’s side sliding door and the electric close buttons make it very convenient. The only problem I had was a wheel coming off when the mounting studs sheared off.

Vanessa A on May 27, 2021

The dodge grand caravan is a great family vehicle.

The dodge grand caravan is a great family vehicle. It has a lot of nice features like ac/heat control in the back and automatic doors with buttons in the back. The middle windows roll down to a safe level that our kids enjoy. It gets decent gas mileage for a minivan and offers a smooth ride. It is pretty roomy in the seating areas and the cargo department is very generous. The stow and go seats are a great feature.

Yuliia S on May 9, 2021

So if you looking car for family with kids, it is a good choice.

This is a nice car, very suitable for a family with children, spacious, runs good, great for long journeys, there is a sockets for 110. One of the downsides is that you need to look after it, wash it in winter otherwise it will start to rust and faster than other cars.

Dan H on April 25, 2021

Dodge grand caravan with power windows and doors and stow and go seats.

I like the power doors and windows, being able to open the back hatch and sliding side doors with the key fob is useful. Unfortunately the driver side passenger door does not always latch properly automatically so we have to manually close it sometimes, but overall it is a pretty reliable vehicle.

Bridget B on April 17, 2021

Dodge grand caravan and its issues and stuff.

Sometimes the ac doesn't work and 3 of the 4 windows wont roll down. The car is a bit big and kind of difficult to parallel park. Has buttons on door to adjust outside mirrors so that's nice. Overall a decent car but just a little old. Also sometimes the one working automatic door sometimes doesn't like to close which is quite difficult.

Laura R on April 9, 2021

Great for kids and storage.

I really enjoy my van. The stow and go seating is awesome. It has great storage up top. My only real complaint is that the middle console is extremely loose and rattles of we are on the highway. It is also extremely difficult to get into the back seats. But the automatic doors are great and easy to use. Helpful when putting in my children.

Christa B on April 4, 2021

It has lots of space and the store and go seating has been helpful for hauling

It has been extremely dependable. Only minor repairs. It has also pulled a camper for use. It rides comfortably

Jennifer G on April 4, 2021

Great family road trip vehicle.

We've had our van for over 10 years now. Very comfortable traveling vehicle. Great for road trips or just driving around town. Plenty of room for my family and all of our gear. We had issues with the calipers on a few occasions, but were told the 2010 model was notorious for this issue.

Hillary D on March 29, 2021

Cross the country, and be comfortable.

My grand caravan is awesome!! I have put it through the wringer. From driving country roads to the mountains. So much room for kids, luggage, and groceries. Stow and go seating is so convenient make space when you need too. Have not had a single problem with it mechanically. Most reliable ride I have ever had.

Megan J on March 29, 2021

Embarrassing honking craziness.

Pam D on March 28, 2021

It has fun glow lights in the ceiling like a limo.

I love that the seats are high so that there is a bend in your knees making it more comfortable. I do tend to go through sets of brakes. The reverse went out on it on the way home from Disneyland. I do like the stow and go storage which creates a large cargo space.

Tracy H on March 27, 2021

Space in Dodge Grand-Caravan

We love the space that we have inside the vehicle by reconfiguring the stow a go seats. I allows us to transport all sorts of things while still being able to fit our entire family.

Sarah B on March 24, 2021

Family van of my dreams!!

Overall it is a very reliable car with plenty of space. Though the model is a bit more boxy than I typically prefer, my husband and I both enjoy driving it. I do not feel like we are lacking any necessary technology, even though it is 10 years old. It has started having some maintenance issues, but nothing our preferred mechanic cannot handle.

Lisa A on March 24, 2021

When you want a family car that can handle all the road trips, pick a caravan.

I love my van, super spacious and comfy. A lot of storage space and a big trunk! The seats go down in the back to carry larger items! Runs smooth never had a problem with it and I have had it for 9 years. Good for snow and all kinds of weather. We have endless memories in our van.

Meaghan F on March 23, 2021

A beautiful dodge grand caravan in good condition.

My van rides really comfortably. It seats 7 people, which is my family size. I love how it drives. It has cruise control. There are stow n go seats which makes it extremely nice. The downfall I see is it is a little gas hog and it does not have phone connection with the radio.

Joshua A on March 19, 2021

It's 10 years old and still runs like It's new.

Honestly I have no complaints. Its 10 years old and going strong. Still a smooth ride. I love dodge. It had some basic wear and tear and was involved in minor fender benders but the damage was negligible and pretty inexpensive to repair. Like I said it's still like new.

Jay P on March 15, 2021

260000 and still counting.

The vehicle self is great. A lot of room all the seat behind the driver and passenger she can be folded and Meath the base for room to move things. Still drive straight. I currently have over 260000 miles on the car. Cannot wait to get the upgraded version.

Mishal D on March 9, 2021

Our family's primary vehicle.

Our vehicle is quite reliable. There have been a few times when it will not start. It needs some time to get the gas flowing before it will start. It is a relatively comfortable vehicle with an excellent cooling and heating system as well as an entertainment center for the passengers riding in the back. I like the fact that all the windows roll down or open in the back. The biggest con to this vehicle is the gas mileage. It can sometimes be expensive to take a road trip if the gas prices are high.

beverly c on March 7, 2021

She is great for family or disabled person. Easy to drive in traffic. Easy to park. Good gas mileage.

I call her Jane. Plain Jane, no bells, no whistles, but she has great a/c in summer, and she gets me where I need to go. She drives and rides nicely. Her major woohoo is stow n go seats.

Janice L on March 2, 2021

Larger capacity and seats fold down and away.

It is a little difficult to see out windows because of the high back of seat and the headrest. I always have someone checking on traffic for me when pulling out parking etc. Drives smoothly, easy to operate. The rear is spacious for loading furniture etc.

Roxana L on February 27, 2021

Practical car for busy families with young children.

Very spacious, seats can fold down for even more space. Safe and reliable. Plenty of legroom. Seats are comfortable. I really like that the doors are automatic. It helps tremendously when my hands are full. Also, the start button is great! The car warms up and is nice and toasty when we are ready to get are day started. Overall, great car!

Gina W on February 24, 2021

Great vehicle for growing families!

I love this minivan! It can transport 7 people and has lots of storage space. The stow and go storage really helps when we go on vacations. You get decent mileage economy on the highway but everyday city driving the mpg is low. The seats are very comfortable but the headrests are not. We bought this vehicle new and have certainly gotten our use and enjoyment out of it!

Jessica D on February 24, 2021

Most family friendly but still versatile vehicle out there!

I love that the doors slide instead of swinging, since we have lots of kids; no bashing the vehicles next to us! I also love that I can remotely open the doors so if it is raining or I am in a hurry the kids can start loading up while I put whatever stuff we have in the back. The foldaway seats turn it into basically a truck in a snap! It is also great that the floors are flat and not too low because I have used them as a changing table more times than I can count. It is roomy enough to change in, and we've even put the seats down and slept back there when camping! It is not too bad on gas and really comfy for long car rides.

Kayla B on February 18, 2021

The middle console can be slid from the driver's seats to the second row seats!

Love it!! Love the hidden storage!! The door features are great for the kids! It is roomy and very kid friendly!! I do wish the trunk was unlocked by a hands free sensor!! I also wished I could change the color of the inside lighting!! I love how easy it is to remove seats or fold them up!

Brian W on February 13, 2021

2010 dodge grand caravan is good.

Very reliable and great on gas mileage. Had it for 10 years and no major problems. The 3 rows of seating make it very roomy and comfortable. Plenty of room in the trunk. Would definitely buy it again. Have no problems with it in the snow or rain .

Sorena M on February 5, 2021

2010 dodge caravan family car.

The car has lasted a really long time. After the 100,000 mark the car's DVD player quit and every year we were changing the brake pads, but overall there has really been no major problems considering the age of the vehicle. The option to lay the seats down all the way for the cargo option is one of our favorite features.

Darlene B on February 3, 2021

Vacation friendly vehicle

I really like the stow and go feature of my dodge caravan. I can safely get around with my all my grandchildren and still have room to shop. I can fold the seats down to make it possible to haul anything that can fit inside. We can also go on vacation with everyone and put all our luggage on top.

McKenzie B on February 2, 2021

Do not recommend, unpleasant.

Jill H on January 27, 2021

Dodge Grand Caravan: unreliable

This car has had more problems than I would like to mention. The main one is that occasionally the car won't start even with a new battery. I find myself stranded with no warning. The video system has stopped working. The breaks have to be replaced quite often. I like how it looks and the comfort of driving it but it is now reliable

Maurice A on January 24, 2021

Family friendly vehicle that works for you

Love that the seats fold down into the floor. Love that it has plenty of seating for our family. Wish it got better gas mileage but it's not too bad.

Stormy M on January 23, 2021

Great family vehicle and great for moving things when you need to

Plenty of room. Fold n go seating is fantastic and easy. Easy to work on yourself for maintenance. Transmission will need to be reworked or replaced every few years.

Mikhala L on January 23, 2021

Great sized family car, seats seven people.

It is great although it does take a little longer than I would like to accelerate and brake. It rides smoothly and is a good size family car. It seats seven people which is more than enough room for my family. Although the trunk is not that big, it is pretty deep.

Ann M on January 21, 2021

Comfortable ride for everyone on road trips with plenty of room to relax.

I love being able to carry my kids & their friends to all their events. The sto & go storage in the floor is great for hiding items when traveling, or even for hiding Santa gifts!

Amanda B on January 21, 2021

2010 dodge caravan se durable and comfortable for large families.

Dodge caravan is decent although I am having electrical issues. My heat does not kick on and the car occasionally stalls. It handles well on the road and is slightly mediocre on gas. I have a family of 5 and it definitely fits us and has a lot of storage compartments so I can move things rather easily. The kids love it and I enjoy the fact that they are separated and it made everything more peaceful whilst driving. It is also easy to get in and out of.

Dusty C on January 20, 2021

Extra cargo space with lots of room seats 7 people.

Todd S on January 19, 2021

Dependable vehicle! Space for a growing family with lots of storage space.

Great family vehicle. Like the fact seats can fold under the floorboard for easy storage space and travel. Comfortable seating for the taller person. Do not like that there is no access to transmission fluid and have to shell out a lot of money to drain and replace it with a shop. Overall great vehicle.

Christy R on January 15, 2021

Family friendly, if you have kids or elderly members of your family it makes things a lot easier when traveling!

Very comfortable, tons of nice features for my children and very reliable! We like the two tv's it offers for my children to watch during long car rides!

Sarah M on January 7, 2021

It is great at carrying a lot of people and things.

It is a perfectly functional vehicle; however, it lacks advanced features. We chose the base model to save money and it works for our family, but I do wish it had power sliding doors. The plastic frame along the bottom of the driver's seat has started cracking and there is a small tear along the outer seam.

Nikki C on January 7, 2021

It has a lot of power but does have an eco friendly mode which saves you money.

It's pretty comfortable to drive in. I love the fact that the seats all gold down, I don't have to remove them. I can get my entire family in it which is amazing. My vehicle is 9 years old now and there are some issues. There is a lot of 'plastic' type parts that need to be fixed because they are easy to break. I have had 1 major issue and was told it's pretty common in grand caravans. The coolant hose broke and my engine started smoking. It was an easy fix, costly though.

Ammi M on January 6, 2021

Dodge grand caravan great car. Really economic, very spacious and comfortable.

My dodge grand caravan 2010 is a really good car. It rides smooth, it's great on gas, it's very comfortable and spacious, my child loves the car also. It has a slight electrical problem but it does not stop my car from getting me where I need to go and back home with a/c. The electrical problems do not affect my car at all.

Numa K on December 30, 2020

It is a great and big car, very spacious and comfortable.

The muffler is very low to the ground, so we avoid having people sit in the back so that the muffler does not hit the ground while driving. It is very comfortable, but sometimes the wheelchairs in the middle hit our legs while sitting in the back of the car.

Regina G on December 28, 2020

I have a short and my tail light doesn't work. I keep replacing and it keeps going out.

I live in my van and it the kid's taxi.

This is actually my third Dodge grand caravan, I love the spacious feeling no matter how many people or dogs are in it and it drives absolutely great. And I can fit a lot of stuff in it.

A great family vehicle for trips.

We've put 100,000 miles on this car since 2012. We have never had any issues with this van. It seats 7, comfortably. The stow-and-go is the best part of the car. Going on trips, we can fit luggage in the stow-and-go and access it at any time during the trip. Seats in the back, too, go down easily.

Great vehicle for a busy mom with kids!

I have 4 girls. I am a busy mom that spends a lot of time in the car! The Dodge grand caravan gives my girls lots of room and comfort. We're able to go on long trips and have everything fit perfectly. I love the stow and go seating! It has extra storage space when the seats are up. We are able to get around easily and comfortably and we haven't had any problems with it.

Has tv and great sound. Big and spacious.

It is been have starter problems. The steering wheel axle went out had to replace it for 3000. You can hear the air flowing through the van. Not very insulated. The lights on the control panel where you see what you have air on is not all working. Some buttons have no light. Cannot see at night what you are pushing.
