2014 Dodge Grand Caravan Review: Outdated & Basic Minivan With Average Reliability

Alex Showalter

Oct 4, 2022

The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan lasts around 200,000 miles with some average engine and A/C problems. At $10,475 to $11,350, it’s cheaper than other minivans, but ownership costs get higher as it gets older.

The Good

Passenger room is excellent, its stow ‘n go seats are fantastic for cargo space and the V6 engine makes good power.

The Bad

Technology is outdated for its age, suspension is firm on the R/T model and the engine is noisy.

Is the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan a Good Used Minivan?

Overall Rating 6/10 – 2014 is an average year for the Grand Caravan, giving it an okay overall rating which is still below other minivans. Owner reviews praise the folding seats, V6 engine, and storage space.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo 6/10 – Interior materials are very cheap in the Grand Caravan, its seats are reasonably comfortable, and cargo space is fantastic.
Reliability 6/10 – There are some improvements on the 2014 Grand Caravan from older models, but it’s still not great. Avoid models from 2008–2013 which have engine issues. We recommend going with a 2014-2020 which are more reliable.
Performance 7/10 – Performance is good from the standard V6 engine for a minivan, however, it’s still boring to drive.
Safety 7/10 – The 2014 Grand Caravan is reasonably safe, earning a 4-star overall rating in government crash tests. Optional safety technology includes blind spot monitoring, cross traffic sensors, along with a rearview camera.
Gas Mileage 7/10 – Fuel economy is okay at up to 20 MPG giving owners 400 miles of range from the 20 gallon tank. Gas prices are $14 lower than average at $242 per month.
Value 6/10 – The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan is cheaper than a lot of other minivans, but depreciation is also worse than average.

Lucille W

This large caravan handles well for the size and roomy/comfortable, plenty of room for passengers

Stow and go allows lots of packing room for extended vacation wish it could have a handle above front passenger door

Danielle H

Perfect for a large family.

My favorite feature is the stow and go seating and the power doors. When trying to load kids and groceries in the car in bad weather the power doors are very handy. It is the perfect size for our family of 6. Our only issue is the belt fit in the 3rd row. It runs great and we have had no mechanical issues.

Kelly S

Comfortable and convenient.

Love the stow and go seats. It really adds a huge amount of space to the van. I have helped move people's belongings, and even put furniture purchases in the back. I also love the sliding doors on both sides of the van. So very convenient. This van is very spacious and would be very comfortable for long trips.

Andrew L

It is red and beautiful I love it.

There is nothing wrong with my van! The newer the better. It is great it fits my family of 7 with a new baby on the way. It rides smooth I love my card own side my radio do not work but minor things are always need to be fixed. Nothing new with owning your vehicle.

Erin L

It is a great family vehicle! Works so well for having small children!

I love all the features and it is great for 3 kids. Using buttons for the doors is the best feature in a van!!

Deborah V

I love the three rows so much

I love my vehicle. It's very roomy and I have 2 kids, and plan to have another so I knew having 3 rows would be best. It drives super smooth and the vehicle all around has been a wonderful experience! I recommend it for bigger families or just someone that wants more room!

Trevor C

Our dodge caravan how it's family friendly it is also good for trips and moving.

It is a 2014 dodge grand caravan it is a minivan that fits about 6 to 8 people it performs well with very few problems. It is a very reliable van. The comfort is great Has good a/c an am/FM stereo with CD deck. It has power steering and is an automatic gear system. Great for taking the whole family on vacation with and it is red in color. Can carry a lot of stuff if you take down some of the seats.

Kat M

It has the space needed for a family with children.

I love that I can easily fit all 3 of my kids and everyone has plenty of legroom. I also LOVE the remote key that can open all the doors with a push of a button. Lastly, I love how smoothly it rides.

Negative Owner Reviews

Scott

We bought a lemon!!!

Dealing with FCA and the Dodge dealer has been a nightmare. The worst costumer service I’ve ever experienced. We’ve had major mechanical problems off and on, right from the start. I will never buy another dodge again!

Lori E

It's nothing fancy but it's big enough to carry around a big stroller and all your kid's stuff.

Not super comfortable. I bought the basic model. I wish it handled better. I wish the gas mileage was better.

Michelle M

You get what you pay for!

There are not enough car seat tethers. Everything is cheaply made. A cup holder broke within a month of owning the vehicle. Cosmetic parts of the car are just cheaply made and easily break. The engine runs fine, but the cosmetic parts are just easy to break. The protective covering of the door wires broke within a year. Weathering strip of on the door came off within a year.

Katie E

Drawer under front console.

Good gas mileage has keyless entry and automation doors cool air conditioner. Has stow and go seats and a large space in back when seats are up. A lot of storage underneath when seats are up. Electric driver seat. Ten or more buttons on steering wheel. Cup holder indoors.

Susan F

Not the best on the market, but reliable.

I inherited this car and it is very plain. No bells and whistles. No air vents in the back. As far as performance, the car had never given me any trouble. It is reliable and rides ok. Not top of the line, but it is reliable. It does not have a backup camera. When in reverse, it makes a very loud obnoxious beeping sound.

Amanda M

Don't buy grand caravan. Chrysler doesn't seem to care about making a quality dependable vehicle.

It has required more work and had more issues than my husbands 2000 odyssey with 260,000 miles and counting on it.

Jennifer C

The van we couldn't seem to fix.

We have an air conditioner that blows out hot air and the heat blows out cold air sometimes. There have been some other problems with this vehicle. We have a bigger family anyway, so plan on getting something bigger to ride in. To me it does not have enough power for going up hills when we used to travel.

Greta C

I am not a fan. The seating is not ideal for my family.

I am not a fan of this van, but I was between a rock and hard place when I bought it. It drives like a tank, very heavy and sluggish. Sometimes shifting can be rough. The seating arrangement is not ideal and none of the windows, except the two front ones, open. My kids get really hot and stuffy.

What Do Critics Say About the Dodge Grand Caravan?

Consumer Reports says the Grand Caravan is dated and past its prime with low owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the Grand Caravan a 3.9/5 praising the affordable pricing, but doesn’t like the limited driver legroom.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Grand Caravan 3.8/5 enjoying the passenger room, but owners don’t like the boring driving experience.

What Common Problems Does the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan Have?

Common problems with the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan include the engine dying while driving, A/C blowing hot air on the passenger side, as well as rough shifting between gears. Overall, the problems are slightly worse than average with repair costs that are higher as well.

The engine dying while driving is a common complaint in the first 70,000 miles. There are two main sources to the problem including a failing alternator, as well as computer issues with the totally integrated power module (TIPM). Changing out the alternator costs around $400. A TIPM replacement is more expensive, costing around $1,200.

Air conditioning blowing hot on the passenger side is also reported by owners at around 50,000 miles. The main source of the problem is a broken blend door actuator, which has to be replaced. Changing out the blend door actuator cost around $450 since it’s labor intensive.

Shifting roughly between gears is another issue brought up by some owners at around 40,000 miles. There are a lot of sources of the problem. They include a transmission control module which needs to be reset for around $100, replacing parts costing roughly $850, or a complete transmission failure which costs $4,000.

There are 4 average recalls on the 2014 Grand Caravan. None of the recalls are mechanically serious. The most important recall covers the tire pressure monitoring module, which needs to be reprogrammed.

How Long Will the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan Last?

A well-maintained 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan should last around 200,000 miles, which is around 100,000 miles less than the top-rated Toyota Sienna. Regular annual maintenance costs are higher than average, according to data provided by Repair Pal, at $651 per year.

Since nearly all 2014 Grand Caravan models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace the ignition coil for $200, A/C evaporator costing $900, along with the timing chain and gear set which costs $1,000.

Vivian G

There are no problems. Runs smoothly, very reliable. Great for long trips or short trips even to grandma's house.

E. S

No. I have not had any problems so far. Runs great, goes in for oil change every 6000 miles and get a good check up always.

Shane H

Yes! It is very reliable. Perfect fit for a full family to travel. Whether we'r e going somewhere down the road from where we live or traveling to another state hours away. We hardly have any problems with our vehicle.

Gary L

No issues whatsoever. Had it for 4 years and only needed to replace the brakes. Currently have over 110,000 miles and not once had any breakdowns or issues. Only thing I do not like is the eco button for fuel saving. For me when on, it seems to lag a little and may be an issue trying to get into heavy traffic quickly.

Belinda N

The only problem we have had is the transmission. Other than that everything is pretty good. I feel safe in it and do not feel like it will breakdown every 2 seconds.

S S

Yes the battery be dying and stuff but I am working on getting fixed but other than that is it's reliable and usable.

Josh D

No problem with the dodge in this department either. Wife drives the kids to school everyday and picks them up everyday. We go see my parents on the weekends which is a hundred miles round trip. Not one issue has come up it. So yeah I say it is pretty reliable!

Erica P

The only problem we have had is with a piece of exterior trim coming off and now, at 125k miles, we need to get the thermostat replaced.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is basic in the 2014 Grand Caravan with an optional 6.5-inch touchscreen available. Safety technology is average for a minivan its age offering optional blind spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera.

Is the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan a Good Value?

No, the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan is not a good value. Blue book prices range from $10,525 to $11,400, making it cheaper than a Honda Odyssey or Chrysler Town & Country. When new, the price range was $20,895 to $29,995. Depreciation is worse than average, losing about 12% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Dodge Grand Caravan?

There are four models of the Grand Caravan available for 2014 from the base American Value Package all the way up to the fully-loaded R/T.

What Engines Come In the Dodge Grand Caravan?

The engine found in the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan is a strong 3.6L V6 which makes 283 horsepower while getting up to 20 MPG. Performance is average, taking 8 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Dodge Grand Caravan Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Dodge Grand Caravan?

The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan is a comfortable minivan with seating for up to 8, although it’s not as nice as some of the other competitors on the market. The seats are well-made and the optional captain’s chairs for the second row are nice for its price.

Passenger space is excellent throughout the cabin, with enough room to easily fit adults in all three rows.

How Much Storage Space Does the Dodge Grand Caravan Have?

Cargo space is fantastic in the 2014 Grand Caravan, with enough room for 5-6 suitcases behind the third row, 14-15 with the third row folded flat, and well over 20 suitcases with all the seats down.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The fifth generation of the Dodge Grand Caravan was introduced in 2008, and retired after 2020 due to declining sales.

2012: New models including low-price American Value Package.

2013: Blu-ray entertainment system, stow ‘n go seats renamed super stow ‘n go.

2014: Crew model discontinued.

2015: 17-Inch wheels standard, power adjustable pedals discontinued.

2016: No major changes.

2017: Several models removed, standard touchscreen and rearview camera on all.

2018: No major changes.

How Does the Dodge Grand Caravan Compare to the Competition?

The Dodge Grand Caravan is a basic minivan built to be a budget-friendly option. It’s not the best van on the market, but if you’re looking to save some money on the purchase price then it’s a reasonable choice.

The Toyota Sienna is another minivan which costs around $4,000 more. Reliability ratings are better in the Toyota Sienna, while the stow ‘n go seats in the Grand Caravan are more convenient for cargo. We recommend the Toyota Sienna since they last longer with lower ownership costs.

The Honda Odyssey is a competitor costing about $3,000 more. Technology is much better in the Honda Odyssey, although owners report the seats are more comfortable in the Dodge Grand Caravan. We recommend the Honda Odyssey since it’s a more modern minivan which lasts longer.

2014 Dodge Grand Caravan

I have had my 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan since the day it was delivered to the dealership with 0 miles, and it now has 335,722 miles and has traveled to many states. The only thing I had to replace so far minus the tires, brakes, and oil is my alternator; otherwise, everything else has been great if taken care of properly. I wash underneath the hood at least 1-2 times to keep it clean. My father is a mechanic and has advised ushisto maintain a vehicle longer than a dealership willever tell you.

Kristina W on June 25, 2021

Minivans have many great features.

It has tons of storage space, captains seats, a DVD player, tinted windows, automatic locks, and automated doors and trunk. It also has a backup camera and great gas mileage. Our van drives smooth, and we have not had any. Problems. The only thing we have done since buying it is oil and tire changes.

Joshua G on June 25, 2021

Good not great value dodge grand caravan.

Performance and comfort was great up until about 120k then things started to really go down hill. I think this a great minivan to lease or keep for 5 years but it does not last or hold its value very well. Gas mileage is great however especially on the highway.

chet G on June 25, 2021

Just all around great. I wouldn't want a pick up.

The gas pedal is a little too sensitive. Braking and steering are great. I just love it and will buy another when this one wears out. It has been really stable in ice and snow. The seats are easy to put up and down so that makes it really easy. There is plenty of power, I can easily squeal the tires at any stop sign.

Katie E on June 22, 2021

Drawer under front console.

KaSandra C on June 13, 2021

It seats myself and my 4 kids seats go into the floor if needed.

Engine is amazing. I bought it used at 90k miles it is now at 160k air bag light has come on and gas caps won't stay sealed in hot months so I have had to replace the gas cap at least 6 times in the last 4 years. Other than that just your basic wear and tear.

Angela D on May 14, 2021

Lots of seats and storage space. Stow and go seats.

It does have a lot of perks, DVD player, third row seating, bucket seat, stow and go, good on gas. However, it seems like every couple months something goes wrong, the plastic to protect the wire on the door broke off, the DVD stopped working, a tail light, airbag light and more.

Carole W on May 7, 2021

Best features is the cheap flex fuel gas and the stow away seat for transporting.

Me and my kids love this vehicle so far. We did have one fuel pump issue but it was resolved with my warranty. The best part is the flex fuel it saves me so much money on gas. It is very spacious and my kids are able to get in and out of the rear. I love that all seats fold completely into the floor if you are transporting a couch or furniture.

Apryl E on April 25, 2021

Black dodge grand caravan stow and go feature seats up to 7 comfortably.

This vehicle is perfect for our family of 6. There is enough room for everyone to travel comfortably. There is a DVD player to help keep our kids entertained on our long trips. The sto and go seats are amazing and make it easy to pack things for our long trip giving us so much extra room. The only thing we do not like about our van is the way it drives in the bad winters we have here. We are constantly getting stuck which is not good with our 4 kids.

Catherine C on April 23, 2021

Flexible functional comfort.

Love the stow and go seats. We use this van for our daily driver and for weekend getaways with our camping gear and fold-up mattress. It is comfortable and spacious. The power doors are nice. Gas mileage is pretty good. We'd love it more if it were AWD, but we have another vehicle for snow. We'd certainly buy another one!

Naomi N on April 18, 2021

Air con, last long when need, ran great on freeway.

Van last 5 years before needed repairs for major parts, did tires, oils br as kes as needed, ran well, big and comfortable for dog kids shopping..When purchase miles was in the 80000 now it's 120000 and still does well. Air con inside ran well thought out 5 years thru Las Vegas heat. Never had problems.

Sydney W on April 10, 2021

Grand caravan is an all around great car.

Not any major problems to note. The car runs great, is comfortable to drive, and has plenty of room. Good traction. Stow and go seats are very easy to put up and down. Tons of cup holders and storage places. Plenty of places to plug in a device. Dash displays are nice and clear and easy to read.

Mike N on April 4, 2021

My new dodge grand caravan.

I have not had my vehicle for long, however, I am very happy with it, am having through transmission problems, did also have an oil leak that needed to be fixed, also one of the sto and go seats was not working that I was able to fix on my own and wasn't that hard.

Tara T on April 4, 2021

I would get a nicer model.

We experienced a few small mechanical issues at around 30k miles. They were inexpensive issues to fix. I do sometimes wish that we had gotten a nicer model. It would be great to have h the sliding doors and backup camera. We did end up adding an aftermarket backup camera but it does not look as sleek as a built in camera world. The interior of the van is all black, which I usually love but there are times when it seems kind of cave like. When I am driving and trying to keep an eye on my rear-facing babies in their car seats, I cannot always see their faces because of how dark the interior can be. That being said, they take great naps in it.

Jessica C on April 2, 2021

Great family car with great safety features.

We had a transmission issue under warranty at 40, 000 miles that we didn't have a car for a week. We love having the TV for the kids. The seats are great and it is a an amazing car for a family. Love stow and go seating! We can have 4 car seats and the anchors are awesome on the seats for extra safety.

Jessica W on April 2, 2021

Review for 2014 dodge grand caravan.

2014 dodge grand caravan is a good vehicle. Although, we have only had the van for almost 15 months, we have replaced the ac compressor, half shaft axle, some plate that broke, wiring to the driver's seat, and it looks as though the piece to keep the spare tire in has fallen off. There are a couple of cosmetic purses that has broken from inside the vehicle also, not big pieces though. It has a DVD player with a small TV that everyone can watch. It has half 'leather' and cloth seats, cruise control, electric seats, side doors, and trunk. Lots of space, seats 7 but we need more because we have too many kids. But I will not be buying dodge in the future.

Erin L on March 31, 2021

It is a great family vehicle! Works so well for having small children!

I love all the features and it is great for 3 kids. Using buttons for the doors is the best feature in a van!!

Stephanie S on March 29, 2021

Affordable vehicle for large families.

It's a pretty basic minivan, it doesn't have any bells or whistles. I wish there was a TV screen for my kids in back, but we bought it because of the captains chairs that are good for our twins and it fits our family of 5. We have had the car nearly 4 years now and I haven't had any issues with it yet and I like that its a more boxy design, makes me feel more modern somehow.

Nancy R on March 26, 2021

Very easy to maintain and very comfortable to travel in with all the room.

Best car we have ever had. Very comfortable. . Great gas mileage. . . Low maintenance. The van is very easy to drive, very easy to take care of and rides like a dream, we love the room it has because we like to have our grandkids with us as much as possible.

Angela L on March 23, 2021

The automatic doors opening are great for kids and groceries!

I love this vehicle. Great gas mileage, automatic windows and doors, comfortable for the whole family on long trips. The seats fold down into the floor making it convenient to haul large items. I don't have anything bad to say about my purchase. It rides like a charm.

Debbie M on March 23, 2021

The grand(mother's) caravan.

For the most part the grand caravan has been reliable. The driver's side window went out. The fan. Motor for climate knocks. The low tire sensor stay on. Other than that it is been a good vehicle. A word of warning. This vehicle is very hard for me to park pulling into a parking space for some reason. As crazy as it sounds I can back into spaces using my mirrors with no problems. We use our van to haul around 5 grand children and ministry items. It is awesome for this. Fairly good gas mileage and it is been reliable.

Robin K on March 22, 2021

Reliability and great performance.

In the four years since we purchased the Dodge grand caravan we have not experienced any problems or performance issues. It has been a very reliable vehicle. It has been of the utmost comfort when we have taken it on personal trips. From the comfort of the black leather seats to the comfort level of the a/c and heater units. The only thing missing is a GPS system, for one that isn't good at reading a map, that is a major down fall.

Thomas M on March 20, 2021

It is a very reliable vehicle.

I have never had any problems with this van. The gas mileage is pretty good too. Also it looks good.

Cassie K on March 19, 2021

A lot of room, storage space, comfortable.

We needed a better van then the one we had since we became a family of 5, we looked around at a lot of other vans but fell in love with this one because it had stow and go, captain seats in the middle which makes it easier for our 2 oldest kids to get to their seats, and it has a big hatch space! Having this van made it so much easier when we moved houses because we just folded all the seats down and away we went. Everyone is comfortable when going on trips and we have storage space to put all of our stuff. We don't have a DVD player or back up camera which was a few extra things that we wanted but all around it's been an amazing van!

Kelly H on March 16, 2021

Drives like a car even though it is a minivan

Good performance. I have had typical repairs such as new brakes and battery, along with tires. It has a small oil leak which I will have to address. I have had no major problems. It drives well in rain and snow. It also has good pick up and gets decent gas mileage.

Timothy A on March 15, 2021

Great minivan that I would recommend to anyone that has kids.

No problems. Very dependable. Easy to clean and maintain. Always change oil on time. Very comfortable sitting 7 people easily. Great head and leg no problems. Very dependable. Easy to clean and maintain. Always change oil on time. Very comfortable sitting 7 people easily. Great head and leg room.

Rebecca R on March 14, 2021

Powerful, spacious family vehicle!

I have had my grand caravan for about a year now. The things I love about it is the power, the easy fold down seats, and the backup camera. This van packs power with its v6. I never have to worry about getting up to speed going up a hill, or getting outta tight spots. It accelerates very smoothly and loves to just cruise! I have 2 kids and a dog and I can fold the seats down to accommodate a kennel, or leave them up when kids from various teams needs rides. It seats 7, and has a DVD player so the kids do not mind longer road trips. My 13 year old son just sits in the back and we fold down one of the stow and go seats and voila! He has all the leg room he needs! There is a power port section in the back so they can charge the Idevices, and I can use it for anything I need. We go camping quite often so all the storage room is nice. Not to mention the power back hatch and side doors, allowing me to open the doors with full hands and stow away groceries. This has been my favorite vehicle so far, and I hope it lasts a very long time. It is amazing for my outgoing, adventurous family!

Rose C on March 14, 2021

It's a great size, and the technology inside is incredibly easy to use and handy. It has a great amount of compartments, and works amazing for my family of 7!

It has an abundance of room and compartments, perfect for a large family.

Julie H on March 11, 2021

Dodge grand caravan review.

It is very comfortable, we have used it to travel the country and for the most part it has been very reliable, it is spacious, and has stow and go seats for storage. However there have been mechanical issues since purchasing the vehicle new, and we have had to have a lot of work done on it.

Sam B on March 3, 2021

It is a great family car for trips.

There are not really any big problems. The drivers side seat is cracked. The flywheel cracked about a year ago so that was a pretty expensive fix on the car but it was done in two days. The car has been pretty reliable and has great cargo space and it has a smooth ride.

Robert A on March 3, 2021

2014 Dodge Grand caravan se

It's a good vehicle for the family with plenty of storage. Rear stow and go really helps when needing to haul small items like clothes or dressers and still needing to bring kids along. The kids love it and it's comfortable all the way around. There is great performance in horse power and the echo boost really helps on highway driving.

lori w on February 28, 2021

It's a great car to have and drive around

I love my van , I can get at least 10 people in my van

John K on February 28, 2021

Dodge van is great. Two thumbs up.

Basic and boring minivan. There is not a lot to say about it. We move all of our kids with it and it is a great family car. I would definitely recommend. If I was to buy another minivan it would definitely be a dodge. I have never owned a dodge prior to this but would consider them first for another car.

Marisol B on February 26, 2021

My vehicle review for the dodge grand caravan.

Never gives problems. Runs like new all the time. But seems small inside and that makes it uncomfortable. The DVD player is not working and that is small not important. I wish it had leather seats instead of cloth. The bucket seats are very useful to hold a lot.

Phil R on February 26, 2021

Lots of Bang for your Buck

Great value for the money. Stow and go is great for carrying things around. Can easily convert from passengers to hauling stuff. Safe and reliable van. The 30th anniversary edition is a nice trim package. We have traveled all around the US in this Minivan. Great vehicle for families.

Stefanie D on February 25, 2021

It's very comfortable and great for families. Tons of room and storage!

It's easy to drive, love the power doors and the DVD player!

Dodge grand caravan is comfortable and flexible.

The dodge grand caravan is so flexible! I love the stow and go features. I love the fact that I can transport 6 people plus driver very comfortably, or I can change the configuration to put one third or two thirds of the back seat down, all the back seat down, or even take the middle seats out to give me a ton of room in the back to haul things. It is a very comfortable and versatile vehicle.

Convenient and lots of room.

I love this grand caravan. It is very convenient to have doors on both sides that open automatically. I also like that the doors also have windows that go up and down. The stow and go seats are awesome! When down, I can move furniture or lots of boxes with this van.

It has been very dependable with no major problems.

The Dodge Caravan that I drive is very roomy and comfortable. It has stow and go seats that make it possible to haul lots of sports equipment. I do wish it had a back-up camera.

Sporty, comfortable and very reliable family vehicle!

It is a nice, roomy vehicle. The stow and go adds lots of extra storage which is really great for families!

So much space! Stow and go is a must have for traveling families as well as the DVD players

Love the space and storage! DVD players are great. Holds our rather large family comfortably

Very spacious, smooth ride.

Love the space of my grand caravan. The only thing that has caused problems is it seems that Dodge makes the parts difficult to get to if you need to repair something. My husband even struggles when changing the oil because of the placements of the bolts and such. Other than that, I definitely love my van!

A good van for a busy family.

It is a great family car. The stow and go seating is really helpful when moving big pieces or just needing more space for cargo. However, only having one latch system in the back bench and being off center makes it difficult to seat passengers when a car seat is installed.

Very comfortable for everyone!

Very comfortable. Lots of space for the kids. Seat fold into the floor which makes it easier to haul stuff. Taken it on several long trips and everyone was very comfortable. Never thought I would wa to own a minivan but this one has been great. I love it.

Easy access for physically disabled.

My grand caravan has plenty of room for my needs. The middle of seats are easy for me to stow and put back up by myself to create cargo space and still have the back seat available for passengers. I often transport a friend who uses a wheelchair. My husband is handicapped also and finds my vehicles to be the only one that he is able to get in and out of... Even SUVs!

This van is very spacious and comfortable. Lots of legroom!

It is a very spacious van. The seats are able to be pushed down into the vehicle to make even more room. I do not like the black interior, it shows all lint and is difficult to clean. The seats are comfortable and there is a lot of legroom in the back. My husband does not feel like there is a lot of legroom in the front.

Seating versatility makes the Dodge Grand Caravan a good choice for families.

The stow and go seating in my van makes it easy to change the layout of the van based on what or who I need to haul. It has enough amenities to make it fun to drive. The only thing I'm not fond of is the interior is black and it shows sand all the time.

My van has seats that fold into the floor

I love my dodge grand caravan. What I love most is the fold down seats. This makes it very convenient to haul things. Great van!!!

Grand Caravans are the most versatile vehicles around.

No problems. Excellent company to work with. Great on space and gas mileage. Feels like a luxury car minus the luxury car price. Love the collapsible seats. It makes it easy to convert into a modified pick up truck. Able to haul a dull sheet of plywood ad 10 ft studs.

Love and hate relationships.

Need a lot of work on the mounts transmission mount and engine mount. Doesn't eat a lot of gas but always needs to go to the mechanic because of engine and transmission work. Its reliable and roomy and it's a smooth drive but it for its value a Toyota van well be a better option.

It has convenient stow and go seating. It operates well. It has very good sound quality. It does not get very good gas mileage.

I like that it is long enough to fit our tandem bicycle in. I also like the stow and go seating. However, the seat is not very comfortable. The gas mileage is not as good as I expected.
