2003 Dodge Caravan Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 2003 Dodge Caravan said goodbye to some of the 2002 trims and hello to an old friend. The eC and eL trims only lasted a year, probably because no one knew what they stood for. In the regular models, the Sport is out, but back is the Caravan C/V, which last made an appearance in 1995. The Sport trim is still available in the Grand Caravans. Engine options remain 2.4, 4-cylinder in the regular models, and 3.3 or 3.8 V6 in the Grand Caravans. Fuel economy averages 19/25.
New options in the 2003 Caravan are electroncially adjustable brake and gas pedals and an optional power sunroof on the ES. The AutoStick auto/manual transmission is no longer available as of 2003. All cars are front-wheel drive, although AWD is available in some Grand Caravan trims.
Even in the face of growing competition, Chrysler is still the big winner in the minivan market, selling over 350,000 this year, mostly thanks to its roominess, quiet ride, and affordable price. The biggest problem to look out for remains multiple repairs and transmission troubles.

I love this vehicle. It is very reliable. Can take long trips and be comfortable while riding. Very good on gas. It is a family vehicle. Has 3rd row seating. The 2nd and 3rd rows fold down and lift for more cargo room.Oct 06, 2014

its not bad with gas as long as you leave the back seats out and theres nothing heavy in the car at any time. it drives well, dont expect a lot of trouble with going down roads, stay to the state roads and you will save gas.Nov 26, 2013

Lots of space for hauling, kids, gear, dogs and stuff from the hardware store. Very comfortable ride. As a family battling cancer this is the preferred vehicle for trips to the hopsital due to the ease getting in and out and the comfort of the ride.Aug 12, 2013

The Caravan has excellent acceleration for a vehicle its size. The
seating is very comfortable. Handling is okay, but remember its a
minivan. The interior is very spacious with room for the whole
family. There are some issues with the power lift gate in the
back the gate did not want to work properly. There are some
pops with the front suspension with tight turns.Jan 11, 2013

Its a mini-van dont worry. Not fast, not cool, not cool looking... What do I do? Gotta put a sound system in it. 2 12" audiobahn subs backed by 800 watts of Alpine V-power with a Boss 625A stereo. If I keep this car someday I wanna fill the whole back with subs and LCD monitors. Aug 22, 2010

# Performance - no problems at all
# Build Quality - nothing to complain about
Appearance - great shape so far
Cost of Ownership - bit hard on gas but what you receive in comfort makes up for it
Fun Factor - fun to drive cheap to keepJan 22, 2010

What the hell, I have to put something here too? OK then, I've had it for almost 3 yrs now and only had to change the brakes, everything else is great. Good on gas for a 6 cylinder, looks good too, not like the new model Caravans that look like boxes.Oct 11, 2009

New Key / Car Doesn't Work / Theft Light
Hello, I recently lost my key to my Dodge Caravan 2003. I had to tow the car to the Dodge dealership. They cut 2 new keys and weren't able to program them as they said my car was too old for their program after trying for about 1 hour. They sent me to another guy to program the key and he did it. Seemed like everything was well until the theft light started lighting on the dashboard and now the car won't start anymore. It did start on and off for a day or two now not at all and theft light keeps coming on. We are pretty sure something happened when they programmed the key but they won't take any responsibility for it. It was a super expensive thing for us to do that as well : 500 $. Help please, any idea what could be happening...

Caravan rough idle
Why does my 2003 dodge caravan rough idle? Usually does it worse while the ac is running, idles bad enough to where it feels like it's gonna stall what could be wrong? Also why do my electrical components flicker like head light, dash ect thank you

Car died and cranks but won't fire.
No codes on scanner. Replaced fuel pimp and filter and crank sensor, but still won't fire. Coil is good, plugs are getting spark. Fuses and relays are good. Where do I look? Sprayed fuel into throttle body and car will run while fuel is present. 3.3L Flex fuel
