Dodge Grand Caravan (1991 - 1995) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I paid a very fair price for it, thanks to R & J Mobility in Independence, OR. For a Dodge Grand Caravan of this vintage, it is a lot better than most, especially given its high mileage. Still, there are the ongoing annoyances of the failing conversion components installed by Braun Entervan, a driver's power window that intermittently fails unpredictably, and Dodge's/Chrysler's typically weak headlights of this vintage, but these ongoing aggravations have not kept me from using it as a daily driver and driving it on long road trips (4k - 6k+ miles) with up to 30 mpg, depending on the quality of the fuel.

My Grand Caravan LE AWD has just a hair over 213,000 miles on it. With the exception of a blown head gasket, I have never had anything major go wrong with this van. Drives well and still gets 18mpg on the highway. Not bad for All Wheel Drive I guess. I am having problems locating parts for this particular vehicle though. Seems as though there were not many of these AWD LE's built to begin with and there are fewer and fewer of them still on the road.Dec 25, 2010

Another vehicle owned by the Collords, purchased new. It was silver with a gray cloth interior. It had power mirrors, cruise control, tilt steering column, and a nice sound system, but no power windows or locks. It even had second row captain's chairs, which were very comfortable. Shortly after they purchased it, the transmission went, and it was replaced free of charge, but after that, the van gave them no major problems. It did have some interesting electrical problems that lead to us affectionately naming it the "Haunted Caravan". One such example was the dome light that would go on and off when we hit a bump, and was usually joined by a dinging noise. The display on the radio would also fade in and out. This problem was eventually fixed. A really annoying problem was that the rearview mirror, mounted to the windshield, would fall off quite often. For the most part, however, the van was a great vehicle. Even after the odometer hit 180,000 miles, it was still going strong, but my uncle sold it because the A/C quit in about 2005, and bought a brand new Honda Element.Aug 24, 2008

Although this powerful and spacious van started out that way, the 3.3L factory engine now has 180,000 miles on it, and considerably less "go" in it. The transmission, rebuilt at 75,000 miles, has, in the past year or so, begun slipping and behaving erratically. Overall, this is a great vehicle to have as a secondary, backup, and roadtrip vehicle.Apr 02, 2008
