Thought I would post this here, as this is the most recent Chrysler/Dodge thread.
Was reading the Wheels section of the Toronto Star (Dec 5). Second-hand review of the 2011-2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. And it looks like the same problems still address the GC.
Brakes that last on average 40k, rear calipers that seize (very common on Journey)
TIPM (Totally integrated power module) that fail, over $1000 repair
Less common, cracked cylinder heads, faulty a/c, prematurely worn wheel bearings, and jerky transmissions
Also it mentioned given the biggest engine in the it's class, the GC is 1/2 second slower than the Odyssey and Sienna, and has longer braking distances as well. Worst fuel economy in the minivan category, average 12.5-13L /100km. No doubt a weight issue.
Another thing I found interesting, the Wheels second-hand review section rarely says "don't buy this vehicle used". And it did, guess they are saying better value would be a new one, with plenty of warranty... Or a competitor....
