IT WOULD NORMALLY START BACK UP AND HAVE NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE DON'T FILL UP AND HIT THE ROAD. WE DRIVE AROUND BEFORE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ONCE, IT DIED IN FRONT OF SEVERAL CARS AND A BIG TRUCK HAD TO BRAKE HARD AND SWERVE OFF THE ROAD. SO FAR, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY KNOWN ACCIDENTS BUT FEEL IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH A VALVE IN GAS TANK AND THAT YOU CAN'T BUY THE PART.

IT TAKES A FEW TURNS OF THE KEY AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL VERY QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE HABIT OF DRIVING THE VAN AROUND A PARKING LOT FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL IT FEELS BACK TO NORMAL BEFORE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, AS I'M CONCERNED IT WILL STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS ONLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. IT CONCERNS ME NOW MORE THAN EVER SINCE MY SON IS LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE AND I WANT HIM TO BE SAFE. *TR

I love getting into my minivan every day! It's so reliable, comfortable, and it looks great. I honestly believe that the Dodge Caravan is the best van on the market today!
-
We're so happy with our van! It's always our go-to vehicle whenever we go anywhere, and it fits all of us comfortably.
-
I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to share my experience with my all wheel drive caravan. I absolutely love it! It performs amazingly well on snow, which is a huge plus. I've owned caravans in the past, but this is my first all wheel drive and I can't say enough good things about it.

I bought my first Grand Caravan in 1996, brand new. After owning an Expedition EB SUV, I decided to switch back to the Grand Caravan due to the convenience it offers for my family of five, with three kids aged 6, 8, and 10. The power doors and liftgate are easy to use and provide a safe environment for my children. I can now park in the garage without worrying about my second car getting dinged up from the kids opening the doors too wide. Although we test drove the 04 Sienna, we were shocked by the nearly $7,000 higher price tag. We decided to purchase the Grand Caravan and used the $7,000 savings to treat our family to a 7-night Disney cruise to the Caribbean. It was an amazing experience for all of us!
-
I can tell you love your Caravan! With three kids and a dog, you need a vehicle that can handle anything. This van has proven to be versatile, reliable, and high-performing when it comes to hauling your RV. It sounds like you made a great choice!
