that there are varying levels of reliability even within a single model. Someone else's Odyssey may be more reliable than mine, or someone else's may be worse. Replies to this message: marig0107 (Apr 21, 2007 4:34 pm)

Replying to: jchan2 (Apr 21, 2007 1:40 pm) I can agree with that. I can only go by my experience and my friends that have had them. After 9 years, I FINALLY have a functioning a/c. The belts have all been replaced and have had major engine work. After that, there was the major brakework done.   My girlfriend swore her van was awesome, had to be only mine, well guess who was picking her up off the highway cause her transmission blew? Yep, me in my clunker caravan.   Now mine leaks power steering fluid. Or rather, my husbands van.   So I am glad that you are enjoying your van. No need to get snippy on me. You lucked out, many have not. Funny how we got the caravan because it was top rated in Consumer Reports and then within another year or two, alot of their reviews on the caravan were lousy.

Replying to: marig0107 (Apr 21, 2007 5:06 am) MOST of my friends have had NO problems with their Caravan/Voyager or Town & Country. Many are repeat buyers such as my sister who now drives a 2005 GC SE because her 1986 Caravan had NO problems when she sold it to a neighbor at 170,000 miles....or Kurt who now drives a 2006 GC SXT after owning a 2000 GC LE, 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager, and a 1988 GC.      Meanwhile, enjoy your MUCH smaller CR-V.

I thought this board was dead!   Thanx I am super loving my much smaller CRV with way more cargo room and one less kid in the car to shuttle around...woohooo, teen driver, right   BTW, dh is driving around that caravan. Let's see last year was the a/c finally got fixed after the third year of repairs, last year was the brake work repair and now this year is the power steering. But I told dh he is not allowed another repair. So hopefully we'll be able to afford a used car.   And teen driver will be driving the 93 dodge shadow! How's that for keeping a car around???

How's that for keeping a car around???   The only thing that would worry me about that would be lack of safety features. I'd at least want a car with dual airbags for a new driver.
