My coworker has 114k on his, he's hung on to it longer, holding out for a 2008 Grand Caravan (since the SWB Caravans are history). I've had 3 since 1996 - 2 company provided, 1 personal. Friends and family have had many Caravans. I can not name a single person I know, who's had transmission problems. Guess some people have all the luck, and some no luck - Honda and Chrysler alike.

This doesn't explain why my wifes Honda Odyssey has so many problems. When I sit at the dealership service waiting room on many occations with other unsatisfied Honda customers, I ponder what life is going to be like when I will be spending more time with my family. Not waiting for Honda to finally fix this Lemon they call Odyssey. Honda = BAD Chrysler = GOOD. Nothing more to say

Replying to: dvsutton (Nov 28, 2007 8:06 pm) Sounds like you got a lemon. I don't blame you for being turned off both the Ody and Honda because of your experience, but you should understand that frankly you got unlucky--it does not mean that all Odys or Hondas have those problems. Hopefully I won't have the same experience. The numbers are vastly in my favor. Good luck, I hope you can get a buyback of your vehicle. |

Replying to: vinnyny (Nov 29, 2007 9:16 pm) Sounds like me and my 4 Dodges!!! I averaged over 80k miles each with nothing but brakes, tires, and oil changes. All but one were fleet vehicles that weren't pampered at all, constant use/abuse. Only my dealership has a "cafe" that serves fresh ground coffee, has a few computers for internet access etc.... |

Replying to: ducksdad007 (Dec 01, 2007 2:22 pm) This thread also shows up in the Dodge Caravan forums. Also, you never answered my question. You stated that the Caravan had a nicer ride but you were tired of buying transmissions. Things have changed but weren't you aware of the lifetime powertrain warranty that is now included on practically every Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicle? The transmission is part of the powertrain. |
