Phil et al;
I am the once proud owner of a dodge grand caravan le that has turned into a maintenance nightmare. Nice that they had a warantee to 70K, bad that the transmission failed at 76K. Not nice that I had to sink $3,000 for a new transmission. Not nice that the dodge dealer tried to raoe me for new brakes and rotors at the same time when in fact I just swapped out my rotors and put on new pads 7k miles before they were telling me I needed to do this work. Dodge dealer's explanation: "Oh, you must have done that some place else as we don't have that service in our computer."
Holy cows batman, if not in the computer we do reguardless of the condition of the rotors and pads because we are dodge mechanics!

So now I have 83K on my dodge grand caravan le and no longer like it. :(
I do not see me ever buying a Chrylser product again. And to think I had a ram pickup and another Grand Caravan LE before this one. Dodge and the dealer do not give a hoot about loyalty but then again who does? My reason for the post!
