2008 Dodge Grand Caravan consumer reviews

My 08 caravan has 371,000 and still going, it has had a few issues with brakes replaced often, the front control arms and a front axel was replaced around 250,000 miles but overall I love this van so much I don't trust the newer ones, we bought brand new and purchased the lifetime wrap around warranty, so after 16 years I still drive it, although we have two newer dodge vehicles a truck and charger, I prefer my van

Bought from dealer as a certified used cars and has been great up until issues with misfires of cylinders and key fobs. The A/C has been done twice since purchased and still not functioning. It had issues with no cold air and the control knobs when off is activating the vents causing it to drain the battery dead. CV axles have been replaced twice on each side along with complete hardware of hub and breaks and alignment needed which is redundant. The ABS module was unnecessarily replaced by code showing it was defective . The Gas Cap being loose caused the ABS to give the wrong code and very frustrating trying to TDC the issue. Spent a lot of money to up keep a certified car not to mention losing my job over it. But as mentioned the vehicle is great other than the issues that still exist. Dodge knows what's going on with these vehicles and wondering why they consumer has to deal with these issues that still exists costing everybody money.

They send a recall all the time. And if you don't do it when they call the recall they don't recognize you then it's a car defect and they want to charge you as if it were a car of the year. they lose strength over time.

Oil line rusting very small hole witch began to smoke while driving. Drivers should have the lines look at once a year or if they smell smoke under the hood. Could start a fire

This car met all the needs. Great for big family it drives good in any whether. Economic very a lot space in the trunk you gonna like it.

The 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan is truly a jack of all trades. It's comfortable, has seating for 7, all the rear seats can be stowed away to allow for a huge cargo area. It does it all and then some, the Grand Caravan is great for anyone who has kids, needs to move stuff around, or just likes having space for any occasion.

I loved the features from the stow and go to the window sun shades. But everything seems to quit working. I have owned my van for 2 years and within the first year the third row seat wont fold up, the rear door wont work automatically to shut it. It only works to open with the key or button. The sliding doors randomly lock and wont unlock with the button. The sliding doors like to randomly open even after being cleaned. Its like every electrical option has a malfunction.

The grand caravan has plenty of room for our family of five. The stow & go seating is great for when hauling sports equipment or vacation luggage is needed. The reliability of this vehicle is top notch. We've never been let down when it comes to supporting all of our traveling needs.

We had the problem that the ignition recall is describing. Power steering and brakes would randomly stop working while driving! I have 3 kids and one on the way and it was so scary going into the middle of an intersection because I couldn't stop! We did the recall. They switched the ignition and it is STILL doing it. It did it once last week and once this week. Dodge needs to figure this out before a family dies.

Had a 2008 Grand Caravan until May 2, 2019. Good vehicle and I definitely got my money's worth out of it, but once it hit about 120,000 miles it started to get unreliable. Started to lose oil, and eventually had more small gasket leaks than I could count. Also had problems with the body starting to rust out, the electronic door locks, the brakes and alignment, and finally lost the starter, the exhaust system, and the radiator at 146,000 miles. It was a good vehicle, and I got it serviced regularly, but it just didn't last as long as I thought it should. 146,000 miles seems a little early for this vehicle to literally self-destruct.
