2010 Dodge Grand Caravan consumer reviews

Would buy again from Humes we also bought a new truck. This is our second van that we purchased from them. They always follow up with us to see how we are doing with it. I will buy another one when I am done with the one I have now. We are very pleased with the Dodges.

I have had this van for 4 years. Still love it today as much when I bought it. It's been a very reliable not had any issues.

Paid cash brand new. Continuous problems with entire braking system. Climbing a hill recently a "y" coolant hose exploded leaving the 2010 Caravan dead....never had a vehicle towed! Chrysler did replace the rusting hood at four years though, more problem then what it was worth. Had ten or more vehicles in my time, this 2010 grand caravan is truly unreliable and a disappointment.

After buying this vehicle recently I've discovered it is virtually identical to the 2009 Grand Caravan SXT that I drove before a recent accident. That accident involved my hitting a wall, telephone pole and a rollover. I totaled my 2009 completely but I only ended up with lacerations to my left arm. I was so happy with the safety of that vehicle that I decided to get the 2010 to replace it, and it did not disappoint. Let me say, I recommend that you get the SXT model, as the SE is not as good. The larger 3.8, or 4.0 engines are far better than the 3.6. Also, I recommend the 6 speed auto Transmission option if you get one. The MPG is almost as good as on the smaller engines but performance is superior. My old 2009 was loaded with options and this newer 2010 has even more. I bought my 2009 new and put about 68,000 miles on it, this new one still has less than 21,000. Both the 2009 and 2010 ran smooth and quiet and a pleasure to drive on both daily routes and long trips. Practically speaking, these were both excellent vehicles for the price. No complaints, NONE.

I purchased a new 2010 Grand Caravan and immediately notice excessive exhaust noise. The demo van did not have this problem. Picture a van without an exhaust but the noise is muffled. Everyone who rides in the van commenst at how loud the noise is. at 24,000 miles rear calipers siezed and ignition switch failed. This can happen to any car but what has blown this out of all proportions is that Chrysler says this is normal. The problmes would have been acceptable had Chrysler admitted the problems and just fixed them instead of denying and making it difficult to get satisfaction. My advice to anyone thinking of buying a Chrysler product is not to. Having driven Chrysler products since 1979, i am one customer who will not be back.

It's a nice van so far. I've only had it for a month, but it is doing it's job nicely. It has more pickup than I would have expected, and the stow and go seating is great!!

I generally just okay with this van. It was purchased from Enterprise used w/ about 35,000 miles on it. I was initially very unhappy b/c driving it caused my foot to hurt so badly I thought I'd have to get rid of it immediately. They took forever to get me an owner's manual which partially explained how to adjust the foot pedals which helped a lot over time it seems. The van is noisy to me. It gets loud when driving at slightly faster speeds but it is probably not a mechanical issue. I'm just not used to hearing anything like that coming out of a Mazda 626. The wipers come on so easily b/c they are part of the turn signal system and it is annoying. The headlights are not on the stearing wheel as I am used to. The radio requires you to push the on button then the prefered system (CD, Radio) so it ends up being two steps instead of one and that's annoying. The van exterior feels cheap b/c it has so much give in it if you lean against it. I don't recall feeling that when leaning against my previous vehicles. I just hope it endures and my opinion improves over the years. It is very roomy and has great interior lighting and room for DVD player on the ceiling.

This is the 4th mini van I've owned, and this is the best. Just put 12,000 miles on vacation with no problems. Best mileage was 29, average for trip was 24 mpg. Comfortable for long trips, great storage with stow-n-go seating and wide doors. We camp with a tent, so we use plastic 3 door dressers for clothes and kitchen which work well out of the sliding doors. Van handles well on the road or in city traffic. No real complaints, would like it to be quieter inside especially when windy outside. Great visibility and easy for us older folks to get in and out of.

My wife was driving to work in her grand caravan. A half- awake teen tried to cross the road in front of her and then panicked and applied his brake. Her car T-boned his large Pontiac at a right angle at about 60 mph. She lived. The bumper shock absorbers, the seat belts, the air bag, and the roll-under-on-impact mounting of the Dodge engine saved her life. He lived too, but broke his leg.

Dodge Grand Caravan has amazing storage capacity with the stow-no-go seats that fold completely away. It's like having a pickup truck. The seats aren't as sturdy and comfortable as I'd like, especially the seats behind the driver's. There is a little too much squeay noises, also. Overall, it's much better for big people like me than any of the "crossovers" I've looked at.
