Air conditioner malfunction in mine and 2 others

My air conditioner does not work anymore. No recalls apparent. My sister owned a 2005 and a 1998 and both cars air conditioners malfunctioned. I am wondering how many others have had the same problem.

Normally a Grand Caravan is an excellent vehicle.

I purchased this vehicle from Jannsens in McCook Nebraska. I've purchased several Grand Caravans in my lifetime and have gotten excellent service out of them. This van only had 105,000 miles on it and should have provided me with years of good service. Due to COVID I drove it very little. I normally would have driven it all over for my business. Had I driven it as normal it would have broke down within 3 months max.: Transmission and engine went out on this vehicle in less than a year after purchasing it. It would have never lasted even that long had it not been for COVID. This is NOT normal for this vehicle especially with this low of miles on it. I was told the previous owner was 1 person vehicle owner and they had it for 13 years (2011 + 13 = 2024). What year is it? 2021...hmmm.

Great vehicle

We've owned several mini-vans , but this is by far the best , has been very reliable over the 7 years we've owned it. Nothing has broken or fallen off , and you can't beat the versatility. The stow and go seats let you convert the van to hauling mode in a matter of minutes. Gas mileage is about what you'd expect for a V6 heavy van , but it's worth it. Great for vacation/traveling hauling the family to grandma's house, etc. I recommend the CREW trim level and also the FLEX-FUEL V6 to save a few bucks when regular un-leaded get's pricey .

Reliable, comfortable, good gas mileage

This car is comfortable to drive and ride in. Lots of room, stow and go seats. Third row seating. Queen air mattress will fit in the back! I love mine.
