Posted by Agent Skelly Its intersting to hear that! I know historically, the Caravans had some odd issues with every generation, but man, those issues are some of the oddest I have heard. I have friends (with kids may I add too) who own the current generation Caravan and they really have not taken the car into the dealer for quality issues far as I know of. However, I should ask the owner of a wheelchair van dealer I know since he sells and services converted Dodge Caravans among others. I figure he's a good neutral party. Perhaps GM and Chrsyler send all the cars that only pass basic QC checks to your town in Ontario I think VW might be interested first in what the Chrysler/Fiat R&D team come up with first for the 30th anniversary before making another deal. I don't think VW would bring the Sharan over here after the awful EuroVan sales...

I have a couple customers with new Caravans that quite like them (And like I've said, I think they're the best minivan going)

I think too that most of the parts that are a recall on the VW version are different than the Dodge (like the front and rear fascias and the headlights)

Although my friend is a tech at the Dodge dealer across town and said the current gen Caravans have the EVAP, sliding door and rear brake issues.

it seems like everyone I know here has trouble with brakes on their Caravans... they're always changing brakes and rotors.

and coolant leaks
