I drive one for work - a 2006 Grand Caravan. Service wise - it’s the biggest piece of shit going. We bought 10 of them all at once & only 2 are left. Every one of them had major issues - multiple steering racks, brakes every 8-10K, power steering pump failures, oil consumption, electrical failures (the current one i’m driving only has one power window that works out of 4 - it only has 34k miles), ABS system failures, struts, premature tire wear, a/c compressor failure, master cylinder failure, etc. I took very good care of my van, but it just fell apart. I know some of the other guys beat the snot out of them. Didn’t matter, they all suffered from the same issues. The brake system is totally screwed on my van & it is just sitting in our parking lot, waiting for the leasing company to tow it away. It only has 72k miles on it. Looks brand new, but is junk. The highest miles on one of these 10 vans was 98k. It was towed away by the leasing company too because it was too costly to fix.
Yeah, minivans is what they do right :rolleyes: I will agree it is a comfortable, useful, practical vehicle, but it’s still a POS. I forgot to mention the 13 mpg average we got out of them.
The company is replacing the fleet with Pontiac Vibes (Toyota Matrix). So far there have been no major service issues. One of those has 42k in only 8 months (I don’t think it has had brakes yet). I should be able to order mine soon. I do the least amount of mileage, but I’m the top guy. I should have gotten one first
