Pros: What do you like about 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
This minivan doesn't have any power toys so that saves some headaches.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
If it wasn't right the first time, don't make customer pay for corrections.

2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
After 15,000 miles spark plugs, air bag, injectors, brakes (pads and rotors), air bag again, power steering leaks, noisy engine belts, cv joints, sliding doors don’t close properly, you can feel air coming thru doors rubber seals but the worst one is that after 4 months trying to get a roof paint warranty they told me that : Chrysler won’t participate in this repair knowing that 5 licensed body shops agreed that was a manufacturer problem but, because the service advisor manager said that those “cracks” were normal because another minivans are having the same issue, I pointed that it will experienced some rust and he agreed and said but later on.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
Stow & go seating is so awesome, it's by far the best thing yet.
It rides quiet.
Plenty of power.
DVD player with screen makes for entertaining with kids, and adults easy.
Rear heat and air controls is a plus.
Front seats are comfortable.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
Finding one reasonably priced is a real pain...
Rear seats are not comfortable.
DVD function supersedes all functions on the radio, you cannot listen to a cd, or fm while DVD is playing.
Is very top heavy.

2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
This is an excellent vehicle, it was hard to find for the price we wanted to pay. We love the stow&go seating. If the kids are unhappy, just turn on the dvd player, and all is well. Although you can't listen to anything but the dvd while it is playing. The rear heat and ac controls are great. We really don't mind making long trips in this van. Plenty of room, plenty of options, and is great on gas (avg 23 mpg) although we had a bad experience at the dealer, we love the van. We will not buy from the same dealer again.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
Stow n Go

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
Bigger engine, better electronics, better interior materials, improve the level of the build quality starting with the basic models on up... raise the standard of the overall quality without increasing the costs.

2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
The 2005 version is an improvement, but it still is lacking behind the competition. Improve the build quality by improving the materials used. Increase the performance and be competitive with the imports. Lower your profit margins, and become the industry standard without being greedy would be my recipe for a successful industry leading company and product.

remove lower driver air bag

2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
I really like my 2005 Dodge Caravan. But two months ago I was hit head on. The driver who hit me was going about 30 mph when she hit me. I would have walked away from the wreck with only a few bruses had it not been for my lower airbag. I now have permanent damage in both legs due to the lower airbag. It is my openion they are not safe. Had I had weak bones, but legs would have been breken. However I do have permanent nerve damage in both legs because of the air bags.
