I see a lot of Chrysler minivans on the road and hear about lots of happy owners, but the 2008 Grand Caravan I bought was the worst vehicle I have ever owned. The power sliding door closers would often start to close, then turn around and open again. This means getting unbuckled, getting out, and closing the door manually. Most annoying of all was an engine miss that did not show a code. The dealer first suggested that perhaps the fuel injectors were dirty and to try a can of cleaner. I tried this in several tankfuls - no luck. Then the battery went dead and they thought perhaps low voltage had been the culprit. New battery - no change. Then they suggested new plugs and plug wires. This was at only 40K miles, so I asked if the extended warranty would cover. "No, that is a normal maintenance item." No thank you, I don't intend to start paying for replacing parts while the shop guesses what is wrong. I traded for a Toyota Sienna and it will be a long time before I consider another Chrysler product.
