Chrsler/former Chrysler owners, would you recommend the product?

We have a 2011 Caravan, 185000km

Had to replace the power steering rack recently as the pressure lines were rotted off. Two weeks ago had to replace a side pan on the transmission as it was rotted through, and I could not believe how thin the replacement part was considering that it is exposed inside the driver side wheel well. I am partially to blame with these as I did not have it Krown sprayed - in a foolish moment I bought the undercoating package that the dealer offered, and it was garbage.

Be warned though, the Caravans are notorious for short brake life, especially the rears.

Other than the above, no issues and yes great for travelling. Wife wants another one.

I had an '06 Grand Caravan for about 8 years (bought used). It ate brakes for breakfast, and generally was a poorly constructed vehicle. It had many minor annoyances manifest over its lifespan which werent worth the price to fix but added up were......annoying. It was, and felt cheap. By the time I got rid of it in 2016 it was falling to pieces with about 180,000km on it.

It was an awful vehicle in the snow, even with snowtires.

We're likely to move back to a minivan at some point, but I'll be looking another direction when that happens

The money saved on a Caravan vs. The other vans will pay for a lot of repairs, should you need them. If buying new don’t buy rustproofing from the dealer. Take it straight to your local Krown rust control and it will last for years.

We went with a Kia and had a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE with the dealer in Newmarket..

Will fill in another day..

Note on the undercoat treatments..

There is a big big difference between "Oil Guard" and "Rubberized Undercoat".
Toyota does Rubberized treatment. I even use( spray cans from parts source)it on the bottom of my trailer.

If spot goes bad( water gets thru) you just scrape the small section off paint and respray or roll/brush on some more undercoat.

Just if you have a choice of oil or rubberized.

“Sigh”......yes, the undercoating from the dealer was a joke,

When we finalized the purchase, I was sitting in the dealership with a cranky 20-month old and a wife who was ready to burst with our second. It was not a smart time to make the decision !
