Dodge Grand Caravan Lemon Odds and Nada Odds

Dodge Grand Caravan Lemon Odds and Nada Odds:

Other sources of Dodge Grand Caravan reliability information provide only averages, which can conceal as much as they reveal. So we also report the percentage of Dodge Grand Caravans with no repairs at all in the past year and the percentage of Dodge Grand Caravans that are lemons (required three or more repair trips in the past year). These figures might surprise you.

These stats are promptly updated four times a year, to closely track Dodge Grand Caravan lemon odds as the cars age. Others can be over a year behind. Only TrueDelta tells you how reliable the Dodge Grand Caravan has been recently.

Dodge Grand Caravan Lemon Odds and Nada Odds through December 31, 2012

General NotesNote the sample sizes in the right column. For a precise Nada Odds, it'd be best to have 50+ cars. For Lemon Odds, 100+. In most cases the sample sizes are between 25 and 35, and differences of less than six points are probably not meaningful. This is especially a factor with the "Lemon Odds," where nearly all scores are low.

That said, the Lemon Odds figures are probably much lower than many people suspected, so we've posted them. Similarly, the Nada Odds are probably higher than many people suspected. Even with the least reliable cars in this results set your odds of no repairs would be better than one in three. Surprised? MethodologyThe samples include cars for which we have at least nine months of data in the past year. The "Nada-odds" are adjusted based on the average number of months of data per car. These stats are very close to what they'd be if we included only cars with a full year of data.

Only successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Recalls and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

What Our Members Are Saying about Brand Reputation and the Dodge Grand Caravan

Brand Reputation of the Dodge Grand Caravan: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Minivan, ext. 175-horsepower 3.3L V6
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Dodge has been making these vehicles longer than any other, they have much experience with these vehicles.
2008 4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I bought Dodge only because Ford was involved in supporting homosexuality. If I had waited until now I would have bought a Ford.
2002 4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.8L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Most popular and plenty availability of parts and service facilities
Brand Reputation of the Dodge Grand Caravan: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 THEY DO NOT STAND behind their vehicle as one would expect from a manufacturer of a BRAND NEW Mini-Van. My last Dodge/Chrysler after 24 years of purchasing...as many of the family too. Employee or not discount or not...NO THANKS! We are going elsewhere.
2008 4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 2008 seems to have had many bad reviews and JD Power reliability is rated only 2 of 5.
2008 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The reputation though well deserved of inferior products.
2005 4dr Minivan, ext. 180-horsepower 3.3L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Extremely poor reliability expectations of virtually every component on the vehicle.
2005 4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Web reports/research states that oil consumption problem is not normal and one should worry about long term durability of the engine. Other research shows Daimler-Chrysler has overall quality and safety issues.
