2006 Dodge Caravan consumer reviews

I own the CV version. At about 150 000 km, the alternator and water pump failed. Now at 205 000 km it is burning up coolant. I fill the radiator after every drive. I was told that this version has a better transmission.

I bought my Dodge Grand caravan used from a dealership but didn't realize how much work really need to be done on the vehicle my only having the vehicle for few years now has cost me money then it's worth all my lights are on on the dashboard including the airbag light tire sensor light and gas light even though I have changed the gas caps 5times still the light will not go out I'm really disgusted and don't know what to do anymore. Any suggestions please?

This van is just what I needed. Comfortable seats, plenty of leg room, with the 3.3 V6, it has plenty of pull on the mountain roads. Lots of cargo room and very clean interior.

My heart broke a little bit when Dodge discontinued the Caravan. The 2006 Dodge Caravan is, for a mini-van, a GOOD looking vehicle. The later Caravan styling made it boxier and less attractive, but this model year is sleek, like a slightly overweight panther. My grandparents graciously gifted me a stripped-down 2006 Dodge Caravan in 2006. No cruise control, no power locks or windows, no frills--but it's a great car. The 2.4-liter engine is, apparently, much sought-after by Dodge enthusiasts, as it is quite reliable. In all the years I've driven this car (nearly fourteen), there's never been major engine issues. It is sluggish for a mini-van, however, with only four-cylinders. It is not a powerful car. Later in its life, I had several costly repairs, and still have a misfiring cylinder at idle that isn't worth the cost of repairing. The vehicle still runs well at cruising speeds, however; you just don't want to get stuck in traffic. The timing belt went out sometime in 2013, but no other engine components were damaged; the mechanic told me I "must be living right." This vehicle is no longer my primary car, as I purchased a 2017 Nissan Versa Note SV for commuting and such (purchased in January 2020). But I still drive it about once a week around town and on errands. I love this van. I was also in several wrecks in this bad boy--only one of which, a small fender bender, was my fault. It was rear-ended on Christmas Day 2008. A friend's wife backed into it in 2006, shortly after I got it. Someone crunched in the bumper in a parking lot. I scraped it against a light bollard in an IHOP parking lot. It's busted up, bruised, and scraped, but it's still a great vehicle. My brother and I fit two ENTIRE couches into it at once (with the seats removed). Bring back this classic mini-van, Dodge!

This van has been a major workhorse for me since I bought it new 13 years ago. It has been used to haul things. As a mobile umpire locker room, and to transport family. And for a minvan, it also has good styling and lines.

My family has owned this car for 9-10 years. She's falling apart, but she still goes well and we love her. We take her in to the shop fairly often (the ac was broken for about a year, but it's fixed now!!). She's not pretty and the gas mileage isn't fun, and it's hard to fit into parking spaces, but listen. A car is supposed to go! And she goes! So honestly I'll miss her when I get my own car.

You can take 7 passengers, or remove the seats and transport appliances or a sofa. Very functional. The 3.3-litre engine is well tested. There are plenty of parts out there should you have an issue.

Van drives like a sedan, very comfortable and roomy. Perfect for road trips and hauling family around. Stylish, quiet, smooth with great performance. Strong engine. Love this van!
