Transmission failed at 59,000 miles- will cost me at least $2650 when I pick it up thursday, 10/25/07. What choice do I have, I have to get to work. I bought it new and it will be paid off next october, 2008. I've had that van to the two dodge dealers and at least two different individual mechanics. I've paid for emissions repairs, 3 sets of tires. I had the "caravan" letters replaced and they are now etched out again, I've been driving it and it quit before, but today's incident, was just a near miss I wasn't crushed between a school bus and a tractor trailer. The van just wouldn't go. I was just sick all day-scared and actually left work early.

I had to replace the engine in my 2002 dodge caravan sport in september 2006. There is a fault in the rear heater assembly tube which causes it to rust out. When this tube rusts out, anti-freeze leaks out, causing the engine to over heat and seizes the motor.

My 2002 dodge caravan with 4 cylinder engine has about 66,000 miles on it and the egr valve package has gone bad. The chrysler dealer in my area states that this part is not covered by the extended emission's control warranty that expires at 80,000 miles. The part cost around $170.00 and will take about $120-$200 for labor. The part # is 4287820ac.
