      [quote=”4.6LOHCV8″ post=118876][quote=”TeenageAngst” post=15018]I haven’t really driven lots of cars so my opinion doesn’t hold a lot of weight but if there was one car I consider a blight on the road, one car that if I had my way would be stricken from history, it would be the Dodge Caravan and it’s numerous offspring. There’s really absolutely nothing exceptional about them in any way as far as the ride or driving experience is concerned. They look hideous from every conceivable angle but *particularly* the back. Getting caught in traffic behind one of these bulbous freaks of the automotive world is a comparable experience to being inside of a Vietnamese POW camp. This is exacerbated by the fact that these things are absolutely everywhere so you’re many times seeing multiple Caravans at the same time. Last but certainly not least though are the drivers. I can certainly understand why someone driving a Caravan they paid good money for would want to kill themselves but the driving habits of most Caravan owners seem to indicate they want to take with them as many people as possible. A Caravan, loaded with children, is the most ungracefully driven machine I’ve seen yet. No indicators, ever. Foot to the floor, flying by cars in all lanes regardless of traffic speed. Erratic lane shifts with no real purpose other than to cut someone off for the hell of it. Headlights are optional before 8pm always. They maintain this incredible precision of always being exactly in your blind spot yet completely unaware of their surroundings. I’m convinced a meteor could strike the roadway leaving a mile wide crater and every single Caravan driver would drive top speed right into it. That is unless there was a sign indicating road work ahead in which case they would all crowd into the one open lane to the right of the crater and attempt to hit the workers trying to fill in the hole.[/quote]

      *Applauding* that is hitting the nail on the head my brother. but on top of that i dont know if a reliable dodge caravan exists, rather a entire crowd of them. every one i see or hear of needs at least 500$ work done to them mechanically.[/quote]
      TeenageAngst basically was making a statement about drivers not vehicles, which is ridiculous. I know the Caravans aren’t Hondas, but the 2006 we owned made it to 180K without many repairs before it was totaled in a collision.

        I did this once on our Caravan. I had the same result. The thought didn’t occur to me when reading your issue. Thanks for posting the conclusion.

            I’ve never ever seen an American built car last longer than 250,000mile. [/quote]
            We had a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3/4ton here at work with over 330,000 miles on it before an employee bought it. It happens!

                    I agree, check the drive-line first. My 1994 Corolla did that same thing, because the inner CV joints were worn out.

                        If it is making a whirring or grinding sound, I would say that most likely the starter is the issue. The bendix gear may not be engaging the flywheel ring gear every time causing the sound described.

                                1974 Plymouth Duster. It was a hand me down from my mother. My dad and I replaced the 318cid with a 360cid small block and fitted it with an aftermarket cam, headers, aluminum intake, & Holley carb. I also rebuilt the front suspension with polygraphite bushings and added a front sway bar. I sold it for a 1972 Dodge Challenger, but now 25 years later, I would love to own a Duster again.
