I have a 1996 Dodge Caravan, its a piece of shit, but its cool. They way they were designed made it so everytime it rains hard and the vans outside, rain gets in somewhere and fucks it up. So now, everytime it rains i cant drive anywhere. Has anyone else noticed this? if you have one or know someone who this has happened to

i have an 89 as my cargo vehicle. I would imagine that you have a bad weather seal somewhere rather than it being a design flaw.

What's getting wet inside? If it's the dashboard, check out the windshield gasket like stated before.

Dodge Caravans have never to my knowledge have had a water leak problem per say.
Is the carpet getting wet? Does it get wet when parked only?

Well if it only gets wet that is a "better" problem that they have. If you get more thank 75k on the tranny you are running on borrowed time!

165k on mine and counting!

engine burns a quart every 300 miles but for an 80's american car i say it's held together pretty well!

Never had a problem with our 98 T&C, but that could just be luck. Chrysler has never been known for reliability.

I've got a '96 with no leaks. The wife drives the shit out of it... no probs.
