We purchase the van from my parents who owned it for five years before we did. My mother was meticulous with maintenance so we knew we were getting a van in the best possible shape considering the age (5 years old in 2011). Since we've owned it, we have not had a major mechanical issue, period. We have had to have certain components replaced (alternator, battery, rack and pinion for power steering) but noting that would have caused us to consider whether or not we should spend the money to repair it. Overall, it has been a wonderful vehicle.

I bought this vehicle very second hand. It's been through a lot so I do realize that. However, in the time that we've had it, there are just some ridiculous things that Dodge did that have caused us a lot of grief. The quality of the vehicle is less than I would've expected.
