Good vehicle except front brakes. Front rotors to small for weight of vehicle. They burn through front brakes prematurely and will get alot of vibration in brakes under moderate braking. Drilled and slotted rotors are the fix but messed up that dodge is still putting same rotors on these Van's knowing the rotors are to small. Another way to rip you off in the shop. No thanks dodge.
Are you up to date about those brakes? The 1990s models had way undersized brakes, at only 282 mm/11” size front discs. The 2000s models had the second-gen 305 mm/12” inch discs, which were stronger but had reliability problems with the calipers. Then came the 2011-on Grand Caravans, with the HD 330 mm/13” front discs, which require 17” wheels, because they’re too big to fit inside the earlier 16” wheels. The HD brakes also have 2-piston front calipers and really get the job done, finally addressing a long-term issue with these vans. While my 1998 GC would burn through a set of pads every 45,000 km/28,000 miles, my 2012 GC R/T has 63,000 km/39,000 miles on it and the original brake pads are still fine. As for vibration, these brakes are not like the old types. Some pad material gets built up on the discs and has to be polished smooth through occasional heavy use. It’s also very important not to keep the brakes pressed on hard after stopping on a downhill stretch. If you do that, some pad material will get stuck to the disc, leaving a high spot on the disc, which will cause vibration. This can be smoothed off by occasionally pressing the brakes on hard for a second or two when slowing from speed. Apply the brakes firmly for a couple of seconds, release for a second, apply again for a second time, or even a third time. If you do this regularly, your brakes will be smooth and will last a long time. I know a bit about cars and vans, but this was news to me, too.
I own a 2017 base model. No power doors, no aluminum wheels, no stow n go in the middle, no DVD. You name it, I don't have it. It's a great vehicle. I don't need all those extras.
Nyon Gyon we are actually not an auto store. We help our clients with financing prior to vehicle shopping. Once Pre approved we match our clients to vehicles through partner dealerships. Check out our google rating. our customers are very happy with us. Not bad for under 1 year in business! We are working hard to always do better tho, thanks for your concern!
I like the minivan. Less likely to get pulled over in. Cheap insurance. My cat would love the room in the back. I can throw in a mattress a comforter sleeping bag and some pillows. Living in Los Angeles. After work go to sleep and wait for the traffic to die down.than go home. I like this video. I’m look for a 2019 identical to this. Good video thanks Kim.
