Considering 2006 GC SXT - issues to watch for?
Hi, I'm considering the purchase of a 2006 Grand Caravan SXT. (I've spent a few months researching and driving a number of vans)
Is there anything I should watch out for? Any "common" problems with this year and model?
I've noted that 2005's have a bcm(?) issue with power locks, but I haven't seen that with 2006's. I seen posts about power sliding doors problems (wiring). I know that there's a wiper motor recall on some 2006's. But other than that I haven't noticed anything major that appears common.
TIA,
Gary

I'm still looking for common problems. While every car could have anything be an issue, are there "common" items that are a problem with 05-07 caravans?
I noted this thread about front sway bar bushings

Yeah the bushings seem to be a common problem but are cheap to fix. The trannies are as good as anyone elses now if you do the scheduled maintenace on them . Motors are generally bulletproof . We have a 2004 and a 2007 and so far no major problems with them other than a EGr vlave on the 2004 , this seems to be a slightly more common problem also.
