    Its such a shame that the 5th gen dodge caravan/ town and country has so many issues. You can pick them up dirt cheap in good condition, but you’ll have a bunch of small (and big) problems. They came with the stow n go and some had swivel and go where the second row seats could spin around and face the third row.

      Yeah, our Ody only has stow and go for the 3rd row bench. It would be nice to have a stowable 2nd row as well

      We’ve never had any major issues with it outside of scheduled maintenence

        The dodge 3.6 has a major issue where one of the internal oil galley plugs comes loose causing loss of oil pressure to the rocker arms. It presents itself as a ticking noise coming from the engine. You have to replace the rocker shafts, rocker arms, and if you let it get bad enogh, the camshafts.

        Dodge fwd tranamisaions have been an issue for almost 40 years. People neglect them and put the wrong fluid in them, which makes them go bad.
