The best and worst Dodge Grand Caravan years, by the numbers
Short answer: among Dodge Grand Caravans old enough to judge (2005–2021), the 2006–2007 and 2020–2021 have the fewest owner complaints per 10,000 sold. The 2008–2010 and 2016 have the most.
We counted every owner complaint filed with the federal government (NHTSA) for each model year and divided by how many were sold that year, so a year that sold more doesn’t look worse just for being popular. Years newer than 2021 are shown but not ranked — they haven’t been on the road long enough. How this is calculated.
