What owners wrote
My grand caravan was hit from behind with such force the rear of the van lifted off the ground. At impact my drivers seat broke, reclining me, making it impossible for me to reach the brakes to stop my van. I hit the center median (fast lane) with the left front fender, blowing the tire and breaking axle the van then bounced across lanes hitting bridge railing and cement wall with right front fender blowing that tire and then back to the median (fast lane), and came to a stop against the median.
The transaxle in the transmission blew apart in the gear case at 76,000 miles on our 2000 caravan and nine days after this the left front axle assemble was shot and had to be replaced.
