Common problems and easy repairs on a 1999 Caravan

The 1999 Dodge Caravan is a relatively easy vehicle to maintain. The headlight is accessible by simply reaching behind the bulb housing, allowing for reliable changes whenever necessary. Checking the transmission fluid won’t be a problem, as the dipstick has very open access and is also very simple to read. The entire engine coolant system has unobstructed access, allowing you to monitor it with much ease.

However, the 1999 Dodge Caravan does have its downsides. The engine air filter is located deep in the engine bay and its housing will need to be removed for access, which can be bulky and problematic to navigate around. The battery bracket is also located deep in the engine bay, which might make it challenging should the battery ever need to be replaced. The spare tire could run the risk of rusting to the undercarriage, cutting down on the reliability of fixing a flat.
