My 2008 Grand Caravan always has Use More oil than it Should even back when I First Bought it at 93,000 miles. It has 137,538 Miles on it now,I have to put in 2 Quarts a Month, I don't Drive my 2008 Grand Caravan but 10 miles a day or Less. What is Happening is the oil is Leaking out of the head on the back of the Motor by the Exhaust manifold, just a Little Trickle,The Heat Burns it up so you don't see a Leak on the Ground.
The van was almost new when this problem happened along with the stereo dying and the mat holder pulling out of the floor. These things certainly didn't impress me but I still liked my van until all the new problems happened today. Today I found out I have an oil leak, a ball joint that is about to fall out, and a control arm that is also shot and I was told my van isn't really safe to drive and the parts are not in stock. The van now has 35 k and has only been driven by my wife and I, certainly not abused. The parts are paid for under warranty but I have to pay for an alignment after the new front end parts are replaced. This is the second Dodge van I've owned. Other than excessive rust and chronically failing sway bar links on my 99 it was a good van. This one looks like it is a lemon and if it continues it will be the last Chrysler product I own.
