Dodge vans had crap transmissions until '98. Then they fixed 'em. We have several caravans in our fleet at work with well over 200,000 miles on them-- all hard miles, terrible maintenance, heavy hauling, etc. These vans keep running and running.
We used to have a couple of Ford Aerostars. If you think Windstar and Freestar are horrible, you haven't driven an Aerostar. Those things were nothing but junk inside and out. By 60,000 miles, they had all sorts of things broken, like fuel gages didn't work, door hardware that didn't latch, transmission problems, electrical problems out the ying-yang, noisy valve-clattering engines, body rust, mirrors falling off, etc.
