When we purchased the car used in 2005, we took it home, went over some bumps, and immediately called the dealer. They generously replaced the sway bar bushings for free. Keep in mind that the car was only four years old. Two and a half years later, same thing. Needs new sway bar bushings. Incredibly annoying. Before owning this car, I had never even heard of a sway bar, let alone sway bar bushings. Now, suddenly, I'm needing new bushings every three to four years. What a nightmare. If you like to take cars in for service, or if the mechanic in your local garage is an eligible bachelor or eligible single woman, buy a Grand Caravan because you'll be sure to see your mechanic every couple months.
