Life on Florida’s West Coast

Caravan Gripe

One of my vehicles is a Dodge Grand Caravan. We bought it the last year that the seats have to actually be removed from the car if you want to use the extra space in the back. We had just been to the Nissan dealer and I had seen their van with the seats that folded down into the floor. We decided we would rather have the Caravan, but would wait if an upcoming model was going to feature the Stow and Go seats like they do indeed have these days.

The dealer – this is the Gainesville, FL Dodge Dealer – lied boldly to our faces, saying that there was no possible way the van would be changing in that respect. So, we bought the current model and off we went. Do you know that within Two months I started to see the TV commercials for Dodge Caravans with seats that folded into the floors?

There is NO POSSIBLE way the dealer was unaware of the new models that were coming out so very soon. The freaks were thinking only of that day’s sales. Greedy, greedy Dodge dealer in Gainesville, FL. Avoid them like the plague, please. (Plus, their service department is slow and inaccurate. Expect to wait approximately 4 hours for an oil change. I kid you not.)

Anyway, for the longest time I just kept the two back seats in the garage. I just used the two middle Captains chairs. I have company coming Monday, though, and we will want to drive over the beach. Plus, I am driving the following week for my daughter’s school fieldtrip. Obviously, it was time to put those seats back inside the van. What a chore! It is close to impossible for a lone female to get the seats in correctly. Today I did somehow manage to get one latched I, but the other is presently careening wilding around in the back. I am hoping my company can help me on Monday.

Freaking Gainesville Dodge. If they had just been honest, we would have SYTIIL bought from them, but just a couple of months later.
