I've had 7 minivans for work. 3 Ford Wind/Free-star, 3 Chrysler/Dodge, 1 Ford Death, er I mean Aerostar. Nearly a 100k on each in Metro Phx and the state.

The Aerostar was the worst, but it was the first and actually a spare and not well maintained.

All others have been fine and I've only ever been stranded due to a flat. Nothing else, nada.

They are standard vans with all the seats. Nothing special at all. I keep the third row stowed almost exclusively.

My 2019 Dodge Caravan was scheduled to be in for regular service and on the way in, the Temp gauge crapped out.
I told them when I dropped it off, but it took a week. It died a week later, then another visit for 2 more days to get it squared away.

Turns out a the battery leaked onto a significant part of a wire harness. They had to splice in a replacement. I was due for a new vehicle and the 2019 went away a week later.

I'm now driving a 2022 Chrysler Voyager. I'll say it...it's sweet. Leather wrapped wheel, climate control, power everything, Remote start, remote door operation.

The engine/transmission are really smooth with plenty of pedal. And I'm getting 24mpg.

YMMV
