Dodge Grand Caravan

"Driver side rear sliding door latch/lock failure Car Gurus shows this is a common problem on this model going back to its introduction in 2008/2009. I was lucky being under warranty. The mfgr will not fix and dealer charges $1200 to $1500 to repair."

"One sliding door could not be locked.Repair bill was $642.10."

"Passenger side sliding door does not close properly and rattles at highway speed."

"Clunking sound coming from inside the left rear shock. Dealer said no problem found so I changed the rear shocks and problem went away. Dealer is hopeless!"

"A failed rear shock or shock mount"

"Premature failure. Already need to be replaced."

"The aux plug did not work. Radio was replace and works fine now"

"The dash mounted GPS is 3 years old. I have not been able to update the maps. The local Chrysler / Dodge dealer is of no help. Sys it is not a Chrysler Co. product. One line reneal service says they do not intend to provide an up date and Chrysler has not requested it. I spent big $$$ and there is no recourse!!"

"The button on the steering wheel used to scroll between the different readings on the trip computer would not always change the display when the button was pressed. Sometimes I would have to press the button 2 to 3 times before the display would change."

"A rock stuck in the drive-belt idler pulley split the drive-belt lengthwise. Both the belt and the pulley were replaced."

"TWO ignition coils (of six) died. Under warranty but not covered! At approximately 59750 miles, of the 60000 mile warranty. NAPA says Bosch is OEM for these and they are lifetime warranty! To get this diagnosis, one dealer replaced the cyl head per TSB but never addressed the complaint. IN TEN DAYS. Second dealer service manager diagnosed ACTUAL problem inside 30 seconds and repaired in a day. Original issue was chugging/violent skipping. *I* had spark plugs replaced for half of dealer estimate! Improved greatly but still skipped/chugged a tad."

"Oil filter housing was replaced under warranty for having a leaking crack in it's side. First oil change done at Firestone, remaining oil changes done AT DODGE DEALER to Chrysler spec. One would assume that if Dodge can't use their own oil filter system without breaking it, it's a crap design!!!"

"purchased dodge 2016 from Enterprise auto sales, and when I took it to my mechanic to get required New York state inspection, my mechanic called me to come down and showed me the transmission leak.. seams Enterprise never prepped my van, and didn't notice the leak..."

"Found by the dealer when in for regular maintenance"

"Was found by dealer at time of oil change"

"At 65452 miles one of the cylinders had a compression issue. Because I was over the warranty mileage it was not covered. Fortunately, i had purchased an extended warranty which covered most of the cost of the cylinder head replacement"

"Compression loss due to exhaust valve sealing on cylinder 6"

"Unexplained burning of anti freeze. Heads were removed, sent out and checked and the block was checked. They said everything including the head gaskets looked good, but it quit burning anti freeze after that. They later finally found a antifreeze leak at the lower side of the oil filter at a o ring. All seams to be good now"

"The module had to be replaced since it would make all the gauges, lights, and wipers intermittently turn on and flash."

"Mother Board had to be replaced"

"Sliding door on the right side will not lock, either by the remote or manually"

"The car suddenly died in the middle of the street no forward motion, had to towed it to the dealer. The transmission had to be replace cause the pump failed destroying it. I had a extended warranty because their transmission always goes bad. Also, repaired loose rocker arms that started to ping."

"Occurred when vehicle was 4 yrs old. For about 4 months before it would sometimes not respond initially to depression of the accelerator when driving at highway speeds. One day while driving on the highway it didn't respond at all and was stuck in a low gear so the van had to be towed and the transmission rebuilt. It was covered under a purchased extended warranty."

"We live in Ontario Canada and get a lot of snow in the winter. The roads are heavily salted in our area. Routine maintenance dictates that brakes need to be disassembled and cleaned every 25,000 km. We had driven about 30,000 km since the last disassembly / cleaning service and the rear brake pads started to stick and drag so we cleaned the calipers and installed new brake pads and rotors. I will take a close look at the front brakes this fall when changing to winter tires but they are working well now. It seems the rear brakes get more salt spray and don't last very long in this environment."

"I took it back to the dealer twice for the same problem. Ended up taking it to Mavis tires and the problem was resolved by replacing the rotors which were suppose to have been replaced by the dealer."

"Found a anti freeze leak at a o ring in the oil filter housing. Bad design in the housing"

"It had to do with the fuel delivery system. It was subject to recall and repaired free of charge but took a full day."
