Grand Caravan

  • 35,000 miles
There was a smell of hot coolant anytime we were driving. I took it to the dealer and they said there was bad connection on the heater hose assembly and it would be $525 to fix. Upon investigation in the Dodge forums, this is an issue that is happening on a regular basis due to the heater hoses being directly above the exhaust collector and is causing the rubber to fail and thus causing coolant leaks. Best case is it smells when the coolant is leaking on the exhaust, worst case is people are getting stranded due to overheating. Dodge claims this is not covered under warranty.
