Check engine light keeps going on. Code reads for a cyclinder 6 misfire. Took vehicle to two car repair shops and both determined cyclinder 6 is unresponsive and stated this is a common issue with the 3.6 engines. Mechanic replaced spark plug, coil and did pressure testing to rule out injector issues.

Leaking oil from a cracked oil filter plastic cap after changing oil. Read that this is common in Dodge Grand Caravan. Don-??t see why this issue has not been recalled. Hazardous incident can be a fire resulting from the oil filter that-??s located at the top leaking down to the engine as well as onto the transmission. Another hazardous incident can be where the oil flies to the back where the muffler is located due to the wind while driving the vehicle which can result in a fire. My vehicle popped up with my oil changed needed to be done. Took it to Dodge Dealership and I did an oil change, oil filter, air filter, and cabin oil filter and nothing was mentioned that I had an oil leak. Notice oil droppings on my driveway. Took vehicle to my son-??s mechanic and he said it was a seriously problem. Oil is all over the engine and transmission. This really should be a recall. It can be a matter of death resulting from it.

Was driving onto a narrow 2 lane elevated bridge when, without warning, the engine just stopped. There were no warning lights or sounds before or after the engine stopped. I was stranded on this bridge on busy route U.S 17 and no other drivers could go around me because of construction barriers. Eventually some other drivers that were stuck behind me helped me push vehicle to crest of bridge and I coasted to the bottom of the bridge and got out of the roadway. Vehicle was towed to Dodge dealer because it would not restart. Dealer diagnosed problem as Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). Cost to repair was $1382. It became quite apparent to me that Chrysler-Dodge has made a fortune replacing these parts on many of their vehicles, to the level that would indicate that there is some defect in the design or manufacturing of these parts. I have since read hundreds of stories about other drivers left stranded in the roadway over this issue. Certainly seems dangerous enough to warrant a safety recall over these numerous part failures.

February 2020: Van turned itself off while city driving about 25mph and restarted after coasting to curb. March 2020 van failed to start at home, starter motor working but engine wouldn't start. Mechanic replaced fuel pump and fuel pump relay after many days and great difficulty obtaining parts. June 2020 van engine wouldn't start, as before, and was towed to mechanic.

2014 Dodge Caravan w/ about 80,000 miles had a P-0302 cylinder misfire-code. This was caused by a bearing failure on rocker rocker arm on left side, approximately 3 months after the 6 year power train warranty ran out. Cylinder misfires were intermittent and caused rough idling. The van is not driven roughly and this is very early in the engine's life for something like that to happen. It seems to be a fairly common issue with this model car / engine, indicating something wrong with the design...

Fuel line failure while merging onto major highway. This resulted in loss of acceleration and power steering on the highway. Vehicle coasted / rolled to the next available highway exit. Upon inspection of the engine compartment, I observed boiling liquid; vehicle was non-functional and had to be towed to dealer. Odb scanner reported it as a #2 cylinder failure. Prior to highway failure, van had problems with the check engine light resulting from a #2 cylinder misfire. Took the van to dealer and they did not find the correct problem, so paid twice for service. The first payment to fix resulted from the charge for inspection from the check engine light. Second charge resulted after needing to have the vehicle towed to the dealership, and after the dealer fixed the fuel line issue.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle did not restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was corrosion of unspecified wiring that burned out the fuel pump. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
