In Dec, the engine light came on. The car would do like going over speed tacks, shake, when it was between 45 to 60 mph. Took to dealership for reading, they couldn't get a good reading, it stopped. Then I paid extra for them to take transmission pan off. Told I need a new transmission. This vehicle is a 2017. This was Dec 2020. Had transmission done. About 3 weeks later, engine light came on again. When I came back, 180 miles to visit family, I had it looked at again. Showing 6 coil, misfire. The car had 85000 miles. Had the 6 coil replaced, all plugs and wires. Left, drove 180 miles, next day light came on. I wasn't driving the car much and was coming back, engine light on, car ran find. Next day, was at a red light, gave gas and the car sputter like it wasn't getting gas and wanted to died. I push on the gas paddle and hurried to get to my dad's. had a reading saying it was catalytic converted. After the weekend I took it to muffler shop. Said it wasn't giving them that reading, but misfire and 6 coil. Took to a mechanic, he replace 6 coil and said plugs where good, that they were new. But, I did need an air filter. Got car. Few hours later, engine light was back on. Reading showed coil and misfire. Going back to mechanic, again. After a red light stop, it felt like it was going to died as if it wasn't getting gas. I gave it more gas. They change everything again, even cross parts to make sure. It idles hard in park or sitting in drive. More gas it seems to do ok. Also, about 6 months after buying it, had to replace battery. 2013 was in it. So, much for wanting to retire, this car has put me into debt. I wish I had stayed with a Toyota. Own 6 and never, cost me more than regular service. And again, misfire reading, coil 6. within a month, twice its been replaced and plugs and still back like it was. Since end of Dec, been in shop 4 xs, same reading, same crap.

Oil filter housing unit fails because of over tightening done by person that is doing the oil change. Dodge personnel told me directly there should be a recall because the part is defective but Dodge refuses to do it. Part isn't even in stock because they can't keep up with the demand to replace them.

Cylinder 2 misfire due to broken cylinder head. This is a known problem from Chrysler/Dodge and has been for years. The problem was caused from a faulty mold used to cast the engine when they were manufactured. My car is only 4 years old with 71K miles, clean title and this repair is estimated to cost $3200.

I recently purchased a used 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan in Nov 2020. I went in for an oil change and was informed of a small oil leak. The dealership said that the oil filter adapter housing needed to be replaced. They are unable to get the part at this time said they are not sure when it will come in. Meanwhile I am driving in a van that is still leaking and told just to check it weekly and to it off in the meantime. I'm not sure if you can help out if I should direct this to you or someone else. I saw this info on NHTSA.gov. Any guidance how to report this issue would help. I have seen videos that say this usually occurs if someone torques the filter to tight. This is the first oil change since I purchased this vehicle and the last page that did the oil change was the dealership in Oct 2020. I'm so frustrated right now because the warranty the dealership sold me doesn't cover this issue. I don't know when it will even be resolved. I don't want to risk the leak getting worse and I don't catch it or my van catching on fire. Please help if you can.

Cylinder 6 misfire due to a compression issue due to faulty head. Only has 56K miles on it. Resulting in stalling out and lack of power when accelerating.

The oil cooler which holds the oil temperature switch and oil pressure switch and oil filter housing is made of plastic and sealed to aluminum intake manifold with bolts and rubber O-rings. This part is cracked and leaking oil at top end on a hot engine; oil leaks down onto bottom of transmission and onto roadway/driveway. Car has only 60,000 miles. From looking at you tube videos and google searches, I found many cases of this. Hard to understand why recall has not already been made for something so potentially dangerous and obviously a defective part. Expenses to repair should be paid for by Chrysler/Dodge if recall comes after us owners spend the thousand dollars to so for parts and labor. Engine leaks when running whether parked or moving on street or highway.

Estaba corriendo normalmente Y de momento le di gasolina Y no respondi al cambio Y como que SE acelero(hizo un ruido fuerte) Y dio un cantazo cogi el cambio Y arranco de momento. Luego SE le pego un ruido como si una manga estuviese raspando algo Y la pare. No la he usado mas, primero por miedo que me pase algo con mis hijos Y luego por la cuarentena del covid19. Agradecer me informen que puede hacer, donde puedo llamar O que puedo hacer. No puedo llamar a ningn lugar ya que todo esta cerrado. La guagua tiene garanta. Gracias.

About 1 week ago my check engine light came on. The code reader said it was a P302, misfire in #2. the vehicle idles rough and sometimes stalls while driving. Other 2017 Grand Caravan have had a recall for a very similar reason, but my VIN is not included in that. I feel it should be. Also the company has extend its engine warranty on cylinder heads to 10 years or 150,000 miles on 2012 Caravan with same engine with the same problem. Now the want $3,600 to fix what seems to be a inherent problem with that engine. Not fair! 1 affected product

Loss of engine power while driving. When it happens, there's also loss of powering steering and brakes. This has happened more than a dozen times on city streets and highways. It's been taken to a Dodge dealership. I'm told they can't find the problem. It's happened twice this week going to work on January 28 & 29, 2020.

Driving on highway about 75 mph with cruise set. It was almost as if the vehicle shut off, I lost all connection and my computer went whack. All the check engine lights came on etc. It slowed my car down, and reset my radio etc. But than all of a sudden it all came back on and I proceeded. But scared me and this could have caused a serious wreck. It's scheduled to go into the shop and be checked over this week.

While entering freeway onramp engine power reduced and vehicle following had to swerve to avoid collision. Believe engine output lessened by cylinder 2 misfire issue common with Dodge engines creating failures and loss of compression and reduced power with sporadic loss of acceleration when needed.

Vehical has a code for cylander 4 misfire. This causes my remote start to not work and the vehical is running rough. New spark plugs did not fix the problem. For a two year old vehical it should be reliable but I find myself relying on my 88 S10 more than our two year old van. Reading up on the 3.6L engine I am concerned that it may have the problem with the cylinder head as with many other Caravan 3.6L but my vintage is somehow not affected. I can reset the code and drive but as soon as I park the code comes back

About 6 months ago my check engine light came on. The code reader said it was a misfire in #2. the vehicle idles rough and sometimes stalls while driving. While driving on the highway we got stuck in traffic, the vehicle stalled. Thankfully it started right back up. Another instance, I was backing out of my driveway, I stopped because a car was coming, when I proceeding to back out the car stalled. Spark plugs and engine coal were changed. Did not fix the problem. Other 2017 Grand Caravan has a recall for a very similar reason, but my VIN is not included in that. I feel it should be.

Vehicle check engine light came on. Took vehicle to licensed garage for analysis. The code 2 indicated a replacement of the coil and sparkplugs need to be done. After mechanic changed items, the check engine light came on again. Took vehicle back to mechanic and after research and spending $604.71 in repair charges, my mechanic, after conferring with dealership personnel was advised there was a problem with the #2 cylinder. Took vehicle to orchard dealership and after additional expense found that they did warranty work on the cylinder. My mechanic advised that the initial repairs were unnecessary as the plugs and coil were fine. I contacted Chrysler for reimbursement. They denied same stating that I did not have the vehicle serviced at a dealership initially. Prior to the repair the vehicle would hesitate and balk when driving. This is my daughters vehicle [xxx] along with our 2 grandchildren. Chrysler did not admit to a vehicle problem with this engine until my mechanic went to the dealership. Warranty repairs were then made. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
