The engine stops for no reason and does not show a check engine light. The engine can be re-started, but can then stop again for no reason. We have had the transmission worked on, but there are still issues.

Oil filter adapter/oil cooler. While getting the transmission replaced that had a total failure at 110,000 miles while enroute to get the recommended 120,000 mile service, the dealer informed us that the oil cooler had a decent sized crack near the base and required replacing. They told us the could order the part but wouldn't know when it would be in because there were 14,772 units on back order. He searched the system and found 1 available 2 hours away. I left the dealer and drive straight there and it too was gone with no projected arrival of more. I was told if I kept the oil topped up and kept an eye on it, it would be ok and not cause engine damage. I have not spent enough on oil to keep it topped up that I could have paid for the part of it we're available. Online aftermarket sources are sold out with no idea when they'll get more. As of 09:30, 15 March 2021, the parts department of landers cdjr in bossier city, Louisiana confirmed that there are now over 15,000 units on back order and when requesting to order, they don't even have an estimated wait time. Went direct with Dodge and was told that they would 'escalate the review to try and get the part to the dealer'. not sure how that will happen when they don't have a supply to meet the demand. Each dealer I've called in a 6 hour radius from my location has said it should be a recall with it being such a faulty design of plastic resting directly on top of the motor but that Fiat won't do that. My biggest concern is the oil leaking down, sprays on to the exhaust creating the potential for a fire hazard.

Oil housing unit failed at 72,000 miles. Dodge stated it should be a recall, they can't even keep up with the parts to replace it when it fails. They told me to use an after market part that would fail but it would at least get the car back in my possession.

Van engine stops periodically if there is an abrupt/panic stop. On a fast stop, the engine RPM is erratic, and sometimes feels like it is going to stop. Putting the van in park or neutral, and you can start the engine again. So far, this has only happened in city driving.

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.

I got the vehicle yesterday and the check engine light was on so the dealer do a obd 2 scan and it show a miss fire in the number 2 cinders so we was think it just need spark plugs so I took it to Dodge and had new spark plugs put on and it did nothing to fix the problem so they suggested it was the fuel injecter for the number 2 cinders so I had them replaced it and that didn't fix the problem so they came back to told me they think it is the heads in the van the check engine light stays on and I only feel the miss fire when I am idling no other time the guy at Dodge said they run into this alot with this year and others I have done some research and find alot of people R having the same problem I am starting to think is could be a manufacturing problem tomorrow I am taking the van somewhere else to have a second opinion done

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.

The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan. While driving approximately 38 mph, the vehicle started to misfire and hesitate. Also, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was driven to gator Chrysler Dodge (840 harbor city blvd, melbourne, fl 32901) where it was determined that the entire left cylinder head needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was unavailable.

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
