It started off as the can stalling occasionally when I came to a stop. Then it became more and more frequent. Video is available to see the RPM move and then drop to 0. I then have to restart the vehicle which causes a delay which other drivers are not patient about. They immediately want to go and I have to flash my hazards and restart the van. Mechanical issue is unknown by the mechanic and dealer service department.

Travelling at the speed of 55 miles per hour the vehicle seemed to completely shut off on its own, thus causing immediate loss of power steering and power brakes. I was able to very carefully bring the vehicle to a complete stop after a half a mile or so. Fortunately, I was travelling on a long straight county road without any surrounding traffic. Once I turned the ignition totally off and back on again at the side of the road, everything seems to operate as normal. No check engine light, no other warnings came on thereafter. After doing some research online I found customer complaints experiencing the very same issues with certain Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles, however Dodge doesn-??t seem to have any sort of recall for this extremely hazardous issue. It seems like it may be a faulty ignition switch problem!

Transmission Went out Last year I just found out I could report it this seems to be a common issue with these Vans and would be nice to get some help with repair costs as I was told around 6k to repair. Also the flywheel has a crack in it I ordered a new oem replacement hoping the transmission shop can replace that while they do the repairs.

We own a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan with 72k miles on it. In February of 2023 we started to notice it did not seem as responsive on acceleration; it was especially noticeable on highway entrances ramps. Shortly after, the check engine light came on. We took it in to a local repair shop and were advised we needed spark plugs and coils replaced, but that did not solve the issue, and said we would need to take it to a dealer. We took the vehicle to our local Dodge dealership, and after ~$900 in diagnostics, they advised we would need an entire new cylinder, as the old one had been warped. A vehicle with only 72k miles should not need a new cylinder, the folks at the dealership even admitted as much. The total repair ended up costing ~$4k. I did some research and found the 2011-2013 Grand Caravans had a recall for the exact same issue, and after searching through the various complaints on the NHTSA website for the 2017 model, it seems clear this is still an issue. This is clearly an issue with the manufacturing process that has existed since 2011, and a new recall should be issued for Grand Caravans through at least 2017.

I have 2017 Dodge Caravan, I loves this van I recently went to the shop to do routine repairs. Also get the engine light checked, the mechanic stated I need a tune up. A few days later after getting the tune up check engine light came back on, and van begin to ride rough and shake. The van was struggling to keep up with city speed limit and engine light came back on so I took the van back to the shop they checked engine light and it read cylinder 2 is back firing and get a tune up. That did't seemed right so the mechanic checked previous work, there was no problems with the parts they used for the tune up, the mechanic looked a little further to find out why the engine light still on. The mechanic said I need a cylinder, they told me to go to the dealer because they don't have that special tools to fix the cylinder. I said how much to replace the cylinder the mechanic said about 2,000 dollars or depending on the damages to the engine because of bad cylinder. They also said there were some coolant and other substance leaking onto the coil, wires causing damage to the engine, also in a short time the spark plugs and coils will be effected again. The mechanic said this can be very expensive to repair and I can't use my remote starter while the engine light is on this is so inconvenience. I am so upset I worked hard at keeping up repairs, keeping van nice and clean inside and out, I was just to the point of paying off my car loan off finally owning the van. Now this situation forcing me to make a decision keep my investment or trade it off, get back into debt and having a large car note, I don't want that I am so heart broken over this situation and not having the money to fix the van it's just to much. I was blind sided never, I would never thought this would happen to me and my family of six. OMG!

1. The engine failed, and the engine light came on. It is available for inspection upon request. 2. It started shaking, slowing down, and it felt like it was going to stall, therefore, putting myself and others at risk. To this day, once in awhile I continue to feel it shake. 3. I've spoken to a mechanic about it, and he knew of this issue. He gave me information about it and referred me to the manufacturer. No others have inspected it. 4. The Dept of Motor Vehicles, and it failed inspection today on 7/2/22. 5. Check engine light appeared when the problem first started. They first appeared back around November 2021. Note: The spark plugs and coils were replaced 3 times in an effort to resolve this issue, and after that I found out that there was an issue reported with this back in 2011-2013 and is still occurring even though the company has stated that they fixed the problem according to my research.

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.
