The engine on my 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan is skipping, running rough, and is unreliable. This is a safety issue due to the improper operation of the engine when pulling out into busy roadways. The check engine light is on. Auto technician found Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0302 -??Cylinder #2 Misfire Detected.-?? The technician replaced the necessary components to repair this fault code and cleared the DTC from the ECM. The check engine light continues to come on with an active Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0302. Engine continues to misfire, skip, and is unreliable. A quick google search will show that there are thousands of people with the same exact issue. This is a manufacture defect and a safety concern. Pulling out into a busy roadway with this unresolved vehicle issue could potentially cause injury to myself, my wife, or my four children. Furthermore, any accident or injury to customers that purchased this product believing it to be a safe vehicle for their family would be negligence on Chrysler-??s part because this issue has been known. This is wording straight from the manufacturer-??s sales brochure, -??For more than three decades, Grand Caravan has been the go-to vehicle for parents, weekend warriors and small business owners.-?? -??Simply put, no other vehicle holds the confidence of families, their hobbies and their livelihoods with as much ease. In our opinion, nothing tops this original. Take control of any situation with the power that comes from 283 horsepower-??. This was marketed and sold as the -??go-to vehicle for parents-??. I would think that this go-to vehicle would be safer. Simply put, Chrysler claims that -??no other vehicle holds the confidence of families, their hobbies and their livelihoods with as much ease-?? I can tell you when I pull out into a busy intersection or highway and I fell this vehicle skipping and hesitating, it doesn-??t give me very much -??ease-?? or -??confidence-??.

this Dodge Caravan has an engine problem with cylinder 2 misfire that has occurred in numerous vans with this motor. this van was purchased to aid my handicap wife and will no longer pass the Georgia Emissions Test required to purchase a valid tag. i have spent the normal repair dollars for the basic items suggested, however, everyone with this problem considers it a manufactures defect. Social media is full of owners with the same complaint. this problem seems to occur just after the factory warranty has expired, so dodge is not wanting to cover the expense. to have a 2019 model vehicle that can not pass the safety emission test is quite up setting to me. There needs to be a recall on this issue or an exempt status for this vehicle, since Dodge is not standing behind their product. By the way, my family has 2 of these exact vans, and both are failing in the same manner. this failure is not an isolated problem, and we as consumers need help to correct this deficiency. i have been struggling with this for over a year now

The van started shaking on a trip. Codes P0172 and P0175 have been on for nearly 2 months. Many parts have been replaced. Spark plugs, o2 sensor, fuel injectors, ignition coils, and battery.

We've owned this vehicle about 3 years and the check engine light keeps coming on. The code it throws is misfire 2. The mechanic changed the spark plug. That didn't clear the code. They ran a compression test on the cylinder, and it came back as low compression. They stated they've seen several like this and its been the cylinder head. I only have about 85,000 miles on the vehicle and he said I shouldn't be having these issues. The mechanic said they googled and found that this has been a reoccurring problem with the grand caravans. Why isn't Dodge offering an extended warranty for the newer models?

The Oil Filter Housing Unit was loose, causing oil to slow-leak into the spark plugs, resulting in my engine misfiring. According to the mechanic that worked on my vehicle, this is common in a lot of newer vans like the Caravan and the Chrysler Town And Country. I ended up having to pay about $900 to have the spark plugs and the Oil Filter Housing Unit replaced.

Took our 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan in for a regular oil change. The next day the check engine light came on. After a diagnostic, KB Auto showed that 2 cylinders were misfiring. They mentioned that they had recently serviced many Dodge/Chryslers with the same issue. Further research shows that several complaints have been made. We were told that we could continue to drive the van. If the check engine light came on and continued to blink, the engine would likely shut off and we would have to be towed. We purchased the van in June 2019 with 18000 miles. We have only had it 3 years and a major engine repair is needed. The repaid cost is estimated to be $2700. We only owe $9,000. This is absolutely ridiculous. The engines need to be recalled.

Several times now, intermittently, my 2019 van has turned off on me as I am driving or am stopped at a red light, although most commonly it has occurred when I was driving. The van has stopped while I am driving various speeds, notably around the 10-40 mph. It will turn on once I come to a full stop, shift to park, and turn the key again. I've had the battery and alternator checked and they are in perfect working condition. This is a very dangerous situation.

Before 50K miles the transmission went out and a cylinder blew at the same time. There was no warning this would happen and when it happened we were in traffic and caused the vehicle to jump almost hitting another car. This was repaired by Dodge. At the time of pick up the technician in the shop told us that this is a common issue with these vans and he sees this all the time. Also the breaks have not worked properly since purchase. An online form shows many owners have this same issue and have determined that the break system is under rated for the size of vehicle.

On the 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan equipped with remote start via key fob, the following hazardous senario can occur. The vehicle is parked in an "attached" garage with all doors to that space closed. The remote start function can be activated nearby from the dwelling, unintentionally, and without human awareness, since activation of this function only requires 2 clicks of the remote start button within 5 seconds. This can occur with key fob in the pocket, for example, or by other random means. The vehicle, functioning as designed, will start in the enclosed space, and run for up to 15 minutes. Substantial exhaust gases can accumulate in the garage space during this period, with substantial risk of carbon monoxide existing in that space and permeation into adjacent living spaces. This owner contends that the vehicle designers should have anticipated this and similar senarios, and should have provided, by design, a means by which the remote start function can be disabled/enabled as desired by the vehicle owner or by Dodge service. Presently, there is no feature to disable remote start. Local Dodge service indicated that the only option is a key fob without remote start button. This represents a potential safety issue which should be evaluated by the manufacturer.
