We have classified the 2 complaints from 2004 Dodge Caravan about POWER TRAIN into the following categories.
My first gas tank fill after purchasing the used vehicle resulted with constant stalling for the next 1/2 mile. this has been going on for the last 4 years. i do not overfill the tank. the vehicle now stalls about 80% of the time after i fill the tank. after about 6/10th of a mile ,the problem corrects itself. one time i come very close to having an accident when after leaving the gas station i was going down a hill and had to make a right turn at an intersection, the vehicle stalled out & i had to put the gear selector in neutral to try to restart the vehicle while it was moving & making a right turn at the same time ! i am now forced to park the car for a few minutes after fill up before i can safely take it back on the roadway. this is an ongoing problem for the 2004 -2007 chrysler & dodge minivans. i have viewed many complaints on line about the same issue. does someone have to give up their life before a recall is issued? there is a defective valve in the gas tanks & the tanks have to be replaced ! *tr
2004 dodge caravan sxt. ' whine' noise and high frequency vibration in the steering wheel. noise is most noticeable in cold weather and when wheel is turned right or left. vehicle has 54 thousand miles now. dealer did a factory bulletin on this issue at about 30 thousand, did not fix problem and resulted in the smell of fluid/chemical in the passenger compartment that was very slow to go away. disgusting ! *tr
While shifting gears the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably. consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. mechanic could not duplicate the problem. *ak
