The first thing to go wrong with this vehicle was the television stopped working and they fixed it once and it went out again but i did not take it back because it would have cost me out of pocket .the next thing to go wrong was the driver side back door would not open they had to keep it for a day or two for that. the next thing to go wrong was the cylinder head they took a week to fix it but the car still had weak engine performance and engine misfire so i took it back for them to check it again and they could not find anything wrong with it. the windshield wiper squirter is also broken. the next thing to go wrong was the gear shifter, the car would not move and was stuck in drive with key stuck in the ignition we had just gotten in the car .i tried to turn the car off and back on but the engine would not crank. i had to have it towed in twice and rent a car on my own insurance doesn't provide rental unless you have a accident. when that happened my family of six was in the car. i had to pay for everything out of pocket. the problems started after 2 years and the car is only three years old and four more years to pay for it .i was advise by an agent at dodge jeep chrysler tallahassee fl that if i continued to pay my warranty would be extended.

I brought my new dodge caravan at arrigo sawgrass florida on august 2016. it currently has 72,000 miles, the warranty expired at 60,000 miles. i have done all required maintainance at there dealer, this vam has never given me problems before, and has only been seen by them. on april 7, it suddenly stopped working and it seem.to have transmission problems. i took it to the dealer and they informed me the transmission main pump broke and i need to.replace the transmission with a new on. repair cost is 4884.00. this is unacceptable, as i brought it new, amd they are now offering 3yr 100,000 warranty if i do the job with them. doing some.research on line i saw they had a recall for dodge caravan 2016-16v461000, s44. this recall.was effective for units until july 2016, this unit is from august 2016, so i'm pretty sure this is a manufacturer issue and they should be responsable regardless my warranty ended 12,000 miles ago. the vehicle can not be moved and i pay 584.81 monthly.
I've been having electrical problems since i got the van at some point while i'm driving all the gages would start flashing acting like it was trying to die some cases it did some cases it did not but when i stopped the dashboard had lost all power to it no ignition whatsoever i still had working radio headlights and everything else whenever i would park the car it could take up to an hour or more to get in the vehicle because it would not respond to the key fobs you would be sitting down minding your own business and then all the sudden it would work left me stranded trying to get to work my child to school and then last night while i was driving down the highway i started hearing a noise and then all a sudden the transmission started slipping revving up to 6000 rpm while i'm crossing over a bridge on a major highway barely was able to get across the bridge leaving me stranded in an unsafe part of town i ran a code scanner on the vehicle it shows code u0141 that was stored and p083b which is the transmission fluid pump and it never turn on a check engine light until i was less than a mile from the dealer after i had to drive to the dealer because the roadside assistance number i had i could not contact them. i do know that some of the vehicles were under recall i'm not sure if this one was and it was fixed or not but is not showing an active recall but it is not safe the images i shared i was actually driving forward and as you can see the lights came on and at 1 point it actually showed me as being in reverse it beeps and goes crazy
I was driving home at night, around 35mph. all of a sudden the transmission and rpms went off the charts, all the way up to 7000rpms, any sort of acceleration by tapping the gas pedal caused the vehicle to malfunction. i had my daughter in the car and tried to get pulled off to the side of the road and get the vehicle stopped. once i got it stopped it was undrivable at this point and had to call a tow service. my local mechanic deemed it to be the transmission pump went out while i was driving. no warning, no lights, nothihg. now the van is at the dodge dealer for inspection. i was told that grand caravans had a recall on transmission pumps between the dates of july 31, 2015 and april 18,2016 (mine was manufactrured october 2015) even though it falls in those dates, my vin# was not attached to the recall. (s44 is the recall number, also the nhtsa campaign number is 16v461000) this was a serious malfunction, and could have been more serious if i would have been driving just a little faster. at one point, the vehicle kept accelerating without the gas pedal being pushed. we were lucky i was able to get the vehicle to the side of the road. once the van was shut off, there was a burning odor coming from the vehicle. i have looked and found several others with the same issue as mine, who were not included in the recall and should of been. hopefully an investigation will open soon, before someone gets seriously injured.

The transmission is all messed up. when you get in and start up the van and put it in gear it acts like you are feathering a manual transmission and it will slowly start to take off. when sifting through the gears it will sometimes slip, the rpms will rev up and down then jump into gear. sometimes when it down shifts it will jerk when we are stopping, i have learned that this is call a bump stop by the techs.also if we have 3 or 4 people in the van and we try and back up it jerks violently, it feels like you are on a bucking bronco. i have taken it to the dealer, audobon chrysler in henderson ky. they keep telling me that they can't duplicate the problem, and that their are no recalls on this van. it's funny that i can go on line and find all kinds of recalls about the power train and many other problems with the 2016 dodge grand caravans, but the dealer can't seem to find any recalls??? i can't recall the exact date when we purchased the van, i would have to look it up,it was about a year ago and we are still fighting with the dealer as of 10/24/2019 because the problem is ongoing and getting worse??
2016 dodge grand caravan. consumer writes in regard to transmission failure. *as *tr
This is what you get with dodge!! - purchased my dodge grand caravan less than 2 years ago and the transmition is gone less than 1,000 miles after the warranty. they will not be helping me at all.. listen to how they treat their customer's below!
Transmission pump at about 20-30 mph the transmission does not shift smoothly or at 40mph it slips into neutral and revs to 4000 rpms but the speed does not increase.
While driving to work my wife noticed the van coasted to a traffic light while in drive. a loud whine could be heard when she accelerated passed the traffic light almost like a old power steering pump going bad. the van barely made it to the parking lot. that night we tried to see if the van was drivable going home. the same loud sound happened under acceleration the van would barely move again and when it finally caught it launched the van forward. leaving the parking lot the van no longer would engage in drive and coasted to another parking lot that's where we had the van towed to the nearest dealer. the dealer installed a new transmission because the vehicle is still under warranty.
The transmission had zero known issues prior to this incident. the transmission began losing power and shifting aggressively. the transmission would shift into drive and move one out of every five attempts. the transmission in drive acted as though it was in neutral. upon taking the vehicle to a shop it was discovered that a bulletin has been published about this issue yet no recall at this time. at one point the vehicle lost power going uphill and began to roll backwards. this issue poses a safety issue especially consider the problem developed from a known issue and inside 24 hours. potentially related: nhtsa campaign number: 16v461000
At 60,500 miles while driving at 60mph the transmission lost hydraulic power and we were forced to get towed from the highway to a local aamco transmission repair shop. the vehicle was diagnosed as having no hydraulic pressure and the mechanic theorized that the hydraulic pump had ceased and was no longer providing adequate fluid to the gears. there is a recall 16v461000 that is for this specific problem, yet despite falling in the range of the recalled vehicles manufacturing dates, we were told that we had no recourse because our specific vin number was not on the list. right car, right model, right year, right manufacturing date range, exactly the same issue as the recall, and yet we are not on the list?? how is that possible? we were fortunate to be able to pull safely to the shoulder of the highway.
About 3700 miles the a/c stopped blowing cold air. vehicle equipped with r134a. put my gauges on vehicle way low add some stop leak w/leak detector. found that the valve in rear a/c leaking. around same time driver rear sliding door stopped unlocking and opening, the child lock lever moved by itself. so i moved it back to disable and that worked for about a weak. then it started to make a noise like gears were jammed or rubbing together and then it just stopped. dorr remains unlocked now w/no sound from actuator. transmission seems to slip and lose power.
This vehicle was purchased with less than 2k miles on it and in the month timeframe i have had it, it has stalled 3 times on me. once while driving on a busy road and twice in my driveway. the time on the busy road was when i was keeping up with traffic at about 40 miles per hour. the second and third time was when i was in my driveway and i had no sooner started the van that it shut off immediately. both instances i have had 1/4 tank of gas. when towed to dealer, no codes came on so i was told there was no way to determine what went wrong with vehicle.
