2005 Dodge Caravan. I had an engine light come on and heard a clicking noise in the engine. I had it checked by a non-Dodge dealer and he researched and was told that this engine has had problems with cracked flywheels causing shifting problems. I thought it unusual that a main part such as a fly wheel would crack. I took it to classic Dodge in denton, tx and was told that the flywheel is cracked and needs to be replaced at a cost of $1080 have any other reports of this type been sent?
2005 Dodge Caravan 2.4 engine. I have had the vehicle in twice under warranty to repair a "squeal" of the belt. It sound like the belt is not traveling correctly over the tensioner pulley. Now it has started the same problem again. Seem to do it after putting about 3000 mile on the new belt. (third time).
While driving the entire electrical system goes out a leaves the van with no power. After not being able to move off the road and 5 attempts to start the van it started. This has occurred twice and the dealer can never find any thing wrong. Other incidents www.topix.net/forum/autos/Dodge-Caravan/
