My heat in the Grand Caravan stopped blowing heat in -10 below weather. I called Dodge customer service and they said take the vehicle to a dealer and have the issue diagnosed and call them back. The HVAC system needed to be updated apparently ( which means im not the only person that had this issue and is no fault of my own) and would cost $105 to reprogram the system. I called Dodge and they said nothing could be done as it was no longer under factory warranty even though their system programming was faulty. This is a safety concern as it has been one of the coldest winters on record and I purchased this van with 34000 miles on it June of 2014 to Transport my 4 month old baby and ive only put 6000 miles on it.

After (7) months we are still waiting for the resolution of recall #P25/NHTSA 14V-234. After contacting our dealer several times, they still do not have the part to correct the problem from Chrysler. This is an unreasonable amount of time to wait for a large corporation to fix a rather insignificant problem.

Grand Caravan 6-cyl

  • 78,000 miles
While driving my 2012 3.6L Dodge Grand Caravan with a 160 amp alternator the battery light came on, within 5 miles the transmission control system stopped working. Further all of the system lights on the dash came on and the radio and HVAC system stopped functioning. The cause of these system conditions was the denso TN421000-0770 alternator failing. I believe that this is the same alternator that is used on vehicles that are included in NHTSA recall no. : 14V-634. Chrysler claims that the alternator fails only on cars that are equipped with ehps. I believe that my alternator failed in a similar fashion to this recall. The Dodge and Chrysler minivans that are equipped with a 3.6L engine and the denso 160 amp alternator should be recalled. In the end my car stalled in the middle of the road which could have resulted in a terrible accident had I been on the highway.
