Bought a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan from dealer with about 56000 miles on it. Idled a little rough, but had one in the past with same issue. Within 5000 miles, my engine light came on with misfire in cylinder 2. took to dealer, they changed plugs and coil. Within 500 miles, same light came on, misfire cylinder 2. took back and they moved plug and coil. Drove for probably 600 miles and light came back on. Took it back to dealer and after digging discovered low compression in cylinder 2. they talked to Dodge dealership and they advised this is a common issue in these motors. The vehicle now has to be taken to the Dodge dealership to be fixed since the head has to be worked on. My dealership doesn't have the tools to properly fix. Luckily I purchased extended warranty, however if this is a common problem, I am requesting a look into making it a recall across the board so no other individual has the same issue.

The contact owns a 2018 Dodge Caravan. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the vehicle shuddered and stalled. The contact stated that the power steering and brakes were also inoperable. The vehicle was restarted after several attempts. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

Grand Caravan

  • 43,000 miles
Engine stalls without warning when gas gauge gets to 1/4 of tank. It has happened when going 70 mph on highway, in stop and go traffic on highway, going slow speeds on a residential street, or at a stop sign. Loose power steering and power brakes. Have to come to complete stop, put it in park, and restart it. No warning, no engine misfires, just abrupt sudden stop. The only common thing is the level of gasoline in the van. As long as it is filled before it gets to 1/4 tank, it doesn't have problems. Took to dealer who could not duplicate problem (had more gas in it) and they said there were no codes. They would not perform diagnostic tests on all systems. Asked them to test power control module since same problem was subject to recall of other 2018 Dodge Caravan under recall no. U87 for Chrysler and NHTSA campaign id 18V524000, but they would not, even though vehicle was still under the warranty provided as a certified used vehicle.

Vehicle is stopping very slow. Also is jerking when going from idle to pull off. Breaks require additional stopping room. These issues began immediately after purchase in September 2019. I have seen several online complaints for this same vehicle. There are recalls on similar vehicles.
