Transmission pump failure. Same issue as previously recalled models from 2013-2017. Transmission failed while driving. Vehicle will no longer shift. Vehicle is maintained properly and up to date on all other repairs/maintenance. Code pulled at mechanic is P1790. No response from Dodge. Any interaction is either ended by their representative disconnecting or rerouting me to a department that has no clue what to do.
Number 2 cylinder is misfiring for 3 months. Have changed spark plugs an wires with the coils twice an does not fix the problem. Have 93000 miles.was told its a head issue with dodge on this motor.
I had the check engine light on for an unknown amount of time, as the initially lookover of the vehicle with the dealership advised it was a gascap sensor. However, they did attempt to fix by changing the sparkplugs when it was inspected June 2024 which didn't correct the issue. Since then, it has been looked at by 2 mechanic shops due to the following problem. When I drive at 40+ mph, the car starts shaking violently. When ran with diagnostic/ testing the engine, it was found that Cylinder 2 keeps misfiring/ has a pressure issue, even after replacing the spark plugs and the fuel injector. Even after replacing those components, the cylinder misfire, lowered compression, and the shaking while driving all still persisted. They suggested fixing the issue with replacing the entire engine and avoiding driving until then, as driving it could potentially cause the engine to stop working while driving/ cause an accident. The dealership advised the engine issue would fall under the powertrain. It is available for review, as I have avoided driving it since, due to worries that the car will either stop working while I drive it, or the engine could result in an accident.
My 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT check engine light went on about 6 months ago. The engine was running rough and the mechanic said it could be an issue with one of the cylinders misfiring. They replaced the spark plugs and censors and it did not solve the issue. After some online research, it sounds like there are many 2019 dodge grand caravans where cylinder 2 seizes up and stops the engine dead. This could be dangerous if it happened while driving. The van has only 96,000 miles and should not have engine issues.
hard misfire and rough idle creating issues while in traffic, almost rear ended multiple times because of loss of acceleration. inspection by mechanic says misfire in cylinder 2 couldn't be fixed. (multiple coils and spark plug replacements) mechanice made contact with a GM certified mechanic who indicated this is a common problem in the 3.6 engine used in these vehicles. Issue is deep within engine and requires complete engine replacement. It was explained to me that the engine could keep going as-is, or debris could begin breaking off inside the engine and cause total loss at any time. researched and found similar issue with 2012 engines.
Cylinder 2 misfire requiring valve replacement. Seems to be a common problem with this motor and very expensive repair. Earlier years Dodge extended warranty to 150000 miles but the same issue with later year motors still exist without extending warranty.
Check engine light came on. Had it looked at and fixed. Misfire cyclinder 2. Had all sparks plugs and coils replaced. Engine light keeps coming on and off. Had it looked at by a dodge dealership who said they have fixed dozens of 2018-2019 dodge grand caravan for this same issue. They are having to go in a completely replace the top of the motor. This is a $5,000 repair. Not cheap at all for a $22,000 vehicle.
My engine light came on reading stated #2 misfire. I have had spark plugs, wires, coil boot intake gaskets replaced. Now #2 misfire is reading a permanent code. I need to know why this is not a recall on my van there are reports of thousands of Dodges having this happen and has become quite costly for me. I'm afraid to drive the vehicle because it could apparently cause my valves to crack and cost a large amount of money to repair I'm [XXX] very sickly, I also still make payments on the vehicle.

the vehicle has a permanent cylinder 2 misfire. the misfire has at times produced an unexpected change in the vehicle's acceleration which could be dangerous in certain traffic conditions. The vehicle has been inspected by an independent service center who determined that the source of the misfire is either a mechanical component inside the engine or part of the valve train. I have been told that this issue could result in sudden engine lockup during operation.
I had a check engine light come on for a misfire in cylinder 4. I replaced all the things needed to get this check engine light off and it still comes in for the same issue. My car is now currently at the dealer I purchased it feom so they can do further inspection. I decided to do some research online and found out that multiple people have been experiencing the same issue. I paid more then enough to try and get this issue resolved yet it still continues. I believe as well as others that this should be looked into as a possible recall of some sort due to multiple owners of the same vehicle having the same exact issue. I've also had my transmission replaced because after the light first came on a few days later the transmission went. I feel this can be a safety issue as well because the car can stall and shut down due to the misfire continuing to happen.
The engine on my 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan is skipping, running rough, and is unreliable. This is a safety issue due to the improper operation of the engine when pulling out into busy roadways. The check engine light is on. Auto technician found Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0302 -??Cylinder #2 Misfire Detected.-?? The technician replaced the necessary components to repair this fault code and cleared the DTC from the ECM. The check engine light continues to come on with an active Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0302. Engine continues to misfire, skip, and is unreliable. A quick google search will show that there are thousands of people with the same exact issue. This is a manufacture defect and a safety concern. Pulling out into a busy roadway with this unresolved vehicle issue could potentially cause injury to myself, my wife, or my four children. Furthermore, any accident or injury to customers that purchased this product believing it to be a safe vehicle for their family would be negligence on Chrysler-??s part because this issue has been known. This is wording straight from the manufacturer-??s sales brochure, -??For more than three decades, Grand Caravan has been the go-to vehicle for parents, weekend warriors and small business owners.-?? -??Simply put, no other vehicle holds the confidence of families, their hobbies and their livelihoods with as much ease. In our opinion, nothing tops this original. Take control of any situation with the power that comes from 283 horsepower-??. This was marketed and sold as the -??go-to vehicle for parents-??. I would think that this go-to vehicle would be safer. Simply put, Chrysler claims that -??no other vehicle holds the confidence of families, their hobbies and their livelihoods with as much ease-?? I can tell you when I pull out into a busy intersection or highway and I fell this vehicle skipping and hesitating, it doesn-??t give me very much -??ease-?? or -??confidence-??.
this Dodge Caravan has an engine problem with cylinder 2 misfire that has occurred in numerous vans with this motor. this van was purchased to aid my handicap wife and will no longer pass the Georgia Emissions Test required to purchase a valid tag. i have spent the normal repair dollars for the basic items suggested, however, everyone with this problem considers it a manufactures defect. Social media is full of owners with the same complaint. this problem seems to occur just after the factory warranty has expired, so dodge is not wanting to cover the expense. to have a 2019 model vehicle that can not pass the safety emission test is quite up setting to me. There needs to be a recall on this issue or an exempt status for this vehicle, since Dodge is not standing behind their product. By the way, my family has 2 of these exact vans, and both are failing in the same manner. this failure is not an isolated problem, and we as consumers need help to correct this deficiency. i have been struggling with this for over a year now
The contact owns a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull off to the side of the road. The contact was then able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the following day after the vehicle was parked, he attempted to start the vehicle, but the engine failed to turn over. The dealer was notified of the failure however, the contact was advised to take the vehicle to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The van started shaking on a trip. Codes P0172 and P0175 have been on for nearly 2 months. Many parts have been replaced. Spark plugs, o2 sensor, fuel injectors, ignition coils, and battery. The mechanic replaced gaskets and fuel pump. Codes won't go away. The van randomly takes multiple time to start. It shudders and has acceleration issues when the fuel I low.
We've owned this vehicle about 3 years and the check engine light keeps coming on. The code it throws is misfire 2. The mechanic changed the spark plug. That didn't clear the code. They ran a compression test on the cylinder, and it came back as low compression. They stated they've seen several like this and its been the cylinder head. I only have about 85,000 miles on the vehicle and he said I shouldn't be having these issues. The mechanic said they googled and found that this has been a reoccurring problem with the grand caravans. Why isn't Dodge offering an extended warranty for the newer models?
The Oil Filter Housing Unit was loose, causing oil to slow-leak into the spark plugs, resulting in my engine misfiring. According to the mechanic that worked on my vehicle, this is common in a lot of newer vans like the Caravan and the Chrysler Town And Country. I ended up having to pay about $900 to have the spark plugs and the Oil Filter Housing Unit replaced.
