Common problems with Dodge Grand Caravan The current generation Dodge Grand Caravan, which debuted in 2008, has complained of a number of unresolved issues, including premature brake wear, engine stalling, difficult gear changes, transmission failure, and poor air conditioning.

Over the years, I’ve been the real beneficiary of the miraculous power of Google and the forums. I am almost sorry that I took so much information and just gave so little. I currently have exactly two Chrysler / Dodge products. (1996 Dodge Grand Caravan and 2002 Town Chrysler and Country Limited AWD.I) spent many hours troubleshooting and repairing cars and of course reading what I did to get them fixed. My focus is on the 96th generation trailer that I owned and worked for the longest.

How do I reset my Dodge Caravan?

Many of the problems I encountered are already common here and posted on the forums with detailed descriptions of all cases, why and how to fix them. I won’t spend much time there. The rest of the problems have much less elaborate details. Let’s go:

1996 Dodge Grand Caravan LE

242,000 miles on it and still works fine (after all repairs).
My mother-in-law drove an amazing first 120,000 miles and in the early days of the pickup there were many highways.
3.8 HP V6 Engine
During his life, he recreated two attacks: onewell for information over 120,000 miles away, and another for that exact point 242,000 miles away. (The second appears to be going through a major Midwest television network.)
The engine was still powerful. Has a good “fastener” and performance control.
A computer or ECM could not do this even once during their life – about 180-190 thousand.
For several years he had the infamous “intermittent problem with phantom wipers.” Finally, my partner put enough pressure on me to fix it. In my case, the problem was the faulty wiper multifunction switch itself. Changing this fixed this issue.
I lit the bottom coil. (Set of solid state secondary windings with 6 pivot pins) This caused a 4×4 truck to accidentally stop. This put the most pressure and stress on me on the grounds that it can happen at any moment. (On a website, etc.) This crash happened alongside the most dangerous crashes in the short history of myvan. If I’m not mistaken, it clearly failed in the end. When I changed the program, intermittent errors did not return anymore.
Somewhere about 190,000 miles away, I experienced a truly mysterious thrill at a speed of about 40 miles per hour. Oddly enough, from the passenger side it turned out to be half that. Apparently there was some kind of wear on all internal CV joints, which caused shaking. I preferred to alternate the two half waves in most places. This solved this problem. Yes
I once modified a cooler. A plastic tank rang somewhere near the radiator cap, I remember. Since the van’s cooling system will not have the proper pressure, it will evaporate and leak only when it gets hot. There I was stupid to transport replacement cars. Cracks in these tanks made it easier to overheat because the cooling system was never pressurized. I have to do it faster. I never reported it to report coolant, but it was dangerous to use it that way.
Soon after, I replaced the fuel pump. Does not start. DenominationFuel pressure connected to the fuel rail indicated zero pressure when the ignition key was fully turned. I lifted the pick-up and hit the bottom of the fuel tank with a hammer and immediately heard most of the “vortex” of the pump’s starting thrust. I thought the algorithm brushes were worn out or dirty, so I decided to change the pump. If you do, make sure the correct o-ring is installed correctly and make a good wrench yourself to tighten the o-ring. I had to stack my tank on a pallet and tighten the retaining ring, just done, I didn’t seal it more tightly the first time. I recommend using a water soap spray so you can spray the retaining ring area of the fuel pump module to check for leaks. Squeeze the fuel tank lightly with a small amount of compressed air. Be very ** careful with this ** – remember what the experts are now saying that the only thing that might be needed for a huge increase is a source of inflammation. ** Be very careful with the patient and follow all exact replacement procedures the filling pump. If you float down the key and light a spark, you are TOAST! Get down to the ground and tank. Do not allow spilled gasoline to come near you while you work. Finally, work in a well-ventilated area with no other sources of ignition. Check out the exterior of your garage. Always keep the fire extinguisher too far away from you. I never had an “event” when I did mine – but I saw the potential for it !!
Once I had to change the engine mountings. They ripped and allowed the engine to move too much as it accelerated.
Poor swivel rod connection failing due to worn rod influence bushings.
I have changed the inner and outer guardrails.
Over a period of 200 thousand + one radiator fan had noticeably noisy motors – rough bearings. I found a good quality device in the aftermarket for about $ 60 and decided to replace the gaming cooler entirely.
I’m having a relay / flasher control error with cold and cracked solder connections. Lay out the solder like tips connect the board securely to the problem. This did not happen until the moment when he reached 240K (at this time).

While there are many reasons your personal Dodge Grand Caravan won’t start, the three most common are a dead battery, an alternator problem, or a faulty starter motor.

There were other little things, of course. The above letter is exactly what, in my opinion, will be the most useful information for other forum users. It sounds like a lot of things, and I think there is no doubt about it. Not everyone can own one of these things in the hundreds of thousands. Other wealthier people have definitely given up on the van. I am in the “very middle class” category … with a lot of mechanical work and repairs done in my life. Although I am not an auto mechanic by profession, my life as a real service technician is very similar. (So I decided to keep fixing it.) Even combined with everything that happened, I think it was cheaper compared to paying the car for something new (since all the work is done by me). He is looking for everything, many, many kilometers. This is equivalent to about 10 cycles around the equator of the Earth, but with several, many stops, starts, braking cycles, the motor can stall instart up, run in cold weather, etc. I’m sure it’s better to have your own Honda or Toyota Jeep. Maybe the day I’ll be “richer” when that happens!
