2019 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

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 was trying to roll the 3rd row seats in my van into the storage area, when trying to get the headrest to be in a lower position (in order to stow) the headrest snapped forward quickly and hit my niece in the face. She was inside the vehicle trying to put the 3rd row seats down. Thankfully her nose is not broke, but she hurt it pretty bad. There is no warning that this could happen and I think it is a safety issue.

On 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan the side sliding door does not lock. When van is locked, the side sliding door can be opened from the outside (similar issue was reported on 2016 models) while van is supposedly locked. Safety and theft problem.

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”.

Misfire cylinder #2 all components have been replaced yet the problem still exists.

Sliding passenger door does not lock. If the car is locked and someone opens that door, the alarm goes off.
