2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

PO302 CYL2 MISFIRE CODE.CYLINDER HEAD PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER SAME CODE. THIS TIME CAMSHAFT INTAKE AND EXHAUST , 16 ARM- VALUE AND 24 TAPPET VALVE LASH HAD TO BE REPLACED. CAR ONLY HAS 82,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD TWO MAJOR ENGINE REPAIRS REQUIRED. CONDITION CAUSED BY THE ROLLER BEARINGS IN THE ROCKERS COMING APART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS REPAIR WAS $2180.94. MY MECHANIC AND I THINK IT IS ALL ONE RELATED ENGINE PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

WHEN WE FIST GOT THE VAN WE EXPERIENCED SOME ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF IT BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND WE WENT TO A RECOMMENDED MECHANIC. THEN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS WE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THE MOTOR MOUNTS. ONCE AGAIN WE HAD TO REPLACE THEM AND THEN WE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER AND WE HAD TO RE-LEARN SOME OF THE ALREADY INSTALLED PROGRAMS. I WOULD LIKE FOR WHOEVER APPROVES THE RECALLS TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE OTHER ISSUES BECAUSE FOR IT BEING A SIX YEAR OLD CAR IT DEFINITELY HAS MORE ISSUES THAN IT SHOULD.

THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SWITCH DOESN'T MAKE THE WINDOW GO UP. YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT FOR AWHILE BEFORE IT DOES . IT DOES THIS ANY TIME YOU TRY TO MAKE THE WINDOW GO UP

THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, I TOOK MY 2012 DODGE GRAN CARAVAN TO HAVE THE ENGINE CHECK BECAUSE IT STALLS OUT. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. EVERY TIME ALL CHECK OUT OK PER THE DODGE REPAIR CENTER. TWICE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AT THE TIME OF THE ENGINE STALLING. TWICE NO INDICATION. ENGINE JUST QUIT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST NIGHT (08/30/2017) WHEN MY WIFE WAS COMING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE. SHE WAS IN TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE JUST QUIT. BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THANK GOD THAT SHE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. SOME THING IS WRONG WITH MY GRAN CARAVAN. THIS PROBLEM STARTED EARLY THIS YEAR (2017). FIRST TIME TO A DODGE FACILITY WAS ON 05/23/17, NEXT ON 06/05/17 AND ON 07/07/17.
