2014 Dodge Grand Caravan Complaint Log

ANYTIME THE CAR IS MOVING OR IN PARK AND YOU UNLOCK OR LOCK THE BACK REAR RIGHT DOOR MAKES A BUZZING NOISE I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT IT NEEDS A RECALL

THIS HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN TIMES PREVIOUSLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE STALLS. SO FAR IT'S ONLY HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET. I DID BRING IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH JUST CAME ON FOR NO REASON. THE VAN IS AT 96K MILES. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED.

ON 9/19/18, WAS DRIVING ON HWY 394 IN MINNEAPOLIS WHEN FIRST HAD PROBLEM. ENGINE DIE ON ME IN THE MIDDLE IF HIGHWAY. IT WAS DOING RUSH HOURS AND WAS GOING LOW SPEED, PROBABY AROUND 10-20 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART VAN AND DROVE THE REST OF THAT DAY WITH NO PROBLE. TODAY HAD SAME PROBLEM, 9/20/19, IT HAPPENS 3X. ONE WAS WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, SAME THING HAPPEN ON THE 2X. THE 3X IS WHEN I WAS GOING 20-30 MPH AND WAS FOLLOWING SVERAL CURVE OF THE STREET WHEN IT HAPPEN. I COULD NOT TURN OR STOP CAUSE ENGINE STOP WORKING. ALMOST WENT UP THE CURVE. AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO START THE VAN FINE AND GO ON MY WAY. I CALL DEALER IN BROOKLYN CENTER, MN FOR A DIAGNOSIS FOR 9/24. LOOK UP PROBLEM ON INTERNET AND FOUND PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM EVERYWHERE.

AT THE OF MY TRIP, AS I PARK THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER HEAD REST EXPLODED.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST POPPED OPEN WITHOUT HAVING ANY COLLISION. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF.

THE DRIVE SIDE HEAD REST DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS STATIONARY. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, S PLASTIC BRACKET INSIDE HEADREST FAILED, RELEASING A METAL PIN FROM THE CLOSED LATCH. HAD I BEEN DRIVING, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS NOT AND HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR LOCK STUCK IN ENGAGED POSITION. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. LOCK WILL NOT DISENGAGE. VEHICLE OFF/STATIONARY, UPON RETURN FROM DRIVE. CHILD IN CAR SEAT RESTRAINT INACCESSIBLE.

PUMP IN TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET

BREAK BOOSTER IS BAD! I ALMOST COULDN'T STOP YESTERDAY AT A STOP LIGHT. CALLING AROUND FOR REPLACEMENT PART AND FINDING THAT THIS PART IS OUT OF STOCK OR ON BACKORDER!

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK CLOSED. WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL.

AT APPROXIMATELY 46,600 MILES THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT/ALERT CAME ON WHJILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT NOW RANDOMLY COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT STAYS LIT DURING THE WHOLE TRIP, SOMETIMES IT TURNS ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES DURING ONE TRIP. SPEED DOES NOT MATTER AS IT COMES ON AT RANDOM. ALSO, IT COMES ON WHETHER THERE ARE 6 PASSENGERS OR JUST THE DRIVER.

MY BRAKES BEGIN FAILING ON SATURDAY 8/3/2019. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER ARE BAD ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME

DRIVERS SIDE TIE ROD SNAPPED AT THREAD AREA OF THE TIE ROD

MY SONS AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A HIT & RUN INJURY CAR ACCIDENT. WE WERE REAR-ENDED ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MPH AND DRIVER BEHIND ME PLOWED INTO US AT ABOUT 30 MPH! INSTANTLY ME AND MY YOUNGER SON BOTH SAID WE HIT OUR HEADS. OUR HEADS HURT BESIDES BEING THRUST BY THE IMPACT. MY SON KEPT POINTING AT SOMETHING ASKING ME TO LOOK WHEN I WAS TRYING TO CALL 9-1-1 FOR HELP AND THE OTHER DRIVER WAS TRYING TO TALK TO ME UNSAFELY IN THE HIGHWAY! MY SON TOLD ME TO LOOK AT OUR HEADRESTS. BOTH FRONT SEAT HEADRESTS HAD DEPLOYED AND STRUCK US IN THE BACK OF OUR HEADS ON IMPACT! WE COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. AS MY YOUNGER SON SAID, WE SUFFERED ENOUGH WITH NECK, SHOULDER, BACK AND STOMACH PAINS FROM BEING THRUST IN THIS CAR ACCIDENT BUT TO BE PUNCHED IN THE BACK OF OUR HEADS ON TOP OF THAT?? IT REALLY HURT US AND WE WERE MOVING AT THE TIME OF IMPACT. FORTUNATELY WE WERE CHECKED ON SCENE MEDICALLY BY THE PARAMEDICS. EVEN THE HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THE HEADRESTS DISLODGED, NEITHER HAD THE PARAMEDICS. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND A LITIGATION AGAINST A MAJOR CAR MANUFACTURER AND FOUND OUT THIS MAY BE AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE DEFECT ON OUR 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WE CAN'T EVEN PUT BACK THE HEADRESTS IN PLACE ON EITHER FRONT SEAT HEADREST. THIS WAS VERY SCARY FOR BOTH OF US, HAVING OUR HEADS HURT SO MUCH UPON IMPACT. YET WE DIDN'T GO FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL OR DASHBOARD, RATHER WE GOT CLOCKED, PUNCHED IN THE BACK OF OUR HEADS BY THE HEADREST SUPPOSEDLY THERE TO HELP CURTAIL WHIPLASH. EXTREME LIES BY THE CAR MANUFACTURERS AND A TOTAL SAFETY HAZARD. THEY NEED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING THIS MUCH DURESS AND INJURY TO ALL THESE CUSTOMERS WHO TRUST THESE MAJOR CAR COMPANIES TO KEEP US AND OUR LOVED ONES SAFE, NOT INTENTIONALLY INJURE THEM.

VAN STALLED A FEW TIMES, OUT OF THE BLUE, WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. NEVER HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEM. STALLED IN ROAD WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO GAS STATION. GOT VAN RUNNING AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN, MOTOR DIED DOWN TO BARELY A CRAWL AND WAS ABOUT TO STALL AS A SEMI TRUCK APPROACHED US. GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, TIRES SQUEALING BARELY GOT OUT OF THE TRUCKS WAY. ENGINE STALLED AGAIN, COASTED INTO STATION BUT BLOCKING DRIVE. COULD NOT START AGAIN, HAD TO PUSH OUT OF THE WAY. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE #2 CYLINDER WHICH IS THE SAME ISSUES THE 2011-2013'S GRAND CARAVANS HAD A SAFETY BULLETIN 09-002-14 PUT OUT FOR IN 2014. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF MY REPAIR BILL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A SPRING DEVICE IN THE PASSENGER HEADREST FAILED AND STRUCK THE CONTACT'S WIFE IN THE BACK OF HER HEAD. AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT, THE CONTACT'S WIFE DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL TREATMENT OTHER THAN NECK PAIN AND A HEADACHE. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN OVER THE COUNTER MEDICINE AND INFORMED TO RETURN TO THE HOSPITAL IF THE PAIN PERSISTED. THE DEALER (MARION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM 44 WORLEY RD, MARION, NC 28752 828-652-2858) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000. *DT *DT*JB*DT*JB

MY SIGNATURE GOT FORGED

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW/LOCK CONTROL NOT WORKING. A/C FAN GOING ON AND OFF

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HOME FROM THE STORE IN MAY 2019 WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND SHUT OFF IN AN INTERSECTION. THANKFULLY SOMEONE STOPPED TO HELP PUSH THE VAN OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE VAN TOWED TO OUR LOCAL DEALER/SERVICE. DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED AN ENGINE MISFIRE AND SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOUND LOW COMPRESSION IN CYLINDER #3. FURTHER TROUBLESHOOTING DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS A VALVE FAILURE AND THE DEALER REPAIRS COST US OVER $2,700. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR 5YR/50,000MI LIMITED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED IN APRIL...EIGHT DAYS BEFORE THE ENGINE FAILURE! WE PREVIOUSLY ENJOYED OWNING A CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY AND HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH THE PERFORMANCE AND UTILITY OF THE GRAND CARAVAN, BUT THE ENGINE FAILURE SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED ON PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS. APPARENTLY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED FOR 2011-2013 MODEL YEARS, BUT NOT 2014. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY FCA US BEFORE IT BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE.

MY 2 FRONT WINDOWS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE OTHER WINDOWS STILL ROLL UP AND DOWN. I HEAR A CLICKING SOUND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LIKE THE WINDOW WANTS TO WORK THE DRIVER SIDE IN HEAR NOTHING AT ALL.

I BOUGHT BRAND NEW A 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AS A FAMILY CAR. I'M STILL PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE AND WITH 51,000 MILES THE CANISTER FILTER HOUSING IS SPEWING OIL. AND GUESS WHAT NOT UNDER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER WON'T STAND BEHIND IT. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT UNHEARD OF. IF YOU HAVE A 3.6 LITER IN ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS ENGINE THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. SHAME ON CHRYSLER FOR THERE GREED TO NOT BUILD A DECENT CAR AND NOT STAND BEHIND IT. SO BE UP FRONT WITH CUSTOMERS AND TELL THE THEY WILL HAVE TO SHELL OUT SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX OR RECALL THE PART THAT IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, A TICKING NOISE EMERGED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES WITHIN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARBER CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP (5330 BAY ROAD, SAGINAW, MI 48664) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROLLER ROCKER ON THE CAMSHAFT WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THAT TYPE OF ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE "CLOCK SPRING" BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL BROKE WHICH CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCATED ELECTRICAL BUTTONS TO STOP FUNCTIONING FOR MAKING UCONNECT PHONE CALLS, ADJUSTING THE RADIO VOLUME, SWITCHING FROM ONE MEDIA (FM,AM,CD, AUDIO STREAMING AND SATELLITE RADIO) TO ANOTHER, ACCESSING THE DASH PANEL ODOMETER, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER READING, AVG MPG, MILES TO GO BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND THE RESET FUNCTION. THIS HAPPENED WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING OR TURNING OR STATIONARY.

MONDAY 3/25/19 10:55AM CAR INDICATOR LIGHTS BRIEFLY FLASHED WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION DURING A TURN AND THEN SUDDENLY DIED. NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORKED. WAS ABLE TO TURN CAR BACK ON AND GET TO PARKING LOT. SAME DAY AFTER LEAVING(2:30PM) SITTING AT A BUSY INTERSECTION WAITING ON RED LIGHT. CAR DASH LIGHTS AGAIN BRIEFLY FLASH AND CAR TURNS OFF. TOOK ABOUT 10 MIN BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. WHILE SITTING IN A BUSY TURN LANE AND NOT EVEN HAVING HAZARD LIGHTS WORK WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. TOOK CAR TO GET BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER CHECKED. ALL CHECKED OUT GOOD. FRIDAY 3/29/19 WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH(8:30 AM) CAR DASH LIGHTS BRIEFLY FLASH AND CAR TURNS OFF. AGAIN NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES ECT. WAA ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF RODE. COULDN'T EVEN TAKE THE KEY OUT. ALSO TOOK ABOUT 1.5 HRS BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN. EACH OCCURANCE HAS ALSO SET CLOCKS BACK TO THE 12:00 TIME. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN ME THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. THIS PART WAS RECALLED ON DURANGOS AND JEEPS BUT CARAVAN DID NOT MAKE THE LIST. ALTHOUGH PER WHAT I HAVE READ ON THIS SITE AND VARIOUS OTHERS IT IS AN OBVIOUS COMMON PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS AT 68,000 AND IS BEING TAKEN IN ON SUNDAY 3/31/19. WHERE I HAVE ALREADY INDICATED TO MECHANIC WHAT I WANT REPLACED DUE TO THE FACT IT IS NOT AN EASILY REPLICATED PROBLEM ON COMMAND AND THERE IS NO CODE TO CHECK. IT SEEMS LIKE THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION TO TELL THEM TO JUST REPLACE IT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER.

WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I CAME TO A RED LIGHT I NOTICED THE ENGINE IDLE WAS ROUGH. I CHECKED THE CODE WHEN I GOT HOME P0305 MISFIRE IN CYLINDER NO. 5 I HAD THE SPARK PLUG AND COIL PACK REPLACED CLEARED THE CODE ENGINE STILL IDLED ROUGH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND FOUND DEFECTIVE VALVE GUIDE IN CYLINDER NO.5 HE STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE.LESSON LEARNED DON'T BUY DODGE.

THE A/C AND HEAT WORKS ONLY OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE HEAT ONLY WORKS OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDES. THIS IS A WIDELY COMMON PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. A FEW MOMENTS LATER, ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS BEGAN TO FLASH. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND HAD IT TOWED HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRONTIER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (5801 SPUR 327, LUBBOCK, TX) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRES WERE FRAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE REPLACED CAMS AND ROCKERS, COIL PACKS AND SPARK PLUGS, STARTER,BATTERY,PCM AND STILL GET AP304 CODE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK WHERE WE BOUGHT OUR VEHICLE AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT! WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS....ONE SAYS WE NEED AN ENGINE AND ONE SAYS THE PISTONS AND HEAD. WHAT IS WRONG WITH CHRYSLER? THEY KNOW THEY HAVE MORE THAN 7500 PENTASTAR ENGINES THAT ARE FAULTY....STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT & REPUTATION!!!! ENGINE RUNS FINE RUNNING BUT SHUDDERS AT IDLE.....FIX THIS ISSUE!

SEAT BELT DOES NOT CLICK IN AND DOES NOT STAY. IT POPS OUT AT TIMES. WITH SEATBELT CLICKED IN THE VAN SOMETIMES THINK THAT THE DRIVE IS NOT BUCKLED IN SO THE WORSENING LIGHT FLASHES AND MAKES SOUNDS

BAD LIFT GATE SENSOR. HARD TO BELIEVE THIS WILL BE THE SECOND SENSOR THAT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE. 1ST WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN/STOPPED, CAR SHUDDERS, GAS MILEAGE IS DOWN, HAS A P0305 CODE FOR MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 5, REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, STILL MISFIRING, COMPRESSION TEST IS FINE, HAS A LOUD TICKING/TAPPING NOISE WHEN STOPPED/IDLING.

MY 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN LEFT SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS SUDDENLY BECOME STUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I CAME OUT ONE MORNING AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN. I CANT UNLOCK IT MANUALLY OR WITH THE FOB. WHEN I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM I SEE THERE IS A SLEW OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH MANY DIFFERENT YEARS OF GRAND CARAVAN'S. DODGE HAS NOT DONE A RECALL BECAUSE, I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHERS, THAT DODGE IS CHARGING $1100 PER VEHICLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CAN YOU PRESS THEM TO DO A RECALL? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IN AN EMERGENCY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THROUGH THE LEFT SIDE DOOR.

RELATED TO SERVICE BULLETIN SB-10058301-5939, DODGE HAS A KNOWN ENGINE DEFECT THAT RESULTS IN FAILURE OF THE ENGINE OIL COOLER THAT CAN CAUSE SUDDEN AND MAJOR OIL LOSS AND POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THIS FAILED ON MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY CAUSING A MAJOR LOSS OF OIL, LARGE OIL SPILL. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIUS ISNT BEING RECALLED.

I FLIPPED ON MY BRIGHTS, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON BACK ROADS. THE DASH LIGHTS ALL LIT UP, THE LIGHT BRIGHTNESS BEGAN BLINKING IN AND OUT, AND EVEN THE RADIO SWITCHED OFF AND ON. WHEN I TURNED THE BRIGHTS OFF, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED LIT, THEN THE STABILITY ASSIST LIGHT LIT BACK UP. I FLIPPED THE BRIGHTS ON AGAIN, WITH THE SAME RESULT AS THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE SINCE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THE TIPM IS FAULTY. I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT AT MILE 172 WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW. AT THAT TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ORIGINAL TIPM WAS FAULTY AND IT WAS REPLACED. 55000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, AND WE ARE WORKING ON TIPM NUMBER THREE. BOTH OF OUR TIPM ISSUES HAVE INVOLVED AIRBAG FUNCTION, WHICH MAKES THIS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

I FLIPPED ON MY BRIGHTS, WHILE DRIVING ON BACK ROADS AT NIGHT. THE DASH LIGHTS ALL LIT UP, THE LIGHT BRIGHTNESS BEGAN BLINKING IN AND OUT, AND EVEN THE RADIO SWITCHED OFF AND ON. WHEN I TURNED THE BRIGHTS OFF, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED LIT, THEN THE STABILITY ASSIST LIGHT LIT BACK UP. I FLIPPED THE BRIGHTS ON AGAIN, WITH THE SAME RESULT AS THE FIRST TIME.

ALL LIGHTS ARE FLASHING AND THERE ARE WEIRD NOISES FROM UNDER HOOD .VAN DOES NOT WANT TO START. THERE IS CLICKING NOISE UNDER TIPM MODULE. I AM LUCKY IT DID NOT BREAK WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE WE USE IT AS A FAMILY CAR. FROM WHAT I READ ON INTERNET IT SEEMS LIKE A TIPM FAILURE . AND. IT HAPPENS 1 MONTH AFTER MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED.

TAKATA RECALL. 2014 CARAVAN ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE DO TO BAD ROCKER ARMS AND CAMSHAFT. THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED ON ALL 2014 CARAVANS AND JEEPS WITH A 3.6 LTR ONLY DO TO WEAKNESS ON ROCKER ARM BEARING. AND SHOULD BE FIXED AT DODGE EXPENSE AS IT'S NOT A CHEAP FIX AN I'M NOT IMPRESSED BY DODGE WITH THE ISSUE

AFTER GOING SIDEWAYS INTO A VERY STEEP DITCH, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT SIDE AIRBAG CHARGES WENT OFF, BUT NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE SEAT BELT LOCKED SO TIGHT THAT I COULDN'T REACH THE DOOR HANDLE OR WINDOW SWITCH, OR UNBUCKLE THE SEAT BELT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.

I RECENTLY HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WITHIN A FEW WEEKS NOTICED A PUDDLE UNDER MY CAR WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT TURNED OUT TO BE ENGINE OIL, AND AFTER A QUICK SEARCH FOR 2014 GRAND CARAVAN OIL LEAKS IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM KNOWN BY CHRYSLER CORP, AND IS MOST LIKELY A FAULTY OIL FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY. THE OIL HAS PRETTY MUCH SPREAD ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING, AND ALL PARTS UNDERNEATH. THE CAR ALSO HAD A BURNT OIL SMELL WHEN I TOOK IT ON A TEST DRIVE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE LEAKING OIL COULD CATCH FIRE ON THE EXHAUST AND WON'T BE DRIVING THE CAR ANY MORE UNTIL I CAN GET IT FIXED. IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF, BUT THE CAR IS JUST OVER THE 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE ANY ENGINE OR OIL LIGHTS ON, AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE AN ACTIVE LEAK WHEN THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING. THIS APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM IN MY OPINION.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THE NEED FOR A NEW CYLINDER COIL AND OR NEW SPARK PLUG. AFTER REPLACING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. ( IRREGULAR IDLE, ENGINE NOISE NOT IN TUNE, BUMPING NOISE, LIKE IT WANTS TO KILL, OR GO OFF) THE NOISE IS ONLY APPARENT WHEN AT STOP. MILEAGE MAY BE AFFECTED ALSO.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT MY JOB. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE TO LEAVE WORK I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER HEADREST WAS DEPLOYED. I CHECKED FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NONE AT ALL. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND MY HUSBAND TRIED TO RESET THE HEADREST BUT IT APPEARS AS THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD THE "ROD" IN PLACE HAVE BROKEN SO THE HEADREST WILL NOT RESET. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE HAVING A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT NOR DO I REALLY FEEL SAFE DRIVING INCASE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS TO DEPLOY WHILE I AM DRIVING.

DRIVER SIDE HEADREST HIT DRIVER WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A CITY STREET BECAUSE THE HEADREST BROKE APART. THERE WAS NO IMPACT OR OTHER APPARENT CAUSE OF THIS TO HAPPEN. HEADREST CAME APART AND THE INTERNAL PLASTIC PIECES HOLDING A METAL ROD IN PLACE ARE BROKEN. IT WILL NOT GO BACK INTO PLACE DUE TO BROKEN PIECES.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER CHECKING THAT TIRES ARE INFLATED CORRECTLY. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING ALL FOUR SENSORS: $75 PER WHEEL PLUS LABOR.

DRIVER STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, TURNED RIGHT, ACCELERATED TO 10-15 MPH AND THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT OFF. AT THE SAME TIME THE FOUR WAY LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING, HORN SOUNDED (LIKE A CAR ALARM ACTIVATED - ON-OFF-ON-OFF), WIPERS BEGAN MOVING BACK AND FORTH ALONG WITH WIND SHIELD FLUID SPRAYING OUT. AFTER COASTING TO A STOP, THE DRIVER SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND IMMEDIATELY EVACUATED THE VEHICLE AND CALLED 911. FIRE CREWS ARRIVED TO FIND A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, DRIVER'S SIDE. FIRE EXTINGUISHED WITH WATER. NO INJURIES. VEHICLE TOWED TO SECURE LOCATION FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. ...*BF UPDATED 10/30/18*JB *DT*JB *DT*JB

WHILE WIFE WAS AT WORK, DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED AT SOME POINT. (SHE PARKED AT 6AM AND CAME OUT AT 330PM). VAN WAS PARKED AND UPON INSPECTION NO DAMAGE DONE TO VEHICLE TO WARRANT DEPLOYMENT, AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYED AND ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED. HEADREST NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, HAD TO MOVE IT TO PASSENGER SEAT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING HEADREST, FOUND THAT LEFT PLASTIC CLIP HOLDING IN BAR ASSEMBLY SNAPPED AND BROKE OFF, CAUSING THE RIGHT ONE TO WARP AND BREAK (JUST A GAP). HEADREST CANNOT BE RESET DUE TO THE DAMAGE AND A NEW ONE HAS TO BE PURCHASED.

OVERHEATING OF THE VENT WINDOW SWITCH IN THE DRIVER'S DOOR ARMREST AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLE. HOT TO THE TOUCH.

NO BU5 WARNING. INSTRUMENT LIGHTS CPME ON. WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON. HEADLIGHTS COME ON RADIO QUITS WORKING. AIR CONDITIONER STOPS WOKING.VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS STARTS HAPPENED 2 YEARS AGO. TWO YEARS AGO SENT VEHICLE TO DEALER. THEY SAID THEY TOOK THE CAR APART AND PUT IS BACK TOGETHER PROBLEM DISAPPEARED. OCCURED AGAIN A OOUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO.
