2019 Dodge Grand Caravan

The contact's husband owns a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 20 MPH, the front, passenger side headrest deployed without warning. The contact, who was an occupant in the front, passenger seat, was hit in the neck by the headrest. The force of the deployment propelled the contact forward as she was secured by her seatbelt. The contact suffered pain in her neck and went to an urgent care facility the next day for treatment. The facility took an X-ray of her cervical spine and advised to make an appointment with her primary care doctor. The primary care doctor scheduled the contact for a CT scan of her brain and an MRI of her cervical spine. The tests showed damage to the contact's spine, and the contact was referred to an orthopedic physician for additional care. The dealer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure, and the contact was given a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 137,600.

the sliding doors and sometimed the trunk door on this van unlocl and szlf open randomly. I took it to a mechanic and they said that it is the actuator failing. Dodge knows that this is a problem and extended the warranty, but the dealership in south audtin is difficult to work with. THIS JUSTIFIED A FULL RECALL BECAUSE THE DOORS COULD JUST SELF OPEN WHENEVER AND SOMEONE COULD FLY OUT OF THE VAN

I went into the Dodge place for my routine oil change on 2/3/26. While waiting, it was discovered by a technician that I had a very bad oil leak. This is very alarming to me. One reason is, there were no signs that I had an oil leak. A few examples: my oil sensor light did not come on, no oil spots recognized on concrete, or no smell of possible oil burning. The Dodge automotive technician determined the cause to be my engine oil cooler. Engine oil leaked all over everything under the housing (can provide a video). Another reason this alarms me is that this particular part is not covered under my warranty. This is expensive to have repaired. Lastly, the technician stated to us that there are over 30,000 or more vehicles from the Chrysler/Dodge Corporation with this same part that people are having to have replaced, and in some cases, replace multiple times. In conclusion, this cheaply made part should be a recall in all of these vehicles. The engine oil cooler should be made of metal material.

We purchased our 2019 Dodge Caravan July 31, 2022. We really like this Caravan and find it quite comfortable on long drives. Our transmission had a problem at 86,000 miles with a catastrophic transmission failure and we had the vehicle towed back to where it came from at IG Burton in Milford. Your repair shop replaced the old transmission with an OEM remanufactured transmission and provided a Three Year Mopar Warranty on Work order DTCS818344 Jan 21, 2024. It worked well for the next 26,000 miles. February 4, 2026 we experienced a problem after we made a right hand turn off Highway 404 onto Route 309. The transmission started racing and slowed down and it ran into limp mode. We brought it home 5 miles and got it into our driveway. We shifted it to neutral and then back to drive and it made a loud clunk noise and the whole car shook. The same thing happened in reverse when we pulled the car around to aim it out for the tow truck driver and at that point we turned the car off. When decided to try restarting it, the powertrain sounded normal. It shifted correctly, no problems and it was the same thing when the tow truck driver put it on his towing rig. The vehicle was towed to Fred Frederick Chrysler thinking it was a repeated transmission failure. The vehicle sat for two months and it was driven for 125mi and the mechanic said it could not repeat the same code it showed upon arrival. The initial code found was DTC PO755 2-4 solenoid circuit stored and not active. They released it to us on Thursday March 20, 2026. The put it in writing they could not find anything wrong with it. Tested the car for 125mi claimed could not duplicate the DTC. They did say hard shifting may occur when the vehicle is cold and fluids are not warmed up and this issue won’t occur when it’s hot; What? Transmission was already well warmed up leaving DE home to our MD home. Millsboro Preston Hyundai car code C212A system voltage below threshold.

I purchased this van from a used car lot in December of 2025. After driving it for a little over 2 weeks the check engine light came on. My mechanic did a computer check on it and it showed that the transmission is bad. Apparently, through much investigation work on my part, the warranty I paid for on the vehicle is “void” because the dealer that I purchased it from was well aware that it needed a transmission! They reset the computer according to what I was able to find out, and then sold it to me. It’s a 2019 model and for the transmission to be in need of replacement already, I’m questioning why! I’m surprised that no other owners have evidently had this issue. Please let me know if there have been other owners that have experienced transmission issues in this van. Thank You

My family and I were getting ready to leave the house and the passenger sliding door stopped working and is stuck in the locked position.

The sliding door lock actuator froze there was an extended warranty on them for 10 years or 100,000 miles. Mine went out at 129,000

I went to lower the 2 bucket seats to load an item on the van and the seats won’t go down to stow.

2019 dodge caravan, have taken in for every oil change, we used manual to take in with mileage milestones, recently had tires on and a good look over before going on vacation. Transmission randomly failed us on freeway with 4 young children leaving us stranded.

The back up camera is inverted. It shows perfect on the screen. Just inverted. There is a known recall for other 2019 dodge vehicles for the same issue. NHTSA 25E052. How is the grand caravan not included in this. They are having the exact same issues.

09/26/2024 Transmission had to be replaced at 47,000 miles. Without warning, the van began lurching forward at a stop light almost causing a collision and then completely stalled having to be towed to the shop. Luckily, I bought a service plan and only had to pay $100, but the parts list was $6,000+. Sliding rear doors have the electric assist option. On several occasions myself and my children have nearly been closed in the door as it malfunctions and randomly starts closing. Once I was getting my child out of the car seat when the door began closing on me, it did not stop closing as it met the resistance of my body. I have not had this issue serviced, as it is very intermittent. 10/28/2025 My driver's side headrest exploded. Thankfully no one was injured and I wasn't driving at the time. This could have caused a really dangerous situation had the vehicle been in motion. I was in the parking lot with nothing touching the headrest. Looking at the headrest there are jagged pieces of plastic that just crumbled to bits. Upon further investigation, this is a known issue with this type of vehicle, but it's not a recall. 70,000 miles. I'm waiting to see what the bill for this repair will be, but I'm concerned it is going to be replaced with the same malfunctioning equipment and I may not be so lucky next time this happens.

Now asking me to pay for repairs i will never buy a used car ever again.

THE CAMERA FOR REVERSE IS NOT GOOD. IT DELAYS TO COME ON, AND SEVERAL TIMES, THE CAMERA COMES UPSIDE DOWN.

Engine loss of power, failure to accelerate, sudden forward lurch when stopped, Check engine light diagnosed by dealership and independent shop as Cylinder 2 failure. Purchased from Carvana 11/2024 with just over 70,000 miles on it. Currently has about 77,000. Cylinder head is currently being replaced at a cost of $6,500.00

Passenger side sliding door is stuck in the locked position. Nothing I do will unlock it. The lock doesn't respond to any buttons either on the key fob or on the overhead panel. Also cannot be unlocked manually. It is my belief that this is a serious safety issue for rear passengers.

There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the rear brake caliper had blown out. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V523000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that there was no recall coverage for the failure. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance.

At 99500 the transmission went Kaputt! Repair man says metal shavings obstructed flow of fluid, through the filter, into the transmission, not allowing for running the car forward or backward. Very dangerous as we were driving down a highway when it just stopped working. Vehicle is only 6 years old. Why would this happen so soon?
