Transmission delays going into drive and it goes into (limp mode) many times it will not shift into third gear, it will only stay in second gear. If it does shift into third gear you may be driving along and it will all of the sudden shift down into second gear harshly.this is very dangerous, especially when it happened on the highway. This is the second grand caravan that I've had with the same identical problem and chrysler refuses to help.

The serpentine belt tensioner fell off the vehicle. I started the engine and noticed I couldn't steer the vehicle. I checked and saw that the belt tensioner fell off the vehicle. If I had been driving at highway speed and this happened I wouldn't be able to steer the vehicle. I inspected the failed component and could see that the stud which fastens the device to the engine block was broken due to a stress consentration in the stud material. It was not broken due to too much torque when attached to the block. I could tell this due to the fracture configuration. Typically a torsional fracture can be seen because the material is broken at a 45 degree angle. This fracture was due to a stress consentration in the material. Has this happened to anyone else? You probably couldn't tell because the vehicle, if traveling on the highway, would be so badly damaged you wouldn't know what caused the crash. I would suggest you look into this.

Cooling fan locked up, causing a meltdown of connecting wires. Dealer has been contacted. There is no fuse or circuit breaker protection, this could have caused an underhood fire. *slc

Without warning- engine stalls in traffic, usually while decelerating, and can only restart with gas pedal floored. Problem is intermittent, sporadic, and cannot be duplicated. Dlr/mfr. Say correct by warranty, but problem may not show for months.
