2001 Dodge Grand Caravan engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The vehicle overheated while driving, due to lost of coolant. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer found two metal lines, one line was leading to the A/C and the other line to the heater. Both were corroded through.
Equipment failure - 50,000 miles - all coolant steel piping in vehicle rusting from the inside out. Stainless lines from rear heater ok but all other lines rusting. Blisters on piping and lines under passenger seat rusted through and leaking. Had to replace all steel lines with rubber hose. Steel lines not replaceable without removal of engine.
The engine fan cooling system has created a constant vibration of the vehicle. They attempted to fix it with brackets, but it continues to vibrate. I have had this vehicle in ten times for this problem. They basically said they know about the problem, but have no other fixes for it. The van vibrates in park, or when idling with the brake on. It is worse when the air is running. I went to an arbitrator and was told even though the problem still continues, they wouldn't replace the vehicle, because it was only repaired once! They only offered me an extended warranty at no cost to me. I just want the vibration to stop. It is very annoying. After spending alot of money on this vehicle, I would like a smooth ride.
Engine dies at highway speed and starts up again. Engine light does not come on. Engine never came on because it had been previously removed. Cause unknown. Please provide any further information.
While driving at speed vehicle will stall, having everything shutdown. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.
