I have purchased my 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan new in 2014 and I purchased a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan for my daughter. Both required transmissions replaced? My unfortunately was out of warranty for time not miles driven. My daughter's vehicle was covered by the warrantee. The first issue with my vehicle was wheel bearing going out. When they checked more in depth they discovered metal pieces in the transmission fluid. As a result my vehicle required a new transmission as did my daughter's vehicle. What I find very interesting is that the dealership had transmissions in stock? Seems like this is a bigger issue than they let on.
