I bought a 2016 dodge grand caravan with 77,438 miles. The vehicle ran great till the end of november 2018. At which time we started having major issues. 1st the vehicle will self accelerate with to excessive speeds over 80 MPH with no assistance. You have to hold the break to keep it under control. 2nd you can take the key out of the ignition, close the door and the car continue to run. 3rd when starting the van the transmission goes into limp mode not allowing you to shift the car to reverse or drive. To release the you have to hit the safety override switch place the van in gear and then you are only able to drive to the speed of 30 MPH. We have taken this van to the shop that drive time warranty company directed us to which was pep boys. They were not able to do the work the vehicle needed but still charges us $50. Drive time said we would be reimburse for but never happened. Then drive time directed us to take the car to meineke the diagnosed the vehicle we paid the deductible $100. Drove the van home 1 week later it was back at meineke to be repaired again. Meineke advised that the part that was under warranty cause sever damage to other components of the van. Drive time authorized the work. We went to pick up the van as it was completed meineke advised us it would be $2700 for the repairs as drive time was not paying for it. We contacted drive time on this they advised us to pick the van up and not to pay meineke anything. So we went round and round with drive time and meineke finally getting our van back. Now 10 days later it is doing the same thing. I have 4 children and a wife that is in this vehicle that is unsafe and is an accident waiting to happen.
Bought the car used with 35,982 miles. A year after I purchased the van my check engine light came on. Changed the oil and spark plugs. The light stayed on and continued to run rough. We contacted dodge multiple times to be told my car wasn't under warranty. We took my car to be put on the computer and found a few small issues. I bought a few parts from dodge and again talked to them about the warranty. Was told it stopped at 30,000 miles. Took my car back to the mechanic and was told I have low compression in cylinder two. I called dodge to find out how much they would charge me to fix it. To find out my car was under warranty and I had just went over the mileage of 60,000. So I was lied to and my car is still messed up. I have read over and over about the motors having issues and nothing is being done!!!!
The engine won't shut down after being driven. When the vehicle has been parked, and put into park, then turn the key off, the vehicle is still running. It'll run for several minutes, then cut off. I've tried to put the key back in and turn it on and then off, van still runs. I've unhooked the battery to see if it would reset itself. The problem still exists
The vehicle is 2 years old I have owned for 7 months. I start the car it will not go into gear. I shut the car off the motor keeps running. Then it will go in gear and move by itself.
Sometimes, the engine won't shut down after being driven. When the vehicle has been parked, and put into park, then turn the key off, the vehicle is still running. It'll run for several minutes, then cut off. I've tried to put the key back in and turn it on and then off, van still runs. I've unhooked the battery to see if it would reset itself. The problem still exists.
Engine shuts off without warning when driving and/or stopped at light.
Transmission fluid pump failed, resulting in transmission failure. Vehicle began to show signs of slippage, then became inoperable after being parked. This is my fourth dodge caravan to have this problem. Failures of the transmission pump all happened without warning at around 55,000 - 80,000 miles. The caravan also has noisy lifters which I have also replaced on 2 other dodge vehicles.
We bought a 2016 dodge caravan and had a "remote" start installed through the dealership. The van would shut off when the remote start was used, sometimes. When it shut off in neutral, before I could even make it into the van, the electrical acted like it was disconnected from the battery, (the clock would be flashing, radio stations un-programmed, airbag light on.) the dealership had our van for 2 weeks (no rental), and they never could duplicate or fix the problem. We picked up our van and did not receive paperwork. @three months later, the van died again. But this time while in drive-at a complete stop, while at a drive thru bank atm. When it shut off, the electrical acted like it was disconnected from the battery, (the clock would be flashing, radio stations un-programmed, airbag light on-same as before) I took the van to the dealership. They estimated it would take 3 days to repair and gave me a rental. In less than one day they did a computer "update." on my way home from picking up the "repaired" van, it shut off again, this time in drive-at a complete stop, in a fast food drive thru. I took it back on the same day, and was given another rental. This was in october. (paperwork states: oct 11 and oct 13.) friday oct 13 I received a call from the dealership to bring back the rental. When I asked if my van was fixed I was told, 'no, but the dealership isn't going to pay for the car rental anymore.' the dealership opened a star case from corporate and were told to close the case, even though nothing was fixed. I returned the rental and picked up my van. Oct 18, my van shut off again, while at a complete stop in reverse. I am waiting to hear back from the dealership, to see if they can fix this problem-again.
