Vehicle has been well maintained. It has 71, xxx miles. With no warning or indication of problems, we had complete transmission failure. It worked fine, we exited highway and it was noisy. Within 2 miles, the transmission was slipping (jerking van) and then totally went out (won't accelerate at all). Still no warning lights. Towed and repair center said complete transmission failure. Looking online, this has happened to multiple people in very similar fashion (no indication of issue to being undriveable within minutes). For a vehicle with 71, xxx miles and being 3 years old, this is terrible...still a substantial loan in place :(

While driving vehicle it began to made a horrible noise and then stalled in the middle of the road while driving. Was able to restart and move out of the way but stalled again. Car would no longer move into drive. No warning lights came on until after the car stalled for the second time. Then the check engine light came on. Previous to this occurrence the car was running perfectly fine and gave no warnings that the transmission was going out. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic where they stated the transmission blew. Upon finding this out vehicle was towed to a dodge dealership where we were informed warranty was expired. Vehicle only has 73,000 miles on it.

Transmission failed while driving on the highway without prior warning and the vehicle had to be towed home. The vehicle had limited power left to pull off the highway for safety though. What I hear when I start and rev the engine a bit is high pitched whining noise and noise of separated or lose components coming from inside the transmission. Research has shown me that this same drive train has been running in Chrysler and Dodge vehicles for about ten years now and has seen recalls on the transmission for some earlier model years like 2015, 2016, -??. This is a big safety issue given that this vehicle seats seven people (families rely on this van for transportation) and therefore Chrysler should add this vehicle drive train to the recall list ASAP. After failing the the check engine light popped up and running it on the generic scan tool code P083B showed up.

I was in line at a fast food drive thru when a strange noise began coming from under my hood. When I went to drive forward, the engine revved but the vehicle didn-??t move at first. It finally jerked into gear and I proceeded to exit the line and to a stop sign before driving onto the main road. I had no problem taking off from the stop sign but as I was accelerating on the main road, I got up to about 35mph and the vehicle revved again, but this time it stopped moving in the middle of the road. The car behind me blew their horn and ran off the road to a avoid rear-ending me. There was no CEL illuminated and no other warning or indication of a problem. I got off the road and turned the engine off. I turned it back on and took the back streets home and parked it. I had the transmission filter and fluid changed, and all was well for about another 200 miles. As I was driving about 60 miles an hour on a highway, I again lost forward motion and the engine revved to about 5000 rpm-??s. I immediately steered off the highway to avoid a collision. Again, there no malfunction indicator light illuminated. After careful inspection by a certified technician, it was determined that the transaxle oil pump has failed. The vehicle is available for inspection at yours or your representative-??s convenience.

Before 50K miles the transmission went out and a cylinder blew at the same time. There was no warning this would happen and when it happened we were in traffic and caused the vehicle to jump almost hitting another car. This was repaired by Dodge. At the time of pick up the technician in the shop told us that this is a common issue with these vans and he sees this all the time. Also the breaks have not worked properly since purchase. An online form shows many owners have this same issue and have determined that the break system is under rated for the size of vehicle.

2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. 3.6 pentastar engine. 60K miles. For over a year it has rough idle and engine vibration at hwy speed. Misfire on cylinder #2 does not go away. Always returns. Have replaced coils, plugs twice and injectors. #2 cylinder misfire still throws engine light. Went to and called Dodge dealer several times about problem. They claim there are no known issues, problems or recalls. They keep trying to tell me it's bad fuel and I should use higher grade fuel. I've done that as well and the misfire on #2 cylinder is always there. The vibration gets so bad sometimes the entire vehicle shakes like your sitting in a massage chair. My wife refuses to drive it anymore and I'm really frustrated that Dodge refuses to acknowledge there is a defect on this engine that is causing this and should be covered by them. It's only a year old and should not be having this problem.
