2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Engine Problems

MY VAN HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A CYLINDER 5 MISS FIRE I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTOR, SPARK PLUGS, AND IGNITOR PLUGS. WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS I HEAR A KNOCK IN THE MOTOR AND THE DOES NOT RUN SMOOTHLY. WHILE MOVING THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES STRUGGLES TO GAIN SPEED FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I HAVE NOTICED A REDUCTION IN MY FUEL MILEAGE SINCE THE ISSUE APPEARED. *TR

AS I DRIVE IT AND PUT INTO STOP ON STOP LIGHT. THE BREAK DIDN'T ENGAGE. I HAD TO STEP ALL THE WAY OUT AND IT ENGAGE. IT FELT LIKE I LOST THE BRAKE FLUID . BUT THEN AFTER THAT.. WHEN THE GREEN LIGHT WENT ON.. THE VAN JUST OPERATED ITSELF JUST FINE. AFTER FEW MONTHS.. THE VAN STARTS OUT FINE BUT CANT BE DRIVEN. AS OF NOW WE MANAGED TO PARK IT IN BUSINESSES PLAZA. AND THE A/C FEELS LIKE OR SOUNDS LIKE ACTING UP. AND NOW, TOTALLY CANT BE DRIVEN . *TR

THE ENGINE MAKES A VERY LOUD TAPPING/TICKING NOISE WHEN IDLING AND SLIGHT ACCELERATION. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, POSSIBLE A ROCKER ARM OR LIFTER. I HOPE THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND STEERING IS LOST AS WELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OR RECREATE THE ISSUE. WE HAVE A FAMILY OF 6 AND ARE WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING OUR CAR, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND THE CAR IS NOT QUITE FOUR YEARS OLD. THE REAR AC HAS BEEN FIXED, THE T.V. THAT CAME WITH THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE DOOR LOCKS HAVE BEEN FIXED. THE FUEL INJECTED HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CADILLAC CONVERTER. IT CAR HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS AND A LOT OF THE PROBLEMS WERE SOME OF YOU RECALL. I WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER DODGE.

WHEN I BRAKE HARD (FOR EXAMPLE AT A RED LIGHT), MY VAN SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST MONTH.

WHILE DRIVING, SEVERAL DASH PANEL LIGHTS FLASHED, LOST POWER STEERING, LOST ABILITY TO INCREASE SPEED WITH GAS PEDAL. ENGINE STAYED ON BUT ONLY AT IDLE. ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC ONTO SIDE ROAD AND STOP. TURNED KEY TO OFF AND THEN TRIED TO START CAR AGAIN. IT WORKED ON THE SECOND TRY. SEEMED TO OPERATE NORMALLY WITH ONLY THE CLOCK RESET TO 12:00AM. THIS SAME SEQUENCE HAPPENED TWICE, ABOUT A WEEK APART. NO RAIN EITHER TIME BOTH DURING DAYLIGHT.

WAS SITTING AT GAS STATION WITH THE VAN AT AN IDLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS IT WAS DETERMINED IT HAD A CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE. I HAD THE SPARK PLUG AND IGNITION COIL REPLACED AND STILL HAVE THE CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE. HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD HAS GONE BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD MOPAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS IN THE PAST.

TE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD WENT BAD AT 80,000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AN ABNORMAL NOISE SOUNDED FROM THE HOOD OF THE ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

THE CAR HAS NOISE.

THE FIRST THING TO GO WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE WAS THE TELEVISION STOPPED WORKING AND THEY FIXED IT ONCE AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN BUT I DID NOT TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE COST ME OUT OF POCKET .THE NEXT THING TO GO WRONG WAS THE DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN THEY HAD TO KEEP IT FOR A DAY OR TWO FOR THAT. THE NEXT THING TO GO WRONG WAS THE CYLINDER HEAD THEY TOOK A WEEK TO FIX IT BUT THE CAR STILL HAD WEAK ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND ENGINE MISFIRE SO I TOOK IT BACK FOR THEM TO CHECK IT AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SQUIRTER IS ALSO BROKEN. THE NEXT THING TO GO WRONG WAS THE GEAR SHIFTER, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND WAS STUCK IN DRIVE WITH KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION WE HAD...

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A INTERSECTION TURNING RIGHT THE ENGINE SHUTOFF WITHOUT WARNING. ALONG WITH THE ENGINE SHUTOFF, POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND EVERYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER, RPMS, RADIO. WITH THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND POWER STEERING IT MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER TO SAFETY. ONCE STOPPED I WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK I TURNED THE KEY TO OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED BACK UP NORMALLY. ABSOLUTELY NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR WARNING WERE SHOWING BEFORE OR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. I SUSPECT THAT THE ISSUE IS THE TIPM BUT CAN'T BE EXACTLY SURE.

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.
