Rear AC/vent system was allowing large amounts of dust in. When rear ventilation system was turned on, visible plumes of dust would blow out of rear vents. Dealership could not find anything wrong so FCA engineers were called in. They found rear body vents were so caked in dust they wouldn't close. They also fabricated filter(s) for the rear vent to help control some of the dust. My 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan let some dust in, but nothing as bad as the 2017.

I had to leave with a loaner vehicle. Update: fixed it. I was really out of sorts that a new lock assembly on the van was $1,000 + The dealership sent me a survey and I told them how disappointed I was that a van less than 3 years old would need a repair that was almost 1/15th the value if the car. And for a lick a things! Then I got a phone call explaining they were concerned with the marks I gave them on the survey and they would do a good will repair if I would refill out the survey giving them higher marks.

Transmission failed, needed replacement. Close to a dealer, able to limp in. Chrysler paid 100% for the new transmission since there was still 26 DAYS left on the original warranty! Interesting they found the "fluid level overfull and burnt," since this was the original fluid that came with the car when new it should not have been overfull. After removing the transmission they found "ferrous debris" and "pump damaged, torque converter failed." A week after the new transmission was installed, the transmission "range sensor" had to be replaced and this was also covered by warranty.

Some times the car will not start when you turn the ignition key. If you turn the key a couple of times it will eventually start. Dealer could not duplicate the problem.

I have not replaced the ignition switch since I can always start the car.

Rear condenser failure which I found is a common problem because of poor engineering. The part is situated behind the rear wheel well and salt is thrown on the part during the winter, causing it to corrode prematurely. The same problem will happen again in about three years time, for a cost 0f $800.00 each time. I had them cut the front line leading to the rear A/C and then cap the front lines. Had it recharged and the front A/C works fine, but no A/C for the rear. Chrysler would not cover the cost.

The two lift support cylinders for the rear hatch failed... likely from age and successive extreme freeze / thaw cycles that we have been having here in Western Canada. New ones were ridiculously expensive, so I got a pair at Pick-n-Pull on a low mileage vehicle for $8 each. Tricky to replace because even with the hatch propped fully open with a 2x4, there is still some tension when near fully extended. For safety, I hooked on a tie down strap over the top to the cartop carrier... easy to adjust as well to match up the holes for threading in the bolts.

Van made clunking/popping noises over bumps. Replaced sway bar end links, which had torn open rubber boots on both sides. The repair addressed the sway bar ends' contribution to the noise, but there were still other worn parts making noise. After replacing the sway bar end links and sway bar bushings, the car still made popping noises driving over bumps. Further diagnosis was that the struts were starting to separate from their upper mounts, as well as worn lower ball joints (necessitating replacement of the complete control arms, lower engine mount, and rear shocks, spring bushings and shackle mounts. Van had had a possessed volume knob in the factory stereo for some time. Replaced with a "mechless" aftermarket unit.

Driver's side power sliding door, which was previously realigned began to malfunction. It would not close all the way and latch. The center console, which they installed when the van was new has never worked correctly. The rear outlet was blowing the fuses on all of my chargers. They said it was fine repeatedly. The passenger power door started malfunctioning and quit working all together. The lock on the driver's door stop working. It could not be locked electronically or manually. You could not push it down or lock it with the key. The center console again.....it was still blowing the fuses on my chargers. We got a volt meter and tested it and it was negative power. We told them the polarity was reversed and they FINALLY fixed the wiring.

Apparently linkage from auto transmission selector was not quite engaged and after 20 km it went into neutral during acceleration and the computer showed error which was the transmission shift module or something similar. It faulted as the power to the module is cut when car is in neutral so there might be a sticking cable from the drivers control stick to the auto transmission. I was able to drive the van normally after making certain the transmission is engaged correctly without any trouble. It os possible that a long winter in which vehicle was driven little allowed the linkage to stiffen and not engage as it ought to. We shall see as a replacement of this module is more than the vehicle is worth.

They were able to fasten the bushing around the stabilizer bar but cautioned that due to wear on the clamp, it could pop out again.

The gauges on my dash suddenly stopped working, but the car still ran fine. Mechanic said it wasn't a fuse. Had an appointment to come back 2 days later so he could open up my dash, but then just as suddenly they all began to work again. Individual gauges, and sometimes all of them stop working periodically. Since they are on more than off, I try to keep my tank topped off and am living with the problem.
