2013 Dodge Grand Caravan 4dr Minivan, ext.
283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 16500 mi | The cold weather has revealed that 4 of the wires in the rear window defroster are not functioning. |
| 21000 mi | As I previously reported, 4 grids in rear window defroster were dead. Entire window, with grids, was replaced by dealer. I assume it works ok now, but weather has been such that no defogging has been necessary. |
| 1240 mi | Right Power Sliding Door sometimes will not close after it is open. When hit close switch, it will make a tick tick tick sound and not close. Have to manually close it and sort of reset itself until a week or 2 later, might happen again |
| 12400 mi | Replace defective 2nd row heated seat. |
| 23560 mi | Power Door Lock |
| 35960 mi C $220 |
Driver side power window regulator |
| 6000 mi | The buttons that open the passenger side slider door weren't working. The door could only be opened by pulling the handle, then the electric slide function did the rest. The dealer said it ended up being a part and a programming issue. |
| 620 mi €80 |
Brake fluid level wire had a break and was replaced. |
| 21780 mi €275 |
Replaced blower fan |
| 9300 mi | Nav/audio/Bluetooth system constantly rebooting during very coold weather. Could not reproduce with the dealer |
| 37700 mi | Air conditionning was not working. Always hot temperature (rear and passanger side) |
| 45880 mi | No power in the vent - The ventilators are running fine but not a good flow. AC is not cold |
| 55800 mi | solenoid failure for climatization |
| 63860 mi C $500 |
Noise (like strap on the AC and also a very weird sound for the dash to the back of the car - like a "cow" Yes... a cow...) Change of valve and solenoid. No more repair on warranty. I will wait and see what will happen Repair not successfull. |
| 18000 mi | reflash for sliding power doors |
| 61152 mi C $500 |
Air condition rear vaporizer was replaced at 68000 km. |
| 22940 mi C $310 |
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. |
| 60700 mi US $400 |
Driver side power window failure. Very poor design. The entire door assembly and guts needed to be removed and I do mean 100%. the window is wedged in the up position. Parts to fix are only $55 but labor is expected at ~3 hours for a professional. |
| 7000 mi | Heated steering wheel quit functioning. Bad clockspring in steering wheel. |
| 17000 mi | Nav/audio/Bluetooth system freezing |
| 29000 mi | The entire dashboard and electronics suite went dead at 80 mph on the highway. Restarted itself about 20 seconds later. Scary. |
| 34900 mi | Blind spot monitor malfunctioned. Caused compete electrical fritz. Wipers, turn signals, radio; everything went crazy. Sensor replaced, all is well. |
| 38700 mi US $418 |
All electrical. The wire to the main control box had been worn through. It was less than 100 miles out of warranty. Nothing electrical is covered under the 100k warranty. Nothing would work, not the spedometer, radio or odometer. |
| 1240 mi | Backup camera was inoperative at time of delivery - head unit replaced (uConnect) |
| 36800 mi | Replace rear evaporator coil |
| 37700 mi | Intermittent groaning not related to any action such as braking, accelerating, turning, etc. Chrysler bulletin - Starcase #S1324000030 described noise. Replaced front and rear A/C expansion valves and seals. >36000 mi but warranty covered. |
| 67000 mi US $250 |
Replaced leaking under body A/C-Heater line bundle. Cost estimate was $900. Dealer originally said Chrysler would not cover this repair. I insisted that they ask since I had had earlier A/C problems (see prior post) and Chrysler did agree to cover subject to owner $250 deductible. If I hadn't pushed this I would have been stuck with the whole bill! |
| 41300 mi | Rear ac wasn't working |
| 1500 mi | Month-old van failed to start in the morning due apparently to weak battery. Clipped on my motorcycle battery trickle charger for a few hours. Van started fine. Had dealer check systems. Found no problem, dealer reset low voltage fault. |

| 54560 mi C $600 |
AC failed. Leak in lines going to the rear. Cost was to disable the rear by capping off the lines and recharging. |
| 12000 mi | Intermittent wipers would shut off. The problem was sporadic snd was not happening when taken in to the dealer. They said the info was not stored and could not find the cause. Suggestion was to take it in while it was happening. |
