Eight problems related to engine stall have been reported for the 1996 Dodge Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine stalled at 35 mph. Would restart with transmission in nuetral but would stall again when drive engaged. Several attempts made to restart vehicle, vehicle finally restarted and operating normally.
While driving in the inside lane on a three lane expressway at 65 mph, the van simply died. Fortunately, there was a left shoulder on the highway that I was able to pull off onto. I was able to immediately restart the van and proceed on my trip from wisconsin to michigan. I have expressed concern on the engine periodically stalling at the dealer in sheboygan, WI. They were never able to discover what the problem was. About two months ago, I took the van to the Dodge dealer in monroe, michigan and expressed my concerns about the car periodically stalling. They supposedly did a diagnostic test on the van but were unable to determine what the problem is. This is the first time that the van has actually stalled while being driven at highway speeds. In the past, the van had stalled upon first being started, while pulling into a driveway and under similar situations. The cruise control had a tendancy to vary on the speed control. I'm wondering if this is possibly tied into the enging problem. I drive between monroe, mi and sheboygan, WI about every two months and have to drive through chicago. I need to be able to rely on my vehicle.
