Front crankshaft seal pops out of place causing oil leak. Chrysler memo says replace engine or install repair kit from Chrysler. Oil leak lead up to this problem being discovered.
The problem lies with the transmission that came installed in the 2006 Dodge Caravan. I am having a problem accelerating as low as 10mph on up to 65mp. It is not quick to accelerate. At times I feel as though there may be something wrong with the engine. I feel as though the car may have a hard time accelerating or like it may stop running or like it may explode. It is a hazard to my health and alarming to my kids as I use it to transport them to school. I have brought it to the dealerships' attention. I have looked on the internet only to find the problem with the transmission is not just my problem. It has been the problem of many other consumers. I have contacted Dodge dealership only to find because I was not the original owner who purchased the vehicle I am not able to have it replaced under the limited powertrain warranty which covers the transmission. I purchased it in October-November 2009. It had 39000 miles on it at the time of purchase. It has always rode hard. I am finding although it is a 4 cylinder engine, it takes alot of gas. It is costing me a great deal as a single parent who uses this vehicle as my primary mode of transportation for myself and my 4 daughters.
Water leaking onto the passenger floor board and carpet of our 2006 Dodge Caravan and in researching regarding our situation, I found that other year models that were built had an improperly installed part in the heating and cooling system causing this matter that is apparently a manufacturer issue and other year minivans had been recalled because of the risk that a water leak in the air conditioning system could trigger the airbags, risking injury to passengers. I just want the vehicle fixed properly as we had noticed a potential issue two years after the vehicle was purchased, but at the time it wasn't leaking bad, well it has gotten worse, saturating the passenger floor, when the a/c is on and in fla we utilize the air quite a bit. Please let us know where we stand, as Dodge corporation is saying there's no recall on our 2006 model, but the problem is the same as what others have been reporting.
