Dodge Grand Caravan owners have reported a total of 15,436 problems for their cars built in the 25 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Dodge Grand Caravan. The 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan cars have the most problems reported (1,894 problems).
The following chart shows the 32 most common problems for Dodge Grand Caravan cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's electrical system (4,062 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's air bags (1,657 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Dodge Grand Caravan of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Grand Caravan model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Dodge Grand Caravan model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
