Four problems related to gas recirculation valve (egr valve) have been reported for the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan based on all problems reported for the 2013 Grand Caravan.
The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving, with the abs and traction control warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to westgate Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (2695 e main st, plainfield, in 46168), to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that due to the fuel relay being integrated into the tipm, the tipm needed to be replaced. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 118,000.
The vehicle intermittently experiences interruption to fuel delivery (?) on the street, highway, and freeway at various speeds. This typically happens when accelerating. The van will be accelerating smoothly and then, suddenly, lose power and act like it is going to stall completely. It will cough and lurch and then resume accelerating. On three occasions it has stopped accelerating entirely, forcing my son and I to coast to the side of the road, during rush hour traffic, without power steering or brakes, and wait until it is ready to resume acceleration. The fuel pump was tested and is fully functional, and the transmission was replaced a year ago. Additionally, during the time periods when it is exhibiting this behavior, it also fails to start on the first attempt. The ignition will crank continuously, the battery has power, but the engine will not engage. This has been a temporary/intermittent issue that would 'vanish' on repeated attempts. Today it will not start at all, leaving us stranded once again. The last time it refused to start entirely we were at a rest area in northern arizona in 124 degree heat for hours. This is incredibly dangerous and mechanics have told me that it is known to be the tipm, which is faulty. If this part is known to be faulty, why is it not recalled?.
The 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan sxt gets stuck in a low gear revving the rpms to 4,000-5,000 rpms while going at low speeds. This has occurred every week since purchase of the vehicle, anywhere from1-3 times a day; it is rare to go a day without the car getting stuck in low gear. This occurs when the car is started and as I pull out. The transmission has been replaced, the battery has been replaced twice and the car has stalled twice. Within the two years of owning the vehicle, it has been in to be repaired 10 times. I purchased the vehicle in 2017 and own it to current date in 2019. I have had three different repair shops attempt to resolve the issue and none of them can. The car still gets stuck in low gear and the rpms rev to 4,000-5,000. This car has a defective transmission and more than likely is part of the defective issues with the tipm, totally integrated power module. (NHTSA action #dp14004).
To whom it may concern; tipm (totally integrated power module) problem, faulty fuel pump related, pumping after turning the vehicle off and draining battery and starting problems related faulty fuel pump and stall vehicle. I found Chrysler corp has recall and class action for faulty fuel pump and tipm problem covered by ext warranty ( 5year upto 70,000 mile) only for upto 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan not for 2013 model, I have been contact to the Dodge/Chrysler dealer in honolulu, hi, said it's not cover. Only up to 36,000 mile basic warranty. So I have to pay $1,200 part plus labor. They recall over 500,000 vehicles Jeep, drango and caravan please verify and confirm for that's not cover for 2013 vehicle. . Read more...
