I got the vehicle yesterday and the check engine light was on so the dealer do a obd 2 scan and it show a miss fire in the number 2 cinders so we was think it just need spark plugs so I took it to Dodge and had new spark plugs put on and it did nothing to fix the problem so they suggested it was the fuel injecter for the number 2 cinders so I had them replaced it and that didn't fix the problem so they came back to told me they think it is the heads in the van the check engine light stays on and I only feel the miss fire when I am idling no other time the guy at Dodge said they run into this alot with this year and others I have done some research and find alot of people r having the same problem I am starting to think is could be a manufacturing problem tomorrow I am taking the van somewhere else to have a second opinion done.
About 1 week ago my check engine light came on. The code reader said it was a p302, misfire in #2. The vehicle idles rough and sometimes stalls while driving. Other 2017 Grand Caravans have had a recall for a very similar reason, but my VIN is not included in that. I feel it should be. Also the company has extend its engine warranty on cylinder heads to 10 years or 150,000 miles on 2012 caravans with same engine with the same problem. Now the want $3,600 to fix what seems to be a inherent problem with that engine. Not fair! 1 affected product.
Driving on highway about 75 mph with cruise set. It was almost as if the vehicle shut off, I lost all connection and my computer went whack. All the check engine lights came on etc . It slowed my car down, and reset my radio etc . But than all of a sudden it all came back on and I proceeded . But scared me and this could have caused a serious wreck. It's scheduled to go into the shop and be checked over this week.
Vehicle check engine light came on. Took vehicle to licensed garage for analysis. The code 2 indicated a replacement of the coil and sparkplugs need to be done. After mechanic changed items, the check engine light came on again. Took vehicle back to mechanic and after research and spending $604. 71 in repair charges, my mechanic, after conferring with dealership personnel was advised there was a problem with the #2 cylinder. Took vehicle to orchard dealership and after additional expense found that they did warranty work on the cylinder. My mechanic advised that the initial repairs were unnecessary as the plugs and coil were fine. I contacted Chrysler for reimbursement. They denied same stating that I did not have the vehicle serviced at a dealership initially. Prior to the repair the vehicle would hesitate and balk when driving. This is my daughters vehicle [xxx] along with our 2 grandchildren. Chrysler did not admit to a vehicle problem with this engine until my mechanic went to the dealership. Warranty repairs were then made. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
About 6 months ago my check engine light came on. The code reader said it was a misfire in #2. The vehicle idles rough and sometimes stalls while driving. While driving on the highway we got stuck in traffic, the vehicle stalled. Thankfully it started right back up. Another instance, I was backing out of my driveway, I stopped because a car was coming, when I proceeding to back out the car stalled. Spark plugs and engine coal were changed. Did not fix the problem. Other 2017 Grand Caravans has a recall for a very similar reason, but my VIN is not included in that. I feel it should be.
