“My wife was driving our 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan home from the store in may 2019 when the engine stalled and shut off in an intersection. Thankfully someone stopped to help push the van out of the intersection. We were able to get the van towed to our local dealer/service. Diagnostics indicated an engine misfire and service technician found low compression in cylinder #3. Further troubleshooting determined the problem was a valve failure and the dealer repairs cost us over $2,700. …”
NHTSA complaint #11207095, filed 2019-05, 76,000 miles“Intermittently the vehicle will shut off engine during stop and with have to turn key over again. We've had this van for 3 weeks and it has happened twice. Both times have been when decelerating to a stop. The first time it happened while in reverse and the second time it happened when in drive moving forward to a stop.”
NHTSA complaint #11414531, filed 2021-04, 80,000 miles“Check engine light came on indicating the need for a new cylinder coil and or new spark plug. After replacing, check engine light remained on and the problem did not go away. ( irregular idle, engine noise not in tune, bumping noise, like it wants to kill, or go off) the noise is only apparent when at stop. Mileage may be affected also.”
