“Az - 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan r/t, approx 63,500 mi. 2 weeks ago I went to start the vehicle and it wouldn't start. I assumed it was the battery because its a fairly new vehicle. I gave it a jump and the vehicle started. I set the time as it had reset to 12:00am but radio stations were still programmed. I went on a 3hr drive back home with no issues and figured the battery was charged by the time I got home. Before I went inside for the night, I attempted to start vehicle up and it started with no issues. …”
NHTSA complaint #11131116, filed 2018-09, 63,500 miles“Vehicle pulses while shifting through gears, google shows a recall s44, for transaxle oil pump. I called Dodge customer service and was told by operator that it does show up in the service notification. So I called dealership to schedule appointment, and was told it's not a recall. So I called customer service again, got a different operator, who told me that she also sees it in the service notification, she called the dealership and talked to them, patched me through to schedule appointment, and dealership told me it wouldn't be covered, and that I will have to pay.”
