ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Electrical: Intermittently, the headlights will dim for a second then return to normal—whether at an idle at a traffic light/stop sign, or at highway speeds. The turn signal will also pause briefly, breaking the normal clicking rhythm. Sliding door: The sliding door (Driver side) just began experiencing problems on 08/10/2023—upon completing the opening cycle, the door would not latch in the open position, accompanied by a clicking sound. When closing the door, it would stop short of latching closed—again accompanied with the clicking sound. It would click 3-4 times, then stop—the door remaining ajar. This happens regardless the mechanism used to operate the procedure: the button on the console above the dash, the button near the manual door opener (on center pillar), the button on the remote, as well as the exterior door handle. The door will open/close latching properly with manual operation.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Many 2010 Dodge Grand Caravans were covered under a recall for a failed WIN module (NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V373000) in which the key can move to the off or accessory positions. Though our Grand Caravan is not covered, our WIN module has failed in the same manner as those covered in the recall. The van and WIN module was inspected and diagnosed by our local Chrysler, Dodge dealership. Keys have been loose in the WIN module and indicator lights related to the failure of the WIN module come on intermittently due to the electrical issue caused by the failed WIN module.

SEATS
While driving with my three daughters in the car, the driver side headrest activated and hit me in the back of the head. This was random and no warning was given. As a result the headrest deployed and it cannot be fixed/put back. I currently have a strong headache and am still feeling a little dizzy after the incident.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Transmission Went out Last year I just found out I could report it this seems to be a common issue with these Vans and would be nice to get some help with repair costs as I was told around 6k to repair. Also the flywheel has a crack in it I ordered a new oem replacement hoping the transmission shop can replace that while they do the repairs.

ENGINE
Like the other hundreds of thousands 3.6 Litre V6 engines with the notorious oil filter housing/oil cooler oil leak, mine just started at 120,000 miles. I'm the only person to ever change the engine oil and oil filter in this vehicle. I have always torqued the oil filter to spec (18 ft. lbs). There should be a recall on this faulty part.
