THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR MAKES A LOUD BUZZING SOUND AND SOMETIMES REFUSES TO CLOSE. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE CARAVANS AND CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVANS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE BUZZING SOUND SOUNDS LIKE AN AIR COMPRESSOR RUNNING. THE DOORS LOOK AS THOUGH IT LATCHES BUT COMES BACK UNMATCHED. I'M READING THAT THIS WOULD BE THE LOCK ACTUATOR. I ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED BUT I'M AFRAID I WILL BE IN A HURRY AND THE DOOR WILL COME OPEN WHILE MY CHILDREN ARE RIDING IN THE BACK.

ENGINE
MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON MY 2014 GRAND DODGE CARAVAN. THE CODE CAME BACK AS P0302- MISFIRE IN CYLINDER TWO. I CHANGED ALL MY SPARK PLUGS. IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC SAID THE MISFIRE IS STILL HAPPENING. MY MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THERE IS LOW COMPRESSION ON CYLINDER #2. THIS IS A RECURRING AND COMMONLY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE PENTASTAR ENGINE! THIS VAN ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES! HE SAID HE NEEDS TO OPEN THE ENGINE AND REPLACE THE LIFTERS AND INTAKE VALUES. HE SAID THIS IS RARE AND DEFINITELY IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE! RECALL AND HAVE THIS FIXED ALREADY!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2014 DODGE CARAVAN W/ ABOUT 80,000 MILES HAD A P-0302 CYLINDER MISFIRE-CODE. THIS WAS CAUSED BY A BEARING FAILURE ON ROCKER ROCKER ARM ON LEFT SIDE, APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AFTER THE 6 YEAR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY RAN OUT. CYLINDER MISFIRES WERE INTERMITTENT AND CAUSED ROUGH IDLING. THE VAN IS NOT DRIVEN ROUGHLY AND THIS IS VERY EARLY IN THE ENGINE'S LIFE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN. IT SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CAR / ENGINE, INDICATING SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN...

SERVICE BRAKES
10/19/2019, VEHICLE STATIONARY: THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR CALIPER FROZE IN THE FULL-ON POSITION WHEN LIGHTLY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I WAS JUST A MILE FROM HOME AND DROVE IT TO MY GARAGE (LESS THAT 30 MPH). IT WAS DANGEROUSLY HOT AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE AND MAJOR BREAKDOWN HAD I BEEN ON MY 18-HOUR FREEWAY COMMUTE. I JACKED UP THE REAR, REMOVED THE TIRE AND SAW THAT THE E-BRAKE SPRING HAD NOT RETURNED THE CALIPER TO THE BRAKE OFF POSITION. I WAS ABLE TO RETURN IT BY LIGHTLY TAPPING THE E-BRAKE LEVER TO THE OFF POSITION. AT THAT POINT THE BRAKE CALIPER MOSTLY WORKED AS IT SHOULD. HOWEVER, RE-APPLYING THE E-BRAKE WOULD AGAIN REFREEZE THE BRAKE TO FULL ON. I REPLACED WITH A MOPAR OEM CALIPER AND ALL IS WELL AGAIN. I SUSPECT THE E-BRAKE MECHANISM WITHIN THE CALIPER FAILED. ALL MY MILEAGE IS EXTENDED FREEWAY COMMUTING BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT STATE RESIDENCES. THE FRONT BRAKE PADS HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED AND STILL MEASURED 5/16' THICK. THE ORIGINAL REAR PADS HAD AT LEAST HALF THEIR LIFE SPAN AND I DID NOT REPLACE THOSE EITHER. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I FEAR USING THE E-BRAKE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE CALIPER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR CANNOT TAKE THE LIMITED E-BRAKE USE WITHOUT FAILING.
