  1. 4th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2001-2007
    What I know. Until my van warms up and I turn it off and restart. My speedometer goes crazy. For a few seconds if speedometer is working the car shifts and runs fine. A few seconds later the speedometer start jumping and car cuts out and tranny may go into limp mode. (Resetting gauges doesn't...

    2002 Dodge Caravan Sport with ~195k miles We started to notice a rough shift while driving. I'm not sure when the fluid was last changed, so I decided to change it and put in a new filter. I grabbed Castrol Transmax High Mileage (Autozone website said it was a fit for my car). There was a bit...

I got to where I was going as I pulled into the parking lot the trans slipped then again as I pulled into the parking spot. I shut her down went in had the visit with...

    I just purchased a used 2016 Town & Country with 66,000 miles. It's bucking at idle speed in forward and reverse when not under load. It bucks so hard that when I take my foot off the brake, it jerks/stutters forward rather than rolling smoothly. When I took it back to the dealer, the only...

    Hello all, I was searching around and didnt find any real easy answers. I have a 2014 T&C. The transmission is lurching and stalling after attaining highway speeds then coming to a stop. Almost as an engine stalls when youre operating a manual and dont push in the clutch. I serviced the...

    So I was trying to get out my torque converter bolts last night and just about rounded one off. I tried an open ended 18mm crows foot, that slipped, I tried another 18mm crows foot that almost fully goes around the bolt, that slipped too. Finally, I was able to fit a socket on the end of the...

    I've never done anything with transmissions in all the vehicles I've owned, so I've been putting this off, but my van needs a rebuild, can't just keep pushing it when I need to reverse. I was just wondering how much of a rebuild I could do without having to drop the transmission? I have the...

    Hi all, I got a used 2012 Town & Country with 144k miles on it in August 2021. I live in Pittsburgh and get around 9mpg when doing just short trips in the city. When I drive 50/50 highway/city I average 12-15mpg. Now that it's winter I'm at about 11mpg. I was having issues with windshield...

    I have an 05 Town and country 3.8 touring. Trans went out and I replaced it with a used trans with only 40k miles on it. It's stuck in limp mode and am wondering if it needs some kind of reprogram or reset.
  11. 5th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2008-2020
    I recently had these 2 codes pop up on my van with 165k miles. It hasn't been the smoothest shifting so I figured something would give eventually. I replaced the torque converter, the pump assembly, bypass valve, VFS Solenoid, stator bearing, cooler lines, all fluid, flushed the cooler, the...
  12. 6th Gen Pacifica 2017+ Voyager 2020+ Caravan 2021+
    My family owns the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew with 116k miles. Now that car prices are coming down, I’m looking at the 2019-2021 Pacifica or Voyager (used). I’m not thrilled with the fit and finish and reliability of our DGC, but I guess it’s the best minivan for other reasons like Stow and...

    Have a 2014 T&C with 124,000 miles on it. Drives fine but about every four days it will go into limp mode and won’t shift to 5th gear. If I put in park and shut off van and restart it works fine. I have noticed it doesn’t do this on the first drive. It’s always after I have driven somewhere and...

    I have a 2003 T&C with roughly 165k miles on the odometer. I am not the original owner, but the van has been in our extended family since new. Knowing that the struts had never been changed and the vehicle's front end was riding rough, I decided I would change them out this past weekend. In...

    2004 T&C 3.8 touring (approx. 145k miles): front end on jackstands, in gear revealed: taking tires/wheels off made easier to see axle shafts, etc.: ... but you can see it's somehow not consistently instructing the axles to spin smooth & uninterrupted NOTE: in an '01 T&C i've experienced a...

    I lost reverse last night while parked on a slight down hill that overlooked a cliff. So I guess that's it for my girl till I get the 4-5 grand necessary to fix it. Just replaced the battery too...

    Dodge Grand Caravan SXT, 2009 3.8L model with Stow 'n Go seating. I purchased a set of used flammable storage cabinets on an online auction and went to pick them up today; 71 mile one-way trip from my home base. Trip out was routine at 60-70 mph, no issues at all. Picked up 7 cabinets, maybe 70...

    As you all read before, the transmission in my 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan, that is saving me from complete homelessness, was malfunctioning whenever I drove over 40MPH. After my initail mechanic just flat out refused to help me and just told me to "buy a newer car", I managed to find a...

    So just for the van, would go to limpmode after driving couple miles. Restart would solve the issue. Looked online and saw replacing the solenoid pack might help. Done replacing, all pit together. Started, shift gears from P to R, then N then when shifted to D the van stalled. Put it back to P...
