2014 Dodge Grand Caravan Complaints

Was driving down the highway coming back from Orlando when my air bag light went off. Heard cracking in my head test and all of a sudden it expired and deployed and hit me in the back of the head and almost knocked me out. Made me dizzy and I had my kids in the car. This should not have happend if I was not in a car crash and dodge refuses to fix it. It was faulty without any warning. There are many people this has happend to and the had a extension back in 2024 and to repair them and I never received a letter

The seals in the oil cooler/filter assembly are leaking and causing oil to run down the motor and along the exhaust system underneath potentially causing a serious fire risk. The leak could also cause the engine to seize and pose a risk while driving at highway speeds or in corners. When searching for recalls on the internet it says there isn’t enough vehicles with the problem to trigger a recall. It don’t take long searching to see this is a wide spread well know issue with most all the 3.6 and 3.2l engines. It was a terrible plastic design places in one of the hottest areas of the engine. This issue was so common dodge eventually changed to design of the cooler to correct the safety issue and it was so prevalent on all these engines. The fix is fine but it has left all these other vehicles on the road with the unsafe design flaw.

While driving in the parking lot of my kids school to drop them off in the morning, I heard a loud noise and felt something hit me in the back of my head with some force. It was not painful, but was actually very uncomfortable. I stopped in the parking lot to see what it was. I noticed that my driver side headrest was out of place (the fabric portion was popped forward) away from the plastic backing. I could see the the springs inside the headrest. My husband used a zip tie to pull the headrest back together. My vehicle was not in any accidents to cause this to happen. I did not take it to a dealer to inspect, as it just occurred. There were no warning signs/lights. It was very unexpected and abrupt. No one was injured, but my head was actually uncomfortable and I very glad that I did not have my son driving at the time, as he could have been injured due to the spring loaded force.
