Common 2013 Dodge Caravan problems

Based on the information gathered from the sources provided, here is a detailed list of common problems with the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan based on complaints from owners:

  1. Engine Failing to Start: A prevalent issue reported by owners is the engine failing to start, often around 90,000 miles. This problem is typically caused by a failing totally integrated power module (TIPM), which is common in Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler vehicles. Replacing the TIPM can cost around $1,200.
  2. Worn-Out Brakes: Many Grand Caravan models experience worn-out brakes at approximately 40,000 miles. The brake pads and rotors wear out faster than in other minivans, requiring replacement at a cost of around $700, depending on local labor rates.
  3. Transmission Failures: Another significant problem is transmission failures in many Grand Caravan models around 70,000 miles. Parts in the transmission can break as the vehicle ages, necessitating the replacement of the transmission and torque converter, which can be costly at nearly $4,000.
  4. Recalls: The 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan has had three recalls, with the most serious one related to a window vent switch that may overheat and start a fire. The other recalls involve airbags, which are common across various makes and models.
  5. Entertainment Technology: The entertainment technology in the 2013 Grand Caravan is considered basic compared to other minivans from that year, featuring a simple stereo system. Safety technology is average, with optional features like blind spot monitoring, a rearview camera, and parking sensors.
  6. Value and Depreciation: The 2013 Grand Caravan is noted for having mechanical problems, affecting its overall value. While it is priced lower than some competitors like the Honda Odyssey or Volkswagen Routan, it experiences worse than average depreciation, losing about 15% of its value per year.
  7. Engine Performance: The 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan is equipped with a robust 3.6L V6 engine producing 283 horsepower and achieving up to 20 MPG. Its performance is considered average, taking around 8 seconds to accelerate from 0-60 MPH.

These common problems highlight some of the key issues faced by owners of the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan, ranging from starting issues to brake and transmission failures, as well as concerns about technology and value.

2015-11-09

EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2015-10-31
  • VIN: 2C4RDGCG0DR
  • Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
  • Summary: THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE RANDOMLY WORKING AND NOT WORKING ON BOTH SIDES. ONE MINUTE BOTH THE BRAKE AND TURN LIGHT WORKS, THE NEXT ONE OR ANOTHER OR BOTH DON'T WORK. THEY ARE LED MODULES THAT REQUIRE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY BE REPLACED. THE VAN ONLY HAS 49,700 MILES ON IT. TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY AND THE WIRE HARNESS COSTS $700 PLUS LABOR EACH SIDE. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP (NOT DODGE) CONFIRMED THAT IT IS THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND NOT A COMPUTER MODULE OR SWITCH. THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT AND THE REVERSE LAMPS WORK PERFECTLY. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU HAVE YOUR RUNNING LIGHTS ON OR IF THEY ARE OFF. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THEY ARE NOT WORKING. EVEN THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR ON THE DASH WILL BE BLINKING NORMALLY THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BLINK FAST (INDICATING LIGHT NOT WORKING) THEN GO RIGHT BACK TO BLINKING AT NORMAL SPEED. THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS ARE ACTUALLY BLINKING AND INDICATING CORRECTLY WHEN THE TURN/BRAKE LIGHT IS WORKING AND WHEN IT IS NOT BUT THERE IS NO WARNING. THEN THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND WILL RANDOMLY COME ON THEN FLICKER OFF. I FOUND THAT HEAT (OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES) PLAYS A ROLE. THE WARMER (OVER 50 DEGREES) IT IS, THE MORE APT THEY ARE TO QUIT WORKING. LED LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST LONGER THAN STANDARD BULBS BUT THESE ARE NOT. I CONTACTED BOTH A DEALER AND DODGE CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD "WE'RE SORRY, BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS". WHEN SOMETHING THIS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE GOES BAD ON A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND RANDOMLY WORKS/DOESN'T WORK, IT BECOMES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I AM WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS TO COME IN BUT IT IS TAKING 2 WEEKS AND IN THE MEAN TIME, I HAVE TO DRIVE NEVER KNOWING WHEN THE TURN/BRAKE LIGHTS ARE GOING TO WORK AND WHEN THEY ARE NOT.
