Common 1991 Dodge Grand caravan problems
The 1991 Dodge Grand Caravan, like any vehicle, has its share of common problems reported by owners. While there is no specific data for the 1991 model year, we can look at the general issues found in Dodge Grand Caravans from various years to get an idea of potential problems.
- Power Door Lock Failure: Power door lock failure is a common problem in various model years of the Dodge Caravan, including the 1991 model. This issue is often attributed to a faulty key or internal switch, which can cause the door locks to malfunction. Drivers may notice that their doors are unlocked when they believed they had locked them.
- Engine Stalling: Engine stalling is another common problem in the Dodge Caravan, including the 1991 model. This issue can be caused by a dirty throttle body, which may result in low engine idle speed or frequent stalling. Cleaning the throttle body usually corrects this issue.
- Oil Leaks: Oil leaks are a common problem in the Dodge Caravan, including the 1991 model. These leaks may be traced back to the oil filter adapter in the engine block, the gasket itself, or the crankshaft seal. Dodge has made revised oil filter adapters to address this problem.
- Front Crankshaft Seal Popping Out: Many 2006 Dodge Caravan owners have complained about their minivan’s crankshaft seal popping out. This issue can cause the check engine light and oil warning lights to switch on, and may also lead to an oil leak.
- Faulty Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM): While this issue is more prevalent in later model years, such as the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan, it is worth mentioning as it can affect various systems in the vehicle, including the electrical system, windows, and doors.
These are some of the most commonly reported problems in the Dodge Grand Caravan, including the 1991 model year. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent or address these issues, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the vehicle.
