04 G Caravan growling noise when in drive w/brake applied

Written by: dcurley on Oct 26, 2008 01:07 PM

My 2004 Grand Caravan started making a "growling sound" It sounded like a bad bearing, I brought it in to a shop and the mechanic said it was the alternator. I changed it and replaced the belt. The sound went away. 3 months later the sound was back, louder than ever. Brought it in to Dodge dealer, they said I needed a new power steering pump and water pump. I changed both ... Read More...

2004 Dodge Grande Caravan

Written by: randerson4 on Sep 16, 2008 00:59 PM

Our van has been misfiring and stalling for the last 2 months. We have hooked it up to the computer 3 times with no codes, even though the check engine light is on. We have replaced plugs and wires and coil pack with no improvement. It runs better on hot days with the air conditioner on. Runs well as long as you are giving it gas, when you slow down or stop it sputters and ... Read More...

Re: Whining Noise in Steering [woodbutcher2]

Written by: seacrestis on Mar 09, 2008 02:02 PM

Thanks so much for the info! I have had the same problem for about 6 months on my 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan (83,000 miles). Dealer told me it was a "design flaw" that allowed too much air into the lines and there was nothing they could do about it. I could have had the reservoir and lines replaced and it would lessen the noise a bit, but it would still make noise. I'm going ... Read More...

$10 has seemingly fixed my 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan whining

Written by: brijeshn on Feb 27, 2008 01:41 PM

I had the same whining problem for the last few weeks. It used to last about 5 minutes and would be gone after I had caught up speed. I took it to the dealer who recommended getting the rack and pinion unit replaced for $880.00 . Wow !! I was not prepared for it. I skipped the dealership and did some net surfing, checked the Power Steering Oil level and it seemed a little ... Read More...

Re: 2005 Grand Caravan 3.8L Oil Consumption [frogger123]

Written by: micweb on Feb 01, 2006 10:51 AM

frogger123 bravely asked for a flurry of opinion: "Does this Forum think that Castrol is one of the best Dino oils?" Who knows? Once upon a time, Castrol, as a European oil, was one of the few oils whose cans indicated it passed obscure European and Japanese test requirements that were more severe (due to overhead cam designs and higher rpm) than those for American ...

2002 Dodge Grand Caravan engine dies

Written by: steve67 on Apr 30, 2005 02:53 PM

We have a 2002 Grand Caravan with a 3.3L V6 that we purchased new in December 2001. In June 2003, while driving at about 35 mph (after about an hour on the road) without warning the engine suddenly lost power and died. After getting it to the side of the road, we had to wait about 5 minutes before it would start again. Then it ran fine until the same thing happened (again ... Read More...
