Why does the check engine light in my Caravan turn on when I start my car?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is just your Caravan testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why is my Dodge Caravan making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Dodge Caravan. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Dodge Caravan engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I add water to my Dodge Caravan radiator?

Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my Caravan to suddenly stop?
