Questions About 2004 Dodge Caravan’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Dodge's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Dodge Caravan? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Caravan’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Caravan is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Caravan's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2004 Caravan’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Dodge. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Dodge Caravan? Yes. Dodge Caravan transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.

You might even experience transmission failure.
