It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Dodge Grand Caravan transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood.

Questions About 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your 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 my Dodge tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Grand Caravan’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my Grand Caravan transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Dodge Grand Caravan’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Dodge Grand Caravan transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Dodge Grand Caravan can develop a transmission fluid leak.
