A/C Repair Service for Your Dodge Grand Caravan

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Dodge Grand Caravan?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Dodge vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C systems. Bring your Dodge Grand Caravan to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Dodge Grand Caravan A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Grand Caravan A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Dodge’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Dodge Grand Caravan A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Dodge Grand Caravan A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Grand Caravan — without all the sweat puddles!

2012 Dodge Grand Caravan A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my Grand Caravan air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my Grand Caravan A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Grand Caravan's A/C system.
  • Does my Grand Caravan A/C use gas? Your Grand Caravan’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • My Grand Caravan’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Grand Caravan creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Grand Caravan’s A/C to work? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Grand Caravan’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
