2018 Dodge Grand Caravan Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Dodge's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Dodge Grand Caravan? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Grand Caravan towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Grand Caravan is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Grand Caravan's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Dodge Grand Caravan’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Dodge Grand Caravan? Yes. Dodge Grand Caravan transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
