Dodge Grand Caravan problems, by model year and system
1,947 complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the Dodge Grand Caravan 2016–2020, and the 4 systems the record is deep on — electrical (610), body and structure (413), transmission and drivetrain (337), engine (226). Each system has a page across the years; 10 model-year pages go deeper still. Every figure is a linked federal record; none is a failure rate or a verdict on one car.

Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).
