| When coming down an incline with the cruise control set, the motor begins to rev accessively within rpm redline and the speed of the vehicle starts to drop. this problem can only be corrected by pulling off the road and turning the vehicle off. the vehicle has been to two different dealerships, and the problem was reported to the better business bureau. people who work at the dealership have commented that they have the same problem with their 2008 dodge caravan as well, but dodge has said it is acceptable. *tr | |||

| At 1,200 miles i was going 70mph (cruise control on) up a hill on rt 40 in tennessee and the transmission went into limp mode 2nd gear. engine light came on. i drove the shoulder at 30mph and took an exit. roadside assist towed it to helms dodge. they pulled a p0750 dtc code (solenoid a fault i think) but the transmission had reset and they couldn't make it go bad in 13 miles of driving. i asked them to check fluid level -- they said they would. they said if it happens again to turn it off for a few minutes and it may reset again. but, i made it home to ohio again without incident. today, at 2,900 miles, it happened again! my wife had just driven it home from work and parked for 30 minutes (engine off). we went to go out to eat and 1000 feet from home (at 20 mph) it went into limp. but no engine light this time. i drove back into the driveway and let it sit (off) about 10 minutes. then i tried it again and it shifted okay. i called the kings' chrysler/dodge dealer service rep (rob) and he said i should have it towed in by roadside assistance. which i just did... bill's towing picked it up at 9:15 (11-7-07) to be continued.... *tr | |||

| Chrysler had a recall on many of their minivans built in january 2008, for replacement of the front hubs and wheel bearings. my 2008 dodge grand caravan had a wheel bearing go out at 35,000 miles and was replaced under warranty. i have asked why my van is not on the recall. no one seems to be able to explain. i now have almost 50,000 miles and the only warranty is the lifetime power train warranty. it is starting to make the noise again intermittantly. i don't trust this vehicle. | |||
