Dodge Problems

Losing or locking your keys in your car is a frustrating experience which can take plenty of time and money to fix. Modern cars like the Dodge Caravan minivan are difficult to break into without smashing the window, which is dangerous as glass can cut you as it breaks and then takes a lot to clean up. While Hollywood makes it look easy to pick a car's lock and then hotwire it to drive off, the reality is modern vehicle security is complex. You should call a mobile locksmith straight away and get them to come and let you into the vehicle.

Dodge's Caravan mini-van is rated to tow up to 1600kg of braked trailer, which would tow a mid-sized boat fairly well. However, an all-wheel-drive or 4x4 vehicle would be better suited to pulling a boat up a slippery boat-ramp instead of the front-driven Caravan.

Chrysler products suffer from a reputation for having hit-or-miss reliability, being that some cars are fault-free gems while others are nightmares of continual issues. Dodge vehicles are no longer sold new in Australia, so I'd suggest looking to options from Kia or Toyota, as well as the Chrysler Grand Voyager if you're desperate for an American van.

The Dodge Nitro can tow up to 2270kg of braked trailer, or 750kg of unbraked trailer.

In short, no. They have a horrible history for sub-par engineering that ends up causing huge reliability issues.There are dozens of other 4WDs you can buy that are much better.

Pop off the door handle cover and remove the window switch panel with a plastic trim removal tool. Undo the window switches, then pop off the circular cover in the door pull pocket and remove the T20 Torx bit inside. There is another T20 Torx bit in the bottom corner of the door panel behind another circular plastic cover. The panel can then be lifted up, and off the door.

The longest Dodge Caravan (or Chrysler Voyager in Australia) is 5072mm while the shortest is 5070mm.

The best way how to program a Dodge Caravan key fob is to insert the key to the ignition and turn it to "run" (when red lights are illuminated). Hold down the unlock button on the auto ignition key, while pressing the panic button on the remote. Hold them both for five seconds, then release both at the same time. Your key is now programmed.

Dodge's Caravan minivan has been built in Windsor, Ontario (Canada) since its introduction in 1983. Before 2010 they were also built in Fenton, Missouri at the St Louis plant, though this has been discontinued. Additionally, there have been two plants in China and one in Chile building Caravans. More than 11,000,000 Caravans have been sold since 1983!
