Owner-reported

2014 Dodge Grand Caravan mileage at failure

223 of the 359 complaints on file for the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Component	Median	Middle half	Based on
Electrical System	Median 40,000 miles	Middle half 17,000–80,000 miles	Based on 68 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Most complaints NHTSA received since May 17, 2021 give no mileage. So that they aren't undercounted, each one received since then that gives a mileage also stands in for those that gave none, which can put a component's median above most of the mileages it is based on.

Tire Pressure Warning may Illuminate/FMVSS 138

NHTSA #14V632000 · Tires — Pressure Monitoring and Regulating Systems · NHTSA notice

Reported October 8, 2014 · Chrysler Group LLC

Potentially affected: 10,390 vehicles

Repair completion: 75.82% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Manufacturer campaign P63 · Owners notified October 23, 2014 · Vehicles built March 20, 2014 – April 22, 2014 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles manufactured March 20, 2014, to April 22, 2014, and 2014 Jeep Wrangler vehicles manufactured March 21, 2014, to April 22, 2014. Due to a software error, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

Safety consequence

If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Chrysler has notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the TPMS module, free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P63.

ODI #11766967

Incident: September 23, 2026 · Filed: September 25, 2026

The headrest safety feature deployed while the car was parked with the key OUT of the ignition. The internal plastic components have failed and broken and the headrest is not repairable. This incident happened on 9/23/2026. No prior warning lights were displayed and no previous symptoms were visible before failure. Currently, part is available for inspection. A dealer was contacted to check on warranty replacement. Vehicle is out of even the "extended" warranty due to the time frame being from date of service instead of being extended from the end of the initial warranty period. Part was not inspected by the dealer. Due to the potential severe impact these devices could enforce, these headrests should be recalled and replaced with new designed headrests and/or replaced with standard non-safety headrests for the life of the vehicles.
