What owners wrote
The day I picked up this new 2013 dodge grand caravan se/avp (6-8-13) I noticed a noise upon deceleration, just before stopping; and also when on a neighborhood street and going 15 to 20 MPH. As best I can describe it, it sounds like a turkey call coming from the area in front of the driver. If car is shifted into neutral the noise stops. Drove car for 500 miles hoping noise would stop, then brought it to dealer.
My 2013 dodge grand caravan was purchased new during feb. Of 2013. Shortly after the purchase of this vehicle I noticed that the transmission was slipping. The transmission then started to go into manual mode for no reason. I have also been driving and the van loses all power to the front wheels. All of the problems listed happen intermittently. During the first four trips to multiple dodge dealerships they stated they could not reproduce the problem and no errors were showing up in the computer.
