    Hi guys,

    I have a 2005 dodge grand caravan with 145,000km. Lately I noticed that if I reach a speed of 80kmp the engine will start to shudder. It also feels slipping on slow speeds. Before it started to overheat and leak alot of coolant from the radiator on the driver side. Installed a new radiator, cap and thermostat. Leak is gone but slipping and shuddering happens more often. Thanks Jojo

    There have been problem reports linked to the torque converter on the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan and it seems as if your minivan is a candidate. Indeed, on looking at your problem it seems to fit like a glove. The recall number is 10015066. It involves the overflow tube and seal and overheating. Since your tranny has overheated and since it cost you lots of coolant, I suspect that is where your problem is.

    Have your dealer look for this particular number and technical service bulletins relating to it. More than 100,000 minivans were recalled for this problem. It should be repaired free by your dealer.
