NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Electrical faults are the most common theme owners of the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan report, with complaints spanning a wide range of symptoms, engines running after the key is removed, battery and relay issues, warning lights illuminating without clear cause, and various module-related glitches. The engine category draws the second-highest complaint volume, with owners describing stalling, sudden loss of power, unexpected RPM surges, and transmission-related bucking or downshifting during normal driving. Seat complaints, the third-largest group, center heavily on the sliding door and seating components, with owners frequently noting that the power sliding doors fail to latch properly and trigger persistent door-ajar warnings. A smaller number of reports describe an airbag deploying unexpectedly without a collision, though that pattern appears in fewer complaints than the electrical and engine concerns.

With Injuries
By System
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan has 6 recalls, the most serious involving a vent window switch in the driver's door armrest that can overheat and start a fire.
The windshield on certain vehicles may have been bonded with expired primer, allowing it to separate in a crash and raise the risk of injury to occupants. Vehicles equipped with Rollx QRT-Deluxe or QRT-Max wheelchair restraints have a separate concern: the restraint system can fail to secure a wheelchair during transit, allowing it to move and injure passengers. On the tire side, certain vehicles have tire pressure monitoring sensors that may not communicate properly with the vehicle, causing the warning light to mask a genuinely low tire rather than flag it accurately, which can lead to tire failure. There is also a recall covering an included Kidde fire extinguisher that may not discharge properly when needed. A label recall affects certain vehicles whose VIN may contain an incorrect manufacturer identifier.
