4/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan draws its heaviest complaint volume from the powertrain and seating systems. On the powertrain side, owners frequently report transmission problems, sluggish or refused forward engagement, fluid leaks, and oil pump failures, sometimes at relatively low mileage. Engine complaints also appear, with some owners describing cylinder head failures and fuel injector issues on the 3.6-liter engine that led to misfires and performance loss. The seat complaint cluster is dominated by a specific and recurring issue: front headrests spontaneously ejecting from their bases while driving, with no collision involved. This pattern appears across multiple reports and describes the headrest physically striking the occupant. Electrical system complaints round out the top three, though at lower volume. The spontaneous headrest ejection and transmission engagement failures are the two most consistently described symptoms in this complaint set.

With Injuries
By System
The 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan has 5 recalls, the most serious involving the automatic transmission pump, which can seize and cut hydraulic pressure, causing the vehicle to suddenly lose power while driving.
Two recalls address the windshield: on certain vehicles, the glass was installed using expired urethane primer that weakens the bond, meaning the windshield can separate from the body in a crash and raise the risk of occupant injury. On vehicles converted for wheelchair accessibility and fitted with QRT-Deluxe or QRT-Max restraint systems, the wheelchair securement hardware may not hold the chair in place during transit, allowing it to shift and injure occupants. There is also a recall covering vehicles equipped with Kidde plastic-handle or push-button fire extinguishers, which may fail to discharge properly when needed.
