Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, public domain. Complaint counts reflect what owners reported and are not a measure of failure rate per vehicle sold.

What this can and cannot tell you: these are complaints owners chose to file, not a failure rate. Popular models accumulate more of them simply by being common. How this is built.

Owners filed 9,702 complaints with NHTSA about the 2008–2020 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 5,885 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.

Failures are spread across the mileage range, with the middle half between 45,000 and 103,520 miles. The median is 74,640 miles.

The most-reported areas are the electrical system (35.2% of complaints, typically around 80,000 miles), the engine (9.4% of complaints, typically around 89,000 miles), problems owners could not categorise (8.4% of complaints, typically around 71,000 miles).

27 recall campaigns cover this generation.

If you arrived asking “is it reliable?” — this page answers the version of that question the data can support: which problems owners reported, and at what mileage.

How many miles does a 2008–2020 Dodge Grand Caravan last?

Half of the failure reports on the 2008–2020 Dodge Grand Caravan were filed by 75,000 miles and 90% by 137,000 miles — figures drawn from 5,885 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.

68 reports (1.2%) came in past 200,000 miles — each one proof a Grand Caravan reached that mileage, not that it died there.

Before you buy a 2008–2020 Grand Caravan: the 3-minute check

Generated from 5,885 mileage-tagged complaints, 27 recall campaigns, 4 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.

  1. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 27 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
  2. Check electrical on 2008–2013 cars. TIPM-7 fuel pump relay failure: the internal relay contacts degrade, causing intermittent no-start, stalling while driving, and the fuel pump continuing to run with the key off. One of the most-complained-about defects…
  3. Check engine on 2011–2013 cars. 3.6L Pentastar left-bank cylinder head valve guide and valve seat wear (driver's side tick, cylinder 2 misfire), covered by Chrysler warranty extension X56 rather than a recall.
  4. Check ignition switch on 2008–2010 cars. The ignition switch can move out of the RUN position while driving, shutting off the engine and disabling the airbags; subject to recall.
  5. Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
  6. End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.

For a buyer, failures on this generation are spread rather than concentrated: the middle half falls between 45,000 and 104,000 miles, with a median of 75,000. There is no single mileage threshold to watch, which means condition and maintenance records are more informative than the odometer.

On inspection, the electrical system and the engine are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The electrical system in particular shows a median failure mileage of 80,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.

None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

Which systems, and when

Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 74,640 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.

The electrical system accounts for 35.2% of complaints (3,414 reports, 1,787 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 80,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 53,000 and 109,000 miles.

A single system taking 35.2% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.

The engine accounts for 9.4% of complaints (910 reports, 635 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 89,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 65,000 and 119,000 miles.

Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 8.4% of complaints (815 reports, 390 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 71,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 50,000 and 100,000 miles.

The airbag system accounts for 8.2% of complaints (791 reports, 284 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 76,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 50,000 and 110,000 miles.

The transmission and driveline accounts for 7.1% of complaints (688 reports, 454 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 80,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 50,000 and 108,000 miles.

Body structure accounts for 5.9% of complaints (572 reports, 350 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 60,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 40,000 and 80,000 miles.

Differences between model years

Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2008 model year drew the most — 1,965 complaints — while 2020 drew the fewest at 27. The median year sits at 656.

That makes 2008 an outlier: roughly 3.0 times the median year of this generation. A single year standing that far apart usually reflects either a first-year issue that was later corrected, or a component change introduced for that year. Anyone shopping this generation has a straightforward reason to prefer a different year, all else being equal.

Recalls and what they cover

NHTSA records 27 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.

The campaigns cluster around the airbag system (6), the electrical system (4), equipment (4). Repeated recalls against the same area of the car generally mean the first remedy did not fully resolve the underlying problem.

Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

Reported severity

What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 9,702 complaints against this generation:

Fires

These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.

Documented problems

Electrical 2008–2013

TIPM-7 fuel pump relay failure: the internal relay contacts degrade, causing intermittent no-start, stalling while driving, and the fuel pump continuing to run with the key off. One of the most-complained-about defects in NHTSA's database for this vehicle.

Engine 2011–2013

3.6L Pentastar left-bank cylinder head valve guide and valve seat wear (driver's side tick, cylinder 2 misfire), covered by Chrysler warranty extension X56 rather than a recall.

Ignition Switch 2008–2010

The ignition switch can move out of the RUN position while driving, shutting off the engine and disabling the airbags; subject to recall.

Body / Doors

Power sliding door and power liftgate motor, cable and wiring harness failures persist across the whole generation.
