20 complaints about the 2014 Dodge Caravan

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.

Electrical systemEngine & cooling

I have 2 complaints. One is that the driver's side window doesn't always work. It works sometimes and other times does not. It's as if there might be a loose connection or something. The second is that there is a constant ticking noise in the engine. There is no sign of oil leak. I check it regularly. My thought is perhaps a valve or a belt. But I'm not sure. The vehicle still drives. It has not broken down.

Other & unknown

I purchased this vehicle new and so there was never any stickers inside/on/around the headrest. When removing it for cleaning/putting on seat covers, the air bag light came on. After taking it to the dealership, I was informed that there's a wire connected to the head rest and it is supposed to tilt forward in an accident. Now, this would be a great safety feature to have, but how can it be considered important and yet not have any sort of information about it...Except a tiny line somewhere in the manual. ...

Read the full complaint

Seriously...When's the last time someone read a manual? (Ok...Honestly I did years ago with my first car, but I lived in the country with no cable, no internet...No air conditioning in nc! I had nothing else to do, but that's not realistic!). Dodge is refusing to fix this as "it's listed in the manual". How can I have a safety sticker on my visor not to use the mirror while driving, but yet not have anything on something this important..And this new. I've never had a vehicle before that you couldn't remove the headrest on and none of my friends had heard of this either!
