At a glance
- Next to other model years
- Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2014 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
- Top problem
- No problem dominates. The largest, seat belt, covers 65 of the 333 complaints (20%), and airbag is next with 46 (one complaint can fall under more than one problem, so these overlap). A quarter of the 36 owners who gave a mileage for seat belt saw it by about 68,000 miles, and half by about 83,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 35 of the 333 complaints (11%) report a crash, a fire or an injury. The typical vehicle on this site sits at 6%, so this one runs well above it. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 11 reports mention a crash, 13 mention a fire and 18 people were hurt.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- No recall on file is on the same system as seat belt, airbag and stalling. For those, the complaints are all there is.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2015 at 67 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 12. So far in 2026, 6 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.

How this compares
333 complaints is about the median for a 2014 model on this site and about the median for a 2014 minivan. Among the 6 Grand Caravan model years here it ranks 3rd for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
