Dodge Grand Caravan Problem
4 Reports

Model Years Affected: 1997, 1998, 1999

Verified

Defective speed sensors on the transmission can cause problems with the cruise control and speedometer operation, as well as erratic shifting. The connectors on the sensors can corrode and/or the connector terminals can spread (poor connection), which will create similar symptoms. Any of these problems can cause Check Engine Light illumination.
