Problem overview

Some Dodge Grand Caravan owners report experiencing shuddering during acceleration, accompanied by RPM fluctuation and a persistent check engine light indicating a coil 2 misfire. These issues may stem from bad motor mounts, which can lead to increased vibrations during acceleration. Additionally, problems with spark plugs and fuel intake have also been noted as potential causes of shuddering in similar models. The coil 2 misfire may indicate a faulty ignition coil, spark plug, or wiring issue related to cylinder 2. Furthermore, a failing crankshaft position sensor could contribute to both the RPM fluctuation and misfire. To effectively address these concerns, it is recommended that owners seek a thorough diagnostic check from a qualified mechanic to identify and resolve the underlying issues promptly.
