Problem overview

Some Dodge Grand Caravan owners report experiencing issues with their transmission being stuck in reverse, alongside malfunctioning automatic doors and backup cameras. These problems may stem from transmission issues such as slipping in first or reverse gear, which can indicate underlying hydraulic system or internal component failures. Additionally, owners may notice delayed engagement when shifting from reverse to drive, often linked to low or dirty transmission fluid, which can hinder proper shifting. Specifically, those with the 62TE transmission, commonly found in newer models, have reported problems related to the low clutch drum sealing ring lands that can prevent reverse engagement. To address these concerns, it is crucial for owners to check the transmission fluid level and quality, inspect the solenoid pack and electrical components, and consider that a lack of servicing or incorrect fluid usage may lead to worn reverse gears, potentially requiring a transmission rebuild or replacement. It is recommended for affected owners to seek inspection from a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and resolve these issues.
