Your vehicle’s starter or ignition switch is something you probably take for granted—that is, until it stops working. Typically, starters last anywhere from 100,000 to 150,000 miles before needing to be replaced. However, if you drive a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, you may be experiencing issues with your starter much sooner.
Is there a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan ignition switch recall?
Not yet. At least, not as of September 2020. Still, there have been some owner complaints about this issue on its Vehicle History page.
If you drive a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, read on to learn more about these reported ignition switch issues and what they entail.
Recurring Starter Issues
One Vehicle History review by Peggy M., a 2006 Grand Caravan owner, reports that her van has had the starter replaced two times within the past year. This implies that the ignition switch and starter problems are recurring issues.
The owner of this model did not note how many miles were on the vehicle at the time of each starter failure. However, it is certainly not normal for any vehicle to go through two starters within the span of a single year.
The owner did not mention in her review if she reported the issue directly to the manufacturer or the NHTSA.
What Should You Do if Your 2006 Grand Caravan is Recalled?
