Common problems and easy repairs on a 2013 Grand Caravan

The 2013 Dodge Caravan SXT is a relatively difficult van to maintain, but shouldn’t be too hard for someone experienced in vehicle maintenance. The engine coolant reservoir is not overly visible in the engine bay. This will make it hard to keep an eye on the fluid level. You will have to lower the tire from under the vehicle for reliable access. This can be a problem, as the lowering mechanism can grow rusted to the vehicle over time and be difficult to turn. To change the cabin air filter, you will have to lower the glove box first. This would have been easier if there were a designated panel in the rear of the glove box for access.

Some things are easier on the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. The engine air filter is easy to access, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for access to the filter. These fasteners are easy to disengage. Changing the headlight is easy to do, as you only have to reach behind the housing for access to the bulb. Both the front and rear wiper blades are no problem to change. Other models will require the use of tools, so it’s a nice touch to be able to change these blades with just your hands.
