The 2004 Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan, Town & Country, Voyager, and Grand Voyager represent a generation of popular minivans known for their versatility and family-friendly features. These vehicles were built on the Chrysler "RS" platform, offering a range of powertrain options including the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, the 3.3L V6 engine, and the 3.8L V6 engine, all paired with either a 3-speed automatic or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The 2004 models boasted several upgrades compared to their predecessors, including a new instrument panel, improved interior materials, and enhanced safety features. Notable design elements included a spacious cabin, sliding doors on both sides, and fold-down seats, allowing for flexible cargo configurations suitable for families and diverse lifestyles. While the 2004 Dodge minivans were lauded for their practicality and comfort, they also gained a reputation for certain common maintenance issues. These included problems with the transmission, particularly the 4-speed automatic, leading to rough shifting and potential transmission failure. Additionally, the V6 engines were known for their vulnerability to oil leaks and excessive oil consumption. Other recurring issues included faulty power steering pumps, failing wheel bearings, and electrical problems stemming from aging wiring. To address these potential concerns, the 2004 Dodge Caravan Service Shop Manual was developed, serving as a comprehensive guide for technicians and owners seeking to perform repairs and maintenance on these vehicles. The manual provides detailed technical specifications, troubleshooting procedures, and wiring diagrams, enabling efficient and accurate diagnosis and repair of any mechanical or electrical issues encountered.
