| Description of the problem | 2005 dodge caravan. I had an engine light come on and heard a clicking noise in the engine. I had it checked by a non-dodge dealer and he researched and was told that this engine has had problems with cracked flywheels causing shifting problems. I thought it unusual that a main part such as a fly wheel would crack. I took it to classic dodge in denton, tx and was told that the flywheel is cracked and needs to be replaced at a cost of $1080. 00 have any other reports of this type been sent? |
