The 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan is equipped with a spare tire that will require replacement at some point. It is recommended to change your tires every 30,000 to 50,000 miles to avoid accidents on the road. Ensuring that your tires are in optimal condition is crucial for safety and preventing crashes. Issues like feathering, cupping, and premature tire wear may arise with this part. It is important to regularly check the tire pressure monthly and inspect for any punctures from sharp objects.

    Hello, I purchased a brand new 2018 Dodge Caravan SXT Plus two years ago, and I just realized it doesn't have a spare tire. Can I still file a complaint even though they didn't inform me about this at the time of purchase?

    In 2018, my Grand Caravan SXT lacks a spare tire and winch, a fact I discovered only when experiencing a blowout. Needless to say, I was quite displeased with the situation.

    Like many other car manufacturers, Dodge made the controversial decision to eliminate the spare tire from their Grand Caravan in 2017. Consumers who wanted a spare could pay $500 plus additional fees to have one retrofitted into the trunk. Unsurprisingly, this change did not sit well with Dodge Grand Caravan owners. While it seemed that the absence of a spare tire in the 2017 model might continue into 2018, the Grand Caravan SE, SE Plus, SXT, and GT models now come equipped with spares. This adjustment could have been prompted by customer feedback or other factors.

    I recently purchased a pre-owned Grand Caravan, but it didn't include a spare tire. However, it did have the necessary cable and winch. To solve the issue, I borrowed the lower clamshell and tire from my 2011 Town & Country. The tire isn't in the best condition since it's from 2011 and won't last forever, so I'm currently on the lookout for a new one.

    The air compressor is useless for anything more than a basic flat tire. When we experienced a blowout near Atlanta, we discovered this the hard way. Is this how a car should be sold???? Also, don't forget, the steering wheel for driving your car costs $1000.

    I purchased a 2018 caravan sxt and was instructed on how to take off the tire and given guidance on where to locate the spare. However, when I actually needed it, the spare tire was missing! The compartment for the jack was empty, the console plug did not have a hole through the steel, and there was no winch mechanism underneath.

    I'm sorry, but our 2018 model does not come with a spare tire. Instead, it features an air compressor that can release air or a special gel intended for fixing minor punctures.
