2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Electrical System Problems

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact discovered a mileage discrepancy after purchasing the vehicle. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was approximately 116,000. The contact stated that a month after the vehicle was purchased, the transmission failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for repair, and it was discovered that the mileage was 131,000. The contact was unable to use the warranty due to the mileage discrepancy.

Mileage: 131,000

My 2016 dodge grand caravan has all of a sudden lost power on half the fuse box making it so the key (fob) says iuyts A bad key a total of 3 times so far as well as this time will not turn over at all, also the last time I went to put fuel in it half the gas was on the ground due to a faulty gas line on the fuel neck. It also has a fluctuateing rpm at stop lights. And might turn off and be hard to restart in the middle of an intersection.I would hope to have these things fixed in a recall soon.

Sliding doors do not work. Driver side sliding door stopped working 1 month after purchasing from dealership, and passenger door only opens and closes some times. Safety of my family/passengers are affected seriously if there were any accident or failure for passenger door to completely stop working. They will not be able to exit unless crawling to very front of vehicle. Driver sliding door does not open or close at all. Passenger sliding door works 60% of time. I have not taken to a dealer as I cannot afford the cost. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. No warning signs to let me know the doors would not or will not work. Someone with the same make/mode/year of dodge grand caravan said there was a recall for the sliding door actuators on this year of van and they got theirs fixed because of the recall. This causes a very big concern for me and my van. I need them fixed please. Thank You

Door buzzing noise when unlocking...sliding door will not unlock from inside the vehicle. Safety hazard for the passengers.

My wife was stopped at a drive through window in DRIVE when the engine stalled. It wouldn’t crank over and needed to be pushed out of the way and towed. The TIPM failed and needed to be replaced. The repair was done at a Chrysler dealer and they took the faulty part after repair. Safety was at risk because if this had happened in the middle of the road it could have caused an accident. My wife was lucky it happened at the drive through. Vehicle not inspected by police or insurance. No warning lights or other symptoms, just engine stalled

Right side passenger sliding door makes a loud buzzing noise when it locks.

Both back doors have failed lock actuators. I’ve gotten a repair quote of over $1400 per door to get fixed. Both doors buzz and one has actually locked shut. Extremely inconvenient with children.

I bought a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan in December 2019. I just recently learned of a recall for the sliding door actuators. The driver side sliding door stopped working about 3 months after I purchased said vehicle and has never worked since. The passenger sliding door has been having problems since early 2020, about 1 year after purchasing said vehicle. Just recently it (passenger door) has not been closing nor sometimes not opening. I find this as a hazard when I am carrying family/friends, or even myself. If the vehicle were to have a fire, collision, it would be very hard for someone to enter/exit the vehicle. I am asking to have my vehicle repaired as such "recall" was made on my 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan, and I was not notified by the auto dealer, in person, nor by mail.

Looks like there's a design or defective part on the driver side (Left) window. It is unable to open. This is the second time that the window unable to open, the first time happened in around late 2019 early 2020. It was the window power switch issue and I had it replaced. Recently the window stopped working again. This can be a potential safety issue if the car is drove into a river or in a high water area and the window cannot be opened for driver to escape.

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR STUCK LOCKED. NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. PASSENGER IS NOT ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR IN EMERGENCY SITUATION

The rear passenger sliding door is making a buzzing noise when unlocking. I have had it lock up a few times where I can't open the door and this is a big safety hazard. I have kids and if something was to happen and I couldn't open the door. I see there is an extended warranty for this problem. I called the dealership and they looked up my vin # and said I was not covered. The door lock actuator needs to be replaced.

Doors buzzing when you turn off car n open door.

Every time I lock right rear slider with power lock loud buzz is heard.

The actuator on the left passenger side sliding door is buzzing every time the doors are opened.

the door locks on the driver side rear sliding door became inoperable the door was unable to be opened at all, trapping passengers in an accident or an emergency

The side door actuator is malfunctioning. There is a loud buzzing noise that comes from the drivers side, side sliding door when locking and unlocking the van. Sometimes the door will not open at all and just keeps buzzing, I have also had issues unlocking the door as a result of the malfunctioning actuator. This is a HUGE safety concern as the door may or may not open and if it does this during an accident or other kind of emergency, the results could be catastrophic.

Loud buzzing noise when locking door. Seat position control buttons and mirror positioning control buttons stopped working. Had fixed and within a month, they stopped working again. The buzzing issue has been going on for years now. The issues with the seat/mirror controls started about three months ago.

The sliding doors does not unlock on its own. Needs to be manually unlocked and makes a buzzing sound when pushing the lock button.

My left sliding door has now locked shut after making noises that the other side had before it got fixed a year ago. And I can not open it at all.

my passenger side, sliding door lock is making a loud buzzing noise when unlocking.

The sliding door on the passenger side buzzes when the electronic locks are locked or unlocked. This is a shock to the driver as the locks engage while driving away from parked.

Unknown- was not in a accident but sliding door just all of a sudden will not open unlatch or anything it’s stuck shut will not even make an unlocking noise when attempting to open

Actuator in left sliding door went out so now the door will not close or latch unless it’s unplugged… however still will not lock. Now the right side is doing the same.

The rear driver's side sliding door lock has started buzzing loudly when I lock the vehicle. At times the door will not open and my kids and other passengers have to exit through the other sliding door. Upon further research it sounds like this is a somewhat common situation with 2016 Grand Caravans. I am concerned for the safety of myself and passengers if we're unable to exit the vehicle quickly in case of the accident. I have had the vehicle diagnosed with faulty door-lock actuator from a mechanic, but have not brought it in for repairs. There were no warning lamps or lights or alarms. The week prior to the buzzing sound I did notice a strange "clicking" noise coming from the driver's side sliding door.

When the auto lock or manual lock engages, a very loud buzzing noise happens. It is very distracting as it happens when you are driving.

The power sliding rear door on the driver side is stuck in a locked position for 4-5 days now. This has happened previously to our power sliding rear door on the passenger side as well (before the current extended warranty) and we corrected that issue on our own by replacing the door actuator. Now that it has happened again and there is a warranty on it, I took it to the dealership and they are telling me it is not the actuator that is broken but the door rod and latch and quoted $1600 to fix the problem. I personally think this is a deceptive practice to get out of replacing the actuator under the warranty, but I am not a mechanic. It sure is suspicious though seeing as the rod and latch are linked to the actuator. This is very dangerous and could cost lives if the vehicle was full of passengers who needed to exit quickly and the door was jammed shut. The fact that it is so closely related to the actuator that already has an extended warranty is a cause for concern.

Passenger side sliding door, erratic actuator which eventually fails and door will not open.

Passenger sliding doors will not open. In december 2021 Dodge dealership seemingly fixed issue. It is now 2023 and the doors will not open again. This is very dangerous as I have two small children. The costs for these repairs were very expensive and unfortunately hasn't even lasted 2 years. I now have to pay out of pocket thousands for an issue that is completely mechanical and dealer issue.

Passenger sliding door fails to unlock and/or buzzes when locked.

Rear door actuator failures, 2nd time this has happened. Currently the driver side rear passenger door will not open or unlock, manually or with key fob. It will not open in any manner. The passenger side will only open or lock manually. Passengers cannot exit vehicle causing safety risk.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while driving at an undetermined speed, the vehicle was being hacked and she was being contacted with negative instructions. The contact stated that it was difficult to drive while the hacker was controlling the vehicle. The vehicle was being taken over. The contact stated that she believed that the vehicle was taken over through wave frequency. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 105,205.

Mileage: 105,205

Sliding electric door on driver side will not open. It is locked into the closed position and I can't open it manually. Will not open no matter what I try

Driver side power sliding door lock stuck in the locked position. The door CANNOT be unlocked regardless of the method used; Key FOB, driver side door electric unlock switch, power sliding door switch in the roof of the front seats or the manual lock on the door itself. The safety concern is that in an emergency situation the driver side sliding door CANNOT be opened, manually or other which means occupants could be trapped. This problem was confirmed by the dealer and deemed NOT to be due to the "actuator", for which an extended warranty was issued by FCA for. The dealer stated that the "drivers door needs new latch" mechanism is at fault and needs to be replaced. Specific FCA MOPAR part number is 68030379AG for the faulty component. Prior to the failure no noises or other improper operation occurred. The door lock "latch" just failed. Confirmed with FCA Recall Customer support, not the dealer, that the "latch" is NOT covered in the extended warranty letter attached, even though the symptom we are experiencing is the same.

Passenger side sliding doors want open

driver passenger rear door will not open automatically or manually. huge safety issue. it makes a buzzing sound on the passenger side back door when unlocked

The vehicle will randomly die and most of the time, it will start back up. It will die when it is stopped and idling, and it has died when I am driving it at all speeds. It dies on the interstate driving 75 mph, on the highway going 55 mph, on a street going 35 mph, and in a subdivision going 15 mph. It has been taken to a certified mechanic who could reproduce the problem but could not diagnose the cause. I took it to the dealership where they said they were not able to reproduce the issue or find any diagnostic error codes. Yet, the dealership was able to find a software upgrade and a "leaky pan" from the transmission that cost me over $550. When I left the dealership, the vehicle died about 2 miles in the middle of a large and very busy street. I tried to restart the vehicle, but it wouldn't start the first 11 tries. After a few minutes, on the 12th try, it did start up and I was able to drive it home. The next morning the vehicle started 4 times but died all 4 times. The first 2 times it died both times after idling for 2 minutes. The 3rd and 4th time it started up and then died within 10 seconds. I had the vehicle towed back to the dealership. The dealership still has it and cannot find out for sure what the actual issue is. They want to try a $3,000 repair, but they are not sure it will actually fix the issue. After searching the web it is not hard to find that so many people have had this same issue. What I would like to know is why so many of these vehicles are allowed on the road without there being a recall to fix this issue? Vehicles on the road that can easily die with no warning, that is terrifying. Especially a family vehicle. So many families with children of all ages put in danger by defective parts that cause a vehicle to die with no warning and then no error codes when the vehicle is diagnosed, even at a dealership. I could think of nothing more dangerous for a vehicle or a family traveling in this vehicle than this.

When your turn the vehicle off and open the door a buzzing sound comes from the right rear of the vehicle.

There is a very loud buzzing noise that is detracting to when I drive. It is coming from the rear door. The first time I heard it I was able to stop it by opening the rear door but now it has started back up and won’t stop. It has been 2 weeks now. Again it is extremely distracting while I drive.

Left side door will not open. Electric door. I have a handicap grandchild and small grandchildren that I will not be able to get to fast enough in case of a fire. And if other door goes out, how will I be able to get them out. ITS A FIRE HAZZARD.

The sliding doors are not opening. Either by pushing the buttons or trying to hand pull it open. It is completely stuck. To get my kids out of the car, I had to roll windows down and reach in, because they are in car seats.

Drivers side door is stuck in the locked position and will not unlock or open no matter what is done.

An electrical failure creates a buzzing sound when unlocking the car doors this has also led to failure of the back sliding door behind the driver seat to open.

Driver side passenger sliding door is stuck in locked position and will not open manually or electronically. This poses severe safety risk in the event that passenger needs to exit vehicle quickly.

When van is unlocked door actuator buzzes and doesn’t always unlock

The passenger sliding door actuator is faulty and the door often gets stuck or is unable to lock/unlock.

Back passenger sliding door. Door makes a buzzing noise when the car is locked or unlocked. Actuator is going out or faulty

Passenger side rear siding door will no longer open manually, using the button on fob or using the open door button at the top near the overhead console. This poses a safety issue not allowing passengers to exit the vehicle as the door will not even open manually. Appears to be in lock position and will not move.

The rear driver's side door is stuck closed in the lock position. We can't open it at all, even from the outside. This is a major safety issue. Our other door has a very loud buzzing sound when unlocking, so I'm sure we're about to not have any working rear doors at all.

The driver side sliding door is stuck in the locked position and the passenger side sliding door is stuck in the unlocked position. The driver side door cannot be opened at all.

The passenger side door lock actuator has failed to work with any button from either the remote or the car controls. I am still able to lock it manually, but it is a major safety issue and a costly repair. The driver side lock works fine, but passenger was intermittently working, yet has failed recently.

dodge grand caravan 2016 right push door lock gets stuck . Don't lock. Left push door don't unlock.

Actuator of passenger side sliding back door was built wrong and makes a loud buzzing noise every time doors are unlocked.

My passenger sliding door will not unlock. I have tried to move the lock but it will not move. I have tried using the keys it will not unlock. I know this is a problem for other 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan owners too. I only have 61,000 miles on my van. It is a safety issue that I would expect the manufacturer to resolve. I hope you will require the manufacturer to fix this problem. As others mentioned this is not just happening on one side of the car but eventually happens on both sides.

Passenger side sliding door lock, no longer locks/unlocks via lock buttons unless lock on door is manually locked/unlocked by hand. Driver side sliding door makes a grinding sound when using lock buttons to lock door. No sound when unlocking this door.

A month, or so ago our passenger slide sliding door started making a loud buzzing sound when we unlocked the doors. That is annoying, but to me is not a safety issue, so wasn't too concerned about it. What is going on with our driver side sliding door now I do believe is a safety issue and needs to be part of a recall. The driver side sliding door was refusing to unlock, or open sometimes but now it is all the time. We are unable to manually unlock it to use the door. It is stuck in the lock position and totally unusable now as we are unable to manually unlock it by hand and unable to unlock it using the door locks, or the the remote. The lights flash when i click the button on the remote to open that door, but it doesn't respond and unlock it. What is gonna happen when the other door decides to do the same thing and no one can get out of the van in the case of an emergency. This needs to be a recall and be fixed for all the families that drive and love your vans. We've never had an issue like this with our previous years of Dodge vans. I got the warranty thing in the mail for this to be fixed with 150,000 miles, or less. At the time I got the letter ours was only doing the buzzing sound on the one door, but it already had 160,000 miles on it, so it was past the warranty time to get fixed.

Power locks actuators in sliding doors are failing, produce loud buzzing noise. Failure of locks could present risk of trapped passengers.

Sliding door actuator will not lock

The right (passenger side) sliding door is locked closed and will not open from the inside or outside. Rear-seat passengers are being forced to exit through the windows, rear hatch, front doors, or the other sliding door. This is not only an unnecessary inconvenience but also potentially very dangerous if there's an accident when occupants need to exit the vehicle quickly. I will take the vehicle to the dealer for inspection. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptom prior to the failure. The problem first appeared two days ago, the van has less that 100,000 miles.

Sliding passenger door actuator makes a loud buzzing noise when unlocking, and also will fail to unlock. In the event of an emergency, passengers will be unable to unlock the door and exit from the vehicle. No warning lamps have activated, notifying of a problem. There are no recalls on file.

Sliding door buzzes when locking from front driver and passenger side automatic locks. Not sure if it closes as we have child safety locked so not able to open from inside.

According to research there is known problem with the slidding Van Doors for the 2016 Dodge Caravan. Both of my van doors have went out and is stuck in lock mode, to where it will not unlock or open. This is a safety issue especially when you have children that cannot unrestrain themselves from a seatbelt or car seat.

Loud buzzing sound when unlocking doors coming from sliding passenger side sliding door. At times cannot get door to operate. Safety issue!! I have reported this earlier and want to know when recall will occur. Dealer approx cost $1000 per door. Crazy, that people may get trapped inside car, and there is nothing Dodge is doing about it. Like I said, I have reported this before, so the date shown on this complaint may not match original NHTSA submission.

The driver's side sliding door no longer opens automatically or manually. The button fob or the interior will not open the door.

Buzzing from driver’s side sliding rear door when power lock button is pressed to lock the doors or when car begins driving (when door locks are activated automatically). Many people have reported this same issue on forums about the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. Dealerships have told them it is a faulty door lock actuator.

The right sliding door makes a very loud buzzing noise when it is unlocked. It does still work but when I have mentioned it to mechanics they have said they see this a lot with my vehicle and is likely a faulty door lock actuator.

Fold sliding doors have alternated either being locked and unable to be opened or unlocked and will not lock. This does not matter if the car is moving or not. I'm concerned when they both decide not to open and the safety hazard it's will pose if we get in an accident and can't get out of the vehicle. Also we are unable to secure the vehicle when we go anywhere leaving us vulnerable to thieves. Seems to be a very common problem in these vehicles for many many people.

Side slider door lock actuator on passenger side makes lots of noise and the lock actuator on left side without notice has stopped working also at same time. This lock mechanism issue prevents the slider door locks or handles from working inside and outside the vehicle. Remote does not work for these doors either, but still work for front doors and hatch.

Vehicle's rear sliding doors intermittently jam locked, one, or the other, or both. The respective sliding locks will not budge, not by remote, not from the button on the driver's door, and especially, not even manually, from the sliding lock on the doors themselves. Sometimes a buzzing sound is heard from one or the other of the the locks when commanding to lock electrically, including when the car starts moving at over 20 mph or so, and all doors lock automatically. I understand that electrical commands ("power" this and that) may stop working at some time in the life of a car, but at least they can be so engineered that in case of the door locks not to jam the lock in the locked position! I understand there are a few hundred complaints about these locks, all jamming, all in the locked position, on all vans w/sliding doors built by Chrysler. What would it take for the Chrysler-Fiat, or whatever they're called now, to fix the problem and issue a recall?? A fire? Injuries? Worse, God forbid? Can you imagine when the injured party lawyers find out there have been hundreds of similar complaints and no recall? ..

Passenger power sliding door made buzzing sound when unlocking and the next day was stuck in the lock position. The door cannot be opened from the inside or outside.

Driver side middle sliding door will not open

The lock actuator in both rear sliding doors has failed. The first to fail was the rear passenger door. While the door and lock still operate, it makes a loud buzzing noise whenever it is activated (as described in the 2016 TSB issued by the manufacturer.) My mechanic inspected and confirmed this problem in September 2021. Just the other day (10/20/21), the actuator on the rear driver door also failed without any warning (it had never made noise): the lock “seized” and we were unable to unlock and open the door through any means. This exact pattern of failure has been reported by many other owners of this vehicle. Malfunctioning locks present an obvious safety problem, especially in the case of the locked door which would make it difficult for my children to escape the car quickly in an emergency. Neither actuator has been replaced yet and thus they are available for inspection if necessary.

I have a 2016 dodge grand caravan and every time I unlock the door or lock it it makes this loud buzzing noise, the door works fine it opens and close. But when using the unlock button from the key everyone can hear the load buzzing noise. I think it is the door actuator.

When the doors are unlocked, a loud buzzing noise comes from the vehicle. Upon research it seems like it is a faulty door actuator. This could cause the doors to be unable to open or close. It has not been repaired and it is available for inspection upon request.

I have a faulty door lock actuator on the back left sliding door. It is making a buzzing sound. Not sure if it is actually locking or not.

The driver side sliding door makes a loud buzzing sound whenever the doors lock. I have read up on this and it is a faulty door lock actuator. This sound is sudden and loud and has on multiple times caused the driver to get startled. This sound happens when the van auto-locks at the door locks specific set speed.

Passenger sliding door lock and latch failed. The repair cost $1,206.47 at the dealer. The dealer will only guarantee the new lock for two years!

2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. The passenger side sliding door makes a groaning or buzzing when unlocking. Cannot manually move passenger side lock switch mechanism either. Both sliding doors have become stuck in the closed position in the past several times over the past several years, making it hard to get people out of car. Seems like a safety type issue. The repair for this (approx $1000 per door) seems to be very expensive for something that should not fail. Problem of doors getting stuck in locked position at times has been intermittent meaning lock/ unlock may work again . Not sure if this is due to unhooking battery and resetting or just because car was turned off and on.

The locking mechanism on the passenger rear sliding door makes a loud buzzing noise when unlocking. It is so loud that it can be heard up to 15 feet from the vehicle. Sometimes it will either stay in the locked position or it will remain unlocked regardless of the buttons being pushed. In the event of an accident and the door is stuck in the locked position it will put my children in danger of not being able to get out of the vehicle through that door. I have not taken it to be inspected nor has the manufacturer inspected it. There were no warning lights or indicators prior to or after the problem started. It is available for inspection upon request.

Lock actuators on both sliding doors are making a loud "buzzing" or "clicking" sound when the doors are locked and unlocked.

Passenger and drivers side rear sliding door locks making grinding noise, both during lock and unlock movements.

There is a loud buzzing noise coming from the rear driver's side door when it locks. I have researched this and see that this is a common problem with this model.

Both sliding doors are not locking or unlocking. Problem started a year ago with the passenger side sliding door not locking. 3 weeks ago, the driver side sliding door will not unlock. As we have 3 children who travel in this van regularly, having a door that cannot open is a huge concern for safety in case of an emergency. Searching online for a solution has brought to light that this is a wide known issue with this model. Why has there not been a recall yet?

Driver side window motor and hardware have been replaced twice in the past 2 years and keeps falling into the door panel. The window falls without being used, just a loud dang and the window falls. There have been no accidents that side of the vehicle and it was parked when it happened

The doors keep buzzing on door lock and unlock, the sound scares ppl and also not sure if the lock function is functioning correctly after the buzzing sound

Passenger side sliding door failed. Not able to open door manually, using key fob, or using inside door button. Driver side sliding door is operational and can be opened using all of the aforementioned methods. Component is available to be inspected. The safety of the driver and passengers are put at risk due to the inability to open the door from the inside. If any situation was to compromise the drivers side then the passenger door would lock in the passengers. The component within the door has not been inspected. The warning before the failure was a loud noise every time the door was unlocked or locked. All methods of locking the door would produce this noise.

Both of our sliding Door locks were unusable after they locked themselves and we could not open them manually or electronically . We had to replace one of the driver passengers door mechanisms, on June 5th, 2021 and the other passengers slide door will not lock at all. This has caused the window mechanism to malfunction repeatedly on the driver passenger sliding door. We saw your warning and update on this issue 7/14/2021.

I already filed a complaint no: 11351148 about the side power door on the left side being stuck in the locked position with no way to open it. I have now discovered the the power door on the right side isn't locking. I have to manually lock the door with the toggle switch because the electrical locking feature isn't working. This is dangerous because we had assumed that the door was locked when we pushed the electrical lock button in the van or on the fob. This is dangerous for the security of people and items in the vehicle. I believe that this malfunction may be related the the problem with the door being locked shut on the other side of the Caravan with no way to get it opened.

Every time a door is unlocked and sometime locked a loud buzzing happens. It concerns me that the doors will malfunction and not act as they are supposed to which is a big concern with children in the vehicle.

Our van makes a loud buzzing sound each time we open our doors or unlock them.

Driver rear sliding door stuck in lock position causing a major safety hazard for rear passengers in van. Door will not unlock or open using all unlocking options. Called repair shop and they said this is a common problem with Dodge Caravans. Taking it in for repair soon. I will be getting rid of this vehicle because of this issue in the near future.

The door lock on the sliding door on the driver's side is stuck in the lock position. The door will not open and no amount of force will unlock it. A simple search online shows many customers dealing with the same issue. Clearly this is a safety concern. My dealership has diagnosed and the cost is over $1000.

Its a known common problem for the automatic doors to stop working. My driver side back door has stopped working and now is stuck shut where I cannot open. This is a huge safety issue since all exits fo not work and if I was in an accident and needed to get my kids out and that was th only door I was able to use then we would end up dead or in serious condition. This is a very expensive fix and from all the reviews I have read this is a very common problem!!!!

Rear sliding door locks. The locks on the vehicle have malfunctioned and makes it unsafe for passengers in the rear of the vehicle to exit in an emergency. The driver side door is stuck in the lock position and the door cannot be opened in any way rendering it useless. The actuator on the passenger side has mail functioned as well and cannot be locked/unlocked with the buttons in the vehicle or the fob. This seems to be very common in these vehicles and dodge needs to fix this issue. It is very unsafe as most minivans are purchased for families with children. Heaven forbid the vehicle is involved in a bad accident and the children cannot be removed because the doors are stuck in the locked position

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND WHEN I UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR USING THE UNLOCK BUTTON FROM THE REMOTE IT MAKES A LOUD BUZZING NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE A GEAR IS GRINDING IN THE UNLOCK MECHANISM.

Mileage: 71,000

MY 2016 DGC STARTED BUZZING WHEN EVER YOU LOCK AND UNLOCK DOOR. IT STARTED A MONTH AGO AND NOW IT DRAINED MY BATTERY. MECHANIC THINKS IT'S RELATED TO THE DOOR. THE COST TO GET IT FIXED IS OVER $500, I'M A DISABLED VET I CAN'T AFFORD THAT, AS WELL AS THERE HUNDRED OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2016

Mileage: 50,000

REAR SLIDING DOOR SUDDENLY BECAME STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR IN ANY WAY. THIS IS CAUSING MY CHILDREN TO HAVE TO EXIT THE VAN ON THE TRAFFIC SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS WOULD ALSO LEAVE MY CHILD TRAPPED IN THE CAR SHOULD AN EMERGENCY ARISE OR AN ACCIDENT OCCUR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VAN.

Mileage: 32,000

SHORTLY AFTER WE BOUGHT OUR VEHICLE, WHEN WE WOULD UNLOCK THE DOORS, THE VAN MADE A LOUD BUZZING SOUND. WE HAD IT CHECKED WITH ANOTHER WARRANTY ISSUE AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. THEN, IN DECEMBER, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR STOPPED WORKING AND IT WAS LOCKED. IT COULDN'T BE UNLOCKED OR OPENED BY ANY METHOD. LAST WEEK, I SCHEDULED IT TO BE FIXED AT THE DEALER. THEN THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR ALSO LOCKED SHUT AND IT'S UNABLE TO BE OPENED. DEALER SAID IT IS THE DOOR ACTUATORS (COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). HOWEVER, SINCE THE ACTUATORS WENT BAD, THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED. THE DOORS MUST BE OPENED TO TAKE FOR PANELS OFF TO ACCESS/REPLACE ACTUATORS. THEREFORE, THEY HAVE TO BREAK DOOR PANELS TO ACCESS (NOT COVERED WARRANTY PART). QUICK RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS ACTUATORS GOING BAD IS VERY COMMON ON MULTIPLE YEARS OF DODGE CARAVANS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT RENDERS THE PASSENGERS TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD BE A PROBLEM IN AN EMERGENCY. I FEEL REPLACING THE ACTUATORS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND SHOULD BE DONE ON ALL CARAVANS THAT HAVE THE PARTY THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE AN ISSUE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE WARRANTY WORK AFTER THERE IS AN ISSUE ON THAT SPECIFIC VEHICLE.

Mileage: 75,000

THE DRIVER SIDE, REAR SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WHEELCHAIR VAN WITH 38,806 MILES IS LOCKED SHUT. THIS HAPPENED ON APRIL 10, 2021. CANNOT ACCESS THE PERSON IN THE WHEELCHAIR IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN CASE OF A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS DEFECT APPEARS TO AFFLICT THIS DODGE VAN. THE DEFECT PART IS AN ELECTRICAL ACTUATOR THAT LOCKS/UNLOCKS THE SLIDING DOORS.

Mileage: 38,750

BACK PASSENGER SEAT SLIDING DOOR LOCK BUZZES WHEN UNLOCKED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS WITH THE KEY FOB, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THE ASSUMPTION BEING MADE IS THAT THIS IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 35,644 MILES, THUS THIS ISSUE SHOULD BOT BE OCCURRING. NOTHING HAS BEEN NOTED VISUALLY THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS NOISE WHEN UNLOCKING VEHICLE DOORS. CURRENTLY THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED AND CLOSED. THIS DOOR LOCK PROBLEM MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN IN ITSELF, OR IF THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, THEN THERE IS A LARGER CONCERN. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE BASED ON RESEARCH COMPLETED PRIOR TO FILING THIS CONCERN. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THE 2016 MODEL. THANK YOU.

I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN I HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE LIFTER FOR PENTASTAR TICK. BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS DON'T ALWAYS OPEN MANUALLY OR WITH REMOTE AND NEITHER ONE LOCKS ANYMORE. JUST HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT, WAS DRIVING VAN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, LUCKILY GOT OFF OF THE MAIN ROAD THEN HAD TO BE TOWED TO GARAGE. THIS VAN HAS COST ME SO MUCH MONEY OUT OF POCKET.

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR MAKING LOUD BUZZING SOUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS FIANC WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED BUT RESTARTED. THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED NORTHSIDE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, LLC (812 NORTHSIDE DR, SUMMERSVILLE, WV 26651, (304)712-2063) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

Mileage: 105,000

MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS 67,842 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. LOUD BUZZING SOUND EVERY TIME I PARK 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND PRESS UNLOCK TO UNLOCK DOORS. I WAS TOLD IT IS THE ACTUATOR. I WAS TOLD ACTUATOR IS $500 TO $600 TO FIX. I WAS TOLD THIS IS COMMON IN 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVANS WITH 60,000 MILES. NHTSA SHOULD CLASSIFY THIS COMMON ACTUATOR COMPLAINT ON 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVANS WITH 60,000 MILES AS A RECALL.

Mileage: 67,842

MILEAGE NOW 41,000 MILES. VEHICLE PARKED. DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR LATCH IS STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION. THE REAR DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED BY THE REMOTE, INSIDE DOOR BUTTONS OR MANUALLY. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH INVOLVING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR,OCCUPANTS ARE STUCK IN THE REAR. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE OF THE SAME LATCH. IT WAS REPLACED ORIGINALLY IN NOV 2017 UNDER WARRANTY AT 25,500 MILES. LOOKING AT OTHER INTERNET COMMENTARY, THIS IS A KNOWN PART FAILURE AND DEFECT WITH POTENTIAL TO CAUSE PASSENGER HARM. I FEEL CHRYSLER / DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS OR AS A MINIMUM REPLACED FAILED LOCK ACTUATORS UNDER A SPECIAL WARRANTY.

FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON BOTH POWER SLIDING DOORS AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO PROVOKE THE ISSUE JUST WENT OUT ON A VAN THAT'S 4 YEARS OLD ABSOLUTELY INSANE

MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT CAR GOES INTO 5 RPM WHEN ONLY GOING 30-40 MPH BACK SEATS DON'T UNLOCK TO FOLD AWAY BACK SLIDING DOORS DON'T LOCK EVEN AFTER ALARM IS ACTIVATED AND HAVE HAD A BRAKE IN

THE LEFT PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR PASSENGERS IN MIDDLE AND REAR SEATS. IT WAS REPAIRED ONCE BY A SHOP. RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS MAKING A BUZZING NOISE, SIGNALING THAT IT MAY GO NEXT.

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR LOCKS ARE FAILING. MAKE VERY LOUD BUZZING NOISE WHEN ACTIVATED. SOUNDS LIKE A WRONG ANSWER BUZZER... AND IT IS LOUD ENOUGH TO STARTLE PASSENGERS. ONE SIDE SEEMS TO NOT UNLOCK ON FIRST TRY. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME LOCKS ARE ACTIVATED TO LOCK OR UNLOCK, BOTH WHILE MOVING AND WHILE STATIONARY.

Mileage: 80,000

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR HAS FAULTED RESULTING LOUD BUZZ SOUND DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR IN ACTUATOR TO NOT PROPERLY MOVE. FEARFUL OF A ELECTRICAL SHORT OCCURRING ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS WHERE MY 4YR OLD DAUGHTER HAS TO SIT. ALSO IF THE LOCK POSSIBLY GOES COMPLETELY OUT I'M FEARFUL OF 2 THINGS 1. AS MY DAUGHTER SIT BY THAT DOOR IT AT ANY MOMENT BECOMES NOT LOCKED ALLOWING HER TO OPEN WHILE VEHICLE IN OPERATION 2. VEHICLE NO LONGER LOCKED WHILE VEHICLE UNATTENDED ALLOWING ANYONE ACESS IT'S BEEN BUYING FOR AWHILE NOW HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION ON THIS YET. THANK YOU

Mileage: 56,000

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. IT DOES NOT UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOB, OR BY MANUALLY TRYING TO UNLOCK THE MECHANISM. THEREFORE, MY CHILDREN CANNOT EXIT THE CAR FROM THE DRIVERS' SIDE. THIS FIRST HAPPENED AFTER TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR USING THE KEY FOB, WHILE PARKED, AND TRYING TO RE-ENTER THE CAR. THIS ISSUE PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED WITH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND MUST BE RECALLED.

Mileage: 67,415

WHILE DRIVING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE INCLUDING ALL FUNCTIONAL SYSTEMS SIMPLY SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. ALL SYSTEMS ARE LOST. BRAKES, STEERING, ENGINE, ETC. THERE IS NO ADVANCED WARING OR INDICATIONS. THERE ARE NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO FIX THIS MALFUNCTION WITH NO SUCCESS/PROGRESS. THIS IS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE BECAUSE ALL VEHICLE CONTROLS ARE LOST. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. ONCE IN THE CITY AND THE OTHER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 70,000

A LOUD BUZZ SOUND HAPPENS WHEN I LOCK MY VEHICLE OR WHEN MY DOOR AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. WHEN IT LOCKS IT MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE

OUR 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, THE DASH INDICATORS LIGHT UP BRIEFLY AND THE ENGINE LOSES ALL POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS VEHICLE. WE ARE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON AND THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES WHEN WE RESTART. MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ STATE THAT THE MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE AND CAN'T IMMEDIATELY RECREATE THE ISSUE. WE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. YET IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. OVER AND OVER. MY VEHICLE IS IN THE 5TH GENERATION OF THIS MODEL (2008 - 2020). ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA, WELL OVER 1 MILLION HAVE BEEN SOLD IN THE US ALONE. IF HUNDREDS (MAYBE THOUSANDS) OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE SAME EXACT VEHICLE, THEN YOU KNOW THERE ARE MULTIPLES MORE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE, NOT JUST FOR THE VEHICLE THAT LOSES POWER, BUT FOR ALL VEHICLES AROUND IT. I AM DATING THIS AS OF 12/19/2020 BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN LAST NIGHT, BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT IT HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD PROMPT A RECALL SO THAT NOBODY IS KILLED.

REAR LIFT WON'T OPEN SOMETIMES AND NOT MANUALLY EITHER. PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR MAKES A BUZZING SOUND WHEN UNLOCKED

Mileage: 67,000

BOTH POWER SLIDING DOORS HAVE A VERY LOUD & ANNOYING BUZZ WHEN OPENING USING THE KEY FOB AS WELL AS WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES A CERTAIN SPEED WHERE THE DOOR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK.THE DIAGNOSIS IS DEFECTIVE POWER LOCK ACTUATORS. THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND IF NOT REPAIRED, WILL CAUSE THE POWER DOORS TO FREEZE IN A LOCKED POSITION CREATING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. A RECALL IS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY AS MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE DODGE GRAND CARAVANS IN THE 2015 THROUGH 2017 WILL EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE.

PASSANGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR STARTED MAKEING A BUZZING NOISE WHEN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB AND FOUND OUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE ACCUATOR TO STICK OR MALFUNCTION, AND NOW THE BUZZING STOPED AND THE LOCK IS STUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION AND WILL NOT MOVE.I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH 3 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND GOD FORBID AND ACCIDENT OCCURS I WANT TO GET MY KIDS OUT QUICKLY AND SAFELY.......SO SAY I GET T BONED ON DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER DOOR WON'T UNLOCK OR OPEN.....

Mileage: 98,770

OUR SLIDING DOOR HAS SEIZED UP IN THE LOCK POSITION. WE ARE UNABLE TO OPEN IT AT ALL. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS ON ONE SIDE BUT NOW THE OTHER SIDE IS SOUNDING LIKE IT MAY GO AS WELL. HAVING DOORS WE CAN NOT OPEN IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE WE ARE COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH OUR CHILDREN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS A 2016 DODGE CARAVAN AND JUST BROKE 60K MILES. AVERAGE FIX IS OVER $1100 AND THE MECHANICS ARE ALL TO FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE.

Mileage: 60,200

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR MAKES A LOUD OBNOXIOUS BUZZING SOUND WHEN IT IS UNLOCKED. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE ACTUATOR UNLOCKS THE DOOR. WE ARE CONCERNED AS IT IS A SIGN OF A FAULTY PART THAT COULD AT SOME POINT FAIL COMPLETELY CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. MANY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THIS EXACT SAME PHENOMENON. APPARENTLY A GEAR WITH PLASTIC TEETH IS WEARING DOWN AND A WORM GEAR IS GRINDING ON THE TEETH. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE TOTAL FAILURE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM.

Mileage: 45,000

BOTH SLIDING DOORS ON MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING WITH NO WARNING GIVING. I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS AN SEEN THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO DODGE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. UNABLE TO OPEN THE SLIDING DOORS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND PUTS PEOPLE LIVES IN DANGER ON A DAILY BASIS DUE TO NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. I AM REACHING OUT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSE THEIR LIFE TO THIS OR EITHER SOMEONE KIDS. IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY WITH AN FIRE, OR AND ACCIDENT AND PEOPLE NEED TO VACATE IMMEDIATELY THERE WILL BE LIVES LOST.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK IS FROZEN IN THE LOCKED POSITION. CAN'T UNLOCK OR OPEN DOOR. THIS IS A FIRE/SAFETY HAZARD.

MY 2016 DODGE CARAVAN RECENTLY STARTED A LOUD BUZZING NOISE AFTER THE DOOR LOCKS OR UNLOCKS. THIS BUZZING HAPPENS WHEN I UNLOCK/LOCK OR OPEN THE DOORS.

Mileage: 68,000

IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS THE BOTH SLIDING DOORS OF THE VAN HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY. TODAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 BOTH DOORS DO NOT OPEN AND STAY IN THE LOCK POSITION. IT IS ONLY ABLE TO OPEN BY PULLING THE LOCK TOWARDS UNLOCK POSITION AND THEN PULL THE HANDLE. THE KEY FOB AND THE OPEN DOOR BUTTONS IN THE CAR DO NOT WORK AND THERE IS A SLIGHT CLICK SOUND SOMETIMES BUT THE DOOR STAYS LOCKED. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS IF WE WERE TO CRASH OUR CHILDREN AND OR PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR!!!!! SEEMS LIKE IT IS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW DODGE OWNERS.

Mileage: 100,000

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON THE RIGHT REAR SLIDING DOOR HAS STOPPED WORKING. MY DOOR IS STUCK ON UNLOCK, AND IS UNABLE TO BE LOCKED, MANUALLY OR OTHERWISE. MY DOOR ALSO MAKES A LOUD BUZZING NOISE EVERY TIME I PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON.

Mileage: 80,000

I HAD TO GO TO TOWN AT NIGHT TO GET GROCERIES FOR DINNER I PUT MY CHILD IN THE BACKSEAT. WE GOT TO THE GROCERY STORE I PARKED RIGHT AT THE STORE DOORS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE WERE WALKING AROUND IN THE PARKING LOT, I GOT OUT OF MY VAN AND WENT TO GET MY CHILD OUT AND THE DOOR WAS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THE PEOPLE NOTICED ME STRUGGLING TO GET THE DOOR OPEN AND CAME TOWARDS US AND I JUST GOT BACK IN THE VAN AND LEFT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT DODGE SHOULD FIX! I PRAY NO ONE DIES DUE TO BEING LOCKED IN DURING AN EMERGENCY.

Mileage: 160,000

WHEN THE DOORS ARE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED THEY MAKE A BUZZING NOISE.

DRIVER SIDE SLIDER DOOR IS LOCKED SHUT AND I CANNOT OPEN IT. I BELIEVE THE ACTUATOR HAS GONE BAD. DODGE NEEDS TO STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR ON THIS. THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ITEM. THE REPAIR COST IS WAY TOO MUCH CONSIDERING ALL THE COMPLAINTS. STAND UP AND TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR YOUR PRODUCTS. THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO EARN LOYALTY FROM BUYERS.

THE CONTACT STATED SERVICE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THE FUSE BOX WAS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED LOCAL DEALER LIVONIA CHRYSLER JEEP LOCATED AT 30777 PLYMOUTH RD, LIVONIA, MI 48150, (734) 525-5000 AND WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

MY PASSENGERS REAR DOOR WAS NOT LOCKING WHETHER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, RUNNING, AND DRIVING. IF SOMEONE WAS TO ATTACK ME, OR MY FAMILY, I WOULD HAVE INSTINCTIVELY LOCKED THE DOOR. IT WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ANY EFFECT ON KEEPING PEOPLE OUT. IN MY RESEARCHING OF HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED THAT THE MORE COMMON PROBLEM IS THAT THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK CREATING A GREATER HAZARD FOR EMERGENCY EGRESS. THE PART IS RELATIVELY CHEAP, BUT IT IS A REAL BEAR TO REPLACE. PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ARE MUCH EASIER TO REPAIR. (I.E., 2000-2008+?) AND CHEAPER TO REPAIR. HOWEVER, ON THE 2016 VERSION (2010-2020) ONE HAS TO DISASSEMBLE THE WHOLE INNER DOOR COSTING $600+ FOR A SIMPLE REPLACEMENT. WITH THE HASSLE, AND COST OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS ARE LIKELY TO "LIVE WITH IT." AND PUT THEIR FAMILY AT RISK. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/DDDCLYJILYA

THE DOOR LOCKS ON BOTH SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS FAILED. THERE IS NO MANUAL LOCK TO BE ABLE TO INGRESS AND EGRESS THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED WITH AN OBNOXIOUS BUZZING SOUND WHEN THE LOCK OR UNLOCK BUTTON WAS PRESSED. IT QUICKLY THEN STOPPED WORKING AT ALL SO THAT PASSENGERS HAVE TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE REAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE OR VERY SMALL CHILDREN. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN AN EMERGENCY AND HIGHLY ANNOYING TO SAY THE LEAST IN DAY TO DAY USAGE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS JUST TWO YEARS OLD! NOT ACCEPTABLE! JUST WAIT UNTIL SOMEBODY IS TRAPPED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT LEADS TO DEATH OR SEVERE INJURY. THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE A MANUAL WAY TO ENTER AND EXIT A VEHICLE.

Mileage: 45,000

THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS FROZEN. THE DOOR IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND WILL NOT OPEN. IT WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE REMOTE BUTTONS OR MANUALLY. I HAVE CHILDREN, SO THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND OBSERVED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH THE SAME MODEL VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE AVERAGE COST FOR THE REPAIR SEEMS TO BE $1000.

2016 DODGE CARAVAN WITH 53,000 MILES ON IT. BOTH SLIDING DOORS STOPPED WORKING. ONE WAS IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND ONE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THEM TO WORK BY PUSHING THE LOCK BUTTONS MANUALLY WHILE HITTING LOCK/ UNLOCK BUTTONS. NOW BOTH DOORS MAKE A LOUD BUZZING NOISE WHEN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. WE BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY TELL US THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER WANTS $900 PER DOOR TO FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY WILL GET STUCK AGAIN IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR PRODUCTS. LAST VAN WE WILL EVER PURCHASE BY CHRYSLER OR DODGE. TOYOTA OR HONDA HERE WE COME!!! ALSO WHEN A VEHICLE CANT BE LOCKED WHO KNOW WHO IS HIDING INSIDE WHEN YOU GET OUT OF WORK. IT GETS DARK BY 5PM WHERE I LIVE.

I OWN A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LANDMARK DODGE IN INDEPENDENCE, MO AND THE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED LOCK ACTUATOR WITH ESTIMATED COST OF $1,000. THE SAME VEHICLE HAD THE LOCK ACTUATOR FAIL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE 2 YEARS AGO AND HAD IT FIXED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCK ACTUATORS FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO GET MY 4 KIDS OUT OF THE BACK SEAT USING ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, AND THAT IS ASSUMING THE ACCIDENT DIDN'T DAMAGE THE PASSENGER DOOR. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL, THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES.

IN FACT, MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN, EVEN USING THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR.

ONCE I RETURNED HOME AFTER THE STORE, I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED NOT ALL LOCKS SOUNDED WHEN PARKING. I USED MY BUTTONS ON MY OVERHEAD TO OPEN MY 2 SIDE DOORS. THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED FINE, BUT THE LEFT SLIDING DOOR WOULDNT OPEN. AS I WAS TRYING TO OPEN I NOTICED IT WASNT UNLOCKING. I TRIED EVERYTHING AND IT'S STILL STUCK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2011 TO 2018 VAN'S, ACCORDING TO THE 100+ REVIEWS I READ ONLINE. WITH THIS PROBLEM I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY BABY OUT OF THE VAN AND HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH THE VAN TO GET HIM OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, WHAT IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT AND IT WAS AN EMERGENCY??? THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY FOR MY BABY OR ONE OF MY OTHER 3 CHILDREN. THIS IS A KNOWN CONCERN AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY DODGE UNTIL SOMETHING TRAGIC DOES HAPPEN. PLEASE FIX BEFORE THIS HAPPENS.

THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN PARK, IN OUR DRIVEWAY, WHEN I PUSHED THE OVERHEAD "DOOR OPEN" BUTTON IN ORDER TO GET MY CHILDREN (2 WEEKS OLD AND 3 YEARS OLD) OUT OF THEIR CAR SEATS. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT REQUIRING IMMEDIATE EVACUATION AT THE TIME THAT THIS OCCURRED. STILL, I HAD TO GO IN VIA THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR, UNINSTALL MY NEWBORN INFANT'S CAR SEAT, AND LEAVE HER ON THE GROUND IN ORDER TO ACCESS MY TODDLER'S SEAT AND GET HIM OUT.

SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE BACK WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. THESE ARE BOTH HAZARDS WHICH SHOULD BE RECALLED, AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY!

I JUST WANT TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS SAFE FOR MY CHILDREN, AND MY VAN HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES ON IT, I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW OFF OF THE LOT. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING. *TR

MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS 44000 MILES. MY DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION. I CAN-NOT UNLOCK IT MANUALLY. IN CASE OF EMERGENCY MY KIDS COULD BE TRAPPED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME IT'S NOT COVERED BY WARRANTEE AND IT WILL COST MORE THAN $1000 TO FIX. THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO MANY OF THIS MINIVAN OWNERS.

MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT ABOUT TWO THREE DAYS AGO MY BACK PASSENGER ELECTRICAL SIDE DOOR STARTING MAKING A LOUD BUZZING NOISE AND FROM LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS ALL OF OUR 2016S ARE STARTING TO HAVE THIS SAME PART FAIL. THE PART IS THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WHICH OF COURSE IS NEVER COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM DODGE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE DOOR IT IS NOT SECURE.

A FEW TIMES WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO START THE VAN IT DID NOT START OR TURN OVER. TURNED KEY BACK AND TRIED RESTARTING AND IT STARTED UP. TODAY WHILE DRIVING THE DASH LIGHTS ALL FLASHED AND THE VAN STARTED TO QUIT. NO WARNINGS OF ANY KIND THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. VERY DANGEROUS! LUCKILY THE VAN REGAINED POWER AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATING I BELIEVE THE IGNITION SWITCH MAY BE FAILING. THE KEY FOB IS LOOSE IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CAN BE WIGGLED.

WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH BOTH THE REAR PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOORS ON OUR 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN R/T. THE VAN HAD ABOUT 37,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT. THE REAR SLIDING DOORS WERE NOT UNLOCKING TO OPEN THEM WHILE WE WERE STOPED, AND IN PARK. THIS HAPPENED IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT. THE ISSUE WITH THIS IS, WE COULDN'T OPEN THE DOORS TO LET OUR KIDS OUT OF THE VAN. THE OPEN/CLOSE SLIDING DOOR SWITCH IN THE VAN WOULD NOT OPEN THEM, NEITHER WOULD THE KEY FOB. WE TRIED TO UNLOCK IT MANUALLY ON THE DOOR ITSELF, BUT THE LOCK WAS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. I USED A LOT OF FORCE TO UNLOCK IT MANUALLY WITH NO LUCK. THE ACTUATORS THAT POWER THE MECHANICAL LOCKS FELT LIKE THEY WERE JAMMED AND WOULDN'T LET US UNLOCK THE DOORS MANUALLY. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET IT UNLOCKED BY FORCING AND HOLDING THE MANUAL LOCK IN THE UNLOCK POSITION WHILE HITTING THE KEY FOB UNLOCK/LOCK FEATURE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT TOOK ME 10 MINUTES TO TROUBLESHOOT THIS IN ORDER TO GET THE KIDS OUT. IT NOW WORKS FOR AWHILE JUST FINE, AND THEN GETS STUCK AGAIN WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. I THOUGHT AFTER I HAD IT WORKING THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED FIVE MORE TIMES AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT. THIS IS WHY I'M REPORTING IT. IF WE HAVE A EMERGENCY AND NEED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE FAST, THESE DEFECTIVE DOORS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE INJURIES OR DEATH. THE SCARIEST PART ABOUT THIS IS, I NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL ACT UP. I WOULD LEAVE THE DOORS UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING, BUT THEY AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN YOU REACH A CERTAIN SPEED. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DISABLE A SAFETY FEATURE TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH PASSENGERS IN THE BACK.

I UNLOCKED ALL DOORS AND STILL WON'T OPEN. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE MANUAL LOCK IS JAMMED ON LOCK POSITION!. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THERE WERE A NEED TO OPEN THAT DOOR IN AN EMERGENCY IT WOULD NOT WORK! I HAVE ALSO READ ON MULTIPLE CHAT SITES OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL IT NEEDS A RECALL SO IT GETS FIXED.

MY DOOR IS NOW STUCK CLOSED AND I DRIVE AROUND WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR ALL THE TIME. NOW I AM WORRIED IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A INTERSECTION TURNING RIGHT THE ENGINE SHUTOFF WITHOUT WARNING. ALONG WITH THE ENGINE SHUTOFF, POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND EVERYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER, RPMS, RADIO. WITH THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND POWER STEERING IT MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER TO SAFETY. ONCE STOPPED I WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK I TURNED THE KEY TO OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED BACK UP NORMALLY. ABSOLUTELY NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR WARNING WERE SHOWING BEFORE OR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. I SUSPECT THAT THE ISSUE IS THE TIPM BUT CAN'T BE EXACTLY SURE.

THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR MAKES A BUZZING SOUND AND DOES NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK.

THE TRANSMISSION IS ALL MESSED UP. WHEN YOU GET IN AND START UP THE VAN AND PUT IT IN GEAR IT ACTS LIKE YOU ARE FEATHERING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND IT WILL SLOWLY START TO TAKE OFF. WHEN SIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS IT WILL SOMETIMES SLIP, THE RPMS WILL REV UP AND DOWN THEN JUMP INTO GEAR. SOMETIMES WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS IT WILL JERK WHEN WE ARE STOPPING, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS CALL A BUMP STOP BY THE TECHS.ALSO IF WE HAVE 3 OR 4 PEOPLE IN THE VAN AND WE TRY AND BACK UP IT JERKS VIOLENTLY, IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE ON A BUCKING BRONCO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, AUDOBON CHRYSLER IN HENDERSON KY. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THAT THEIR ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS VAN. IT'S FUNNY THAT I CAN GO ON LINE AND FIND ALL KINDS OF RECALLS ABOUT THE POWER TRAIN AND MANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVANS, BUT THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY RECALLS??? I CAN'T RECALL THE EXACT DATE WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VAN, I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK IT UP,IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND WE ARE STILL FIGHTING WITH THE DEALER AS OF 10/24/2019 BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND GETTING WORSE??

THIS IS A VERY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND THE OCCUPANTS WOULD HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE VERY QUICKLY, THIS COULD BE AFFECTING LIFE OR DEATH. IN ADDITION, THE ONE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT LOCK SO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT CAN BE OPENED. THIS IS A CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN.. IN ADDITION, THIS IS A MAJOR SECURITY ISSUE SINCE THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT A DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE AND NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT. ALL I WAS TOLD WAS IT TAKES $1,200 TO FIX IT FOR EACH DOOR.

"TAKATA RECALL" I BROUGHT MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT, ON 04/17/19 IT HAS 30,000MILE ON IT. PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCKED AGAIN LAST TIME IT HAPPENS 2 MONTHS AGO I SPEND $1200 IT HAPPENS AGAIN

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR IS LOCKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. TWO DAYS LATER, THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED. THE DOOR HAS BEEN LOCKED SHUT FOR 1 MONTH NOW. WHEN I LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS FROM THE DOOR HANDLE, SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER DOOR WOULD OCCASIONALLY LOCK, BUT NOT UNLOCK WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WOULD UNLOCK. THE ENTIRE LOCK SYSTEM MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS IF I WERE TO GET IN A WRECK. SINCE THERE ARE NO MANUAL LOCKS, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT ALL DOORS BE LOCKED AND MY FAMILY (3 KIDS) WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL. IT WILL REQUIRE A TECHNICIAN TAKING FRONT DASH APART AND REPLACING A WIRELESS SENSOR. IF THIS IS SO COMMON, WHY NO WARRANTY WHEN IT'S A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE? 55,000 MILES, 2016 MODEL.

Mileage: 55,000

THE DRIVING SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS BECOME STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. IT IS UNABLE TO BE OPENED MANUALLY OR WITH THE REMOTE OR BUTTONS. I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE REMOTE TO PUT MY CHILD IN THE CAR. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR AN EMERGENCY SITUATION I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY INFANT OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY AND SAFELY.

A FEW MONTHS AGO THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STOPPED OPERATING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR IS STUCK IN LOCK POSITION AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AT ALL. TODAY THE OTHER SLIDING DOOR (DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR) STOPPED WORKING, LOCKING MY 4 MONTH OLD, 2 YEAR OLD AND 4 YEAR OLD IN THE REAR OF THE VAN. WE WERE ABLE TO CLIMB OVER THE MIDDLE CONSOLE IN THE FRONT SEAT TO GET THE CHILDREN OUT. IF THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, ALL OF OUR LIVES COULD'VE BEEN IN DANGER DUE TO THE DOORS NOT OPENING. I'VE RESEARCHED IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG DODGE/CHRYSLER VANS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.

Mileage: 61,000

THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN. WE HAVE TRIED EVERY WAY WE CAN TO UNLOCK IT --- KEY FOB, OVERHEAD DOOR OPENER, DRIVERS SIDE ELECTRIC LOCK, AND EVERY COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE --- BUT IT WILL NOT OPEN OR UNLOCK!! THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD..... NO ONE CAN GET OUT OF VEHICLE IN CASE OF FIRE OR ACCIDENT, THE DOOR WILL JUST NOT OPEN NO MATTER WHAT WE TRY!! ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET.....HUNDREDS OF DODGE GRAND CARAVAN'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!! THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED OVERNIGHT, WITH NO WARNING. WE CAME HOME, UNLOADED GROCERIES THAT EVENING AND LOCKED THE DOORS. THE NEXT MORNING THE DOOR WOULDN'T UNLOCK OR OPEN. ALL OTHER DOORS OPEN AND ARE WORKING FINE.

Mileage: 97,000

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR BEGAN TO STOP RESPONDING TO THE KEY FOB, BUT COULD STILL BE LOCKED/UNLOCKED MANUALLY. IT MADE A BUZZING NOISE ONE DAY THEN STOPPED OPENING ALTOGETHER. WE DECLINED THE REPAIR BECAUSE WE WERE QUOTED OVER $3000!!!! WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT 55,000MILES ON THE VAN. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON DODGE CARAVANS AND COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. TODAY, THE DRIVER PASSENGER DOOR HAS BEGUN MAKING A BUZZING NOISE AND WE WILL HAVE TO GET IT REPAIRED, OR NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO GET IN OR OUT OF THE BACKSEAT SAFELY. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT JUST THIS THING ASKING HOW TO GET THIS REPAIRED WITHOUT PAYING THOUSANDS, AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS OVERWHELMING. IN ALMOST ALL CASES, THE ACTUATOR INSIDE THE DOOR HAS BEEN EITHER CORRUPTED WITH RUST, OR A GEAR IS BROKEN.

Mileage: 55,000

DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR MECHANICAL LATCHING MECHANISM FOR THE SLIDING DOOR'S LOCK IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING THE DOOR TO BECOME STUCK IN THE SHUT POSITION, WITH THE MECHANICAL LOCK PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO BE OPERATED, RESULTING IN THE DOOR BEING BOUND IN THE SHUT POSITION. MECHANICAL LOCK DOES NOT RESPOND TO COMMANDS FROM THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER'S SIDE UNLOCK BUTTONS, OR FROM EITHER OF TWO KEY FOBS IN THE UNLOCK OR LOCK COMMANDED POSITIONS. ADDITIONALLY, OPEN & SHUT COMMANDS TO THE DOOR FROM THE KEY FOBS AND THE ABOVE-CENTER-CONSOLE BUTTONS DO NOT OPERATE THE DOOR. NOTABLE INFORMATION: WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR FROM THE KEY FOB, THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS HEARD TO BE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, BUT RESULTS IN NO OPERATION OF THE SLIDING DOOR, OR THE LOCK ITSELF. THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN AS PASSENGERS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE CAN BECOME TRAPPED SHOULD A ROLL OVER CONDITION EXIST. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY 1100.00 USD, AND IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY DODGE. 1100.00 USD SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED FOR A MECHANICAL DEFECT THAT WAS PRESENT AT THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTION, THAT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER, AND PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANY OCCUPANTS OF THE REAR PORTION OF THE VEHICLE.

ON 7-24-19 I NOTICED THAT THE REAR SLIDER DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD NOT OPEN. IT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB, THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE BUTTON, THE INTERIOR DOOR SWITCH OR THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. IT JUST WOULD NOT OPEN.I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC (THE CAR WAS NO LONGER COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY). HE DETERMINED THAT IS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR . UNTIL THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE A REAR PASSENGER WOULD HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME EXITING THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY . I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL RECENT POSTING OF THIS PROBLEM ON YOUR WEBSITE AND FEEL YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. THE DOOR WAS REPAIRED BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM HAPPENING ON THE OTHER DOOR . I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 37 MONTHS AND IT HAS 41,000.00 MILES.

Mileage: 41,000

SLIDING SIDE DOOR LOCKED SHUT AND CANNOT OPEN. THIS HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE FIRST. DEALER QUOTED $900. NOW DRIVERS SIDE IS LOCKED SHUT. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. PASSENGERS IN BACK CANNOT GET OUT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. IF ELECTRICAL LOCK GOES BAD, DOOR SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO OPEN MANUALLY. INTERNET BLOGS SHOW THIS IS VERY COMMON ON THESE VEHICLES. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL AND FIX.

THE LATCH SYSTEM IN MY SLIDING DOORS ARE GOING OUT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE VANS, ESPECIALLY 2016 MODELS. I ONLY HAVE 58K ON THE VAN AND HAVE ONLY OWNED IT 2 YEARS. I MAINTAIN THE VAN WELL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. A LOUD BUZZING SOUND OCCURS ANYTIME I PUSH ANY BUTTONS OR EXIT THE VEHICLE.

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AT MY SON'S DAYCARE. I WENT TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WITH THE KEY FOB, AND THE DOOR DID NOT OPEN. IT WAS FULLY FUNCTIONING THAT SAME DAY, AND NOW THE DOOR IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. I CANNOT UNLOCK THE REAR SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB. SO, I AM UNABLE TO ACCESS THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY TIME TO HELP BUCKLE/UNBUCKLE HIS CAR SEAT OR TO OPEN THE DOOR IN AN EMERGENCY.

RET'D FROM A WEEK LONG TRIP INTO MY DRIVEWAY, READY TO UNLOAD CLOTHES, ETC. DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT ACTIVATE, NOR COULD I OPEN IT MANUALLY. TRIED, TRIED, TRIED - BOTH MANUALLY AND WITH KEY FOB & WITH BUTTON ABOVE DASH, TO NO AVAIL. IN EARLY AM LEFT MILITARY FACILITY LODGING IN INDIANA - NO PROB. TOOK TO LOCAL HERTRICH DEALER POCOMOKE CITY, MD. INDICATED 'ACTUATOR' AT A COST OF OVER $700. DECIDED TO CHECK RECALL POSSIBILITY AS A TRUE SAFETY PROBLEM IF MY GREAT GRAND CHILDREN WERE INSIDE. STARTED COPYING ALL THE 2019 COMPLAINTS ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT OUT OF 222 COMPLAINTS THE LARGE MAJORITY ARE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. SURELY DODGE SHOULD PUT OUT A RECALL. SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED, HAD BOUGHT 2016 DODGE AS USED CAR W/REMAINING WARRANTY. HAD TO FIX PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF A GROWLING SOUND IN MID 2017. HERTRICH DODGE CAN PROVIDE THOSE DETAILS. YES, I WANT THIS COVERED, AFTER SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS JUST IN 2019. WILL INFORM MY DODGE DEALER RE THIS COMPLAINT & AWAIT A RECALL SURELY! CAR HAS OVER 79K MILES. AT 81, DON'T NEED SOMEONE KILLED OR INJURED ON MY WATCH BECAUSE THEY CANNOT EXIT IN AN EMERGENCY! 7/2/19 - AM LVG LODGING FINE; HOME IN DRIVEWAY IT OCCURRED.

MANUAL BUTTON WILL NOT RELEASE DOOR AND ALSO ALL CONTROLS ON REMOTE, DOOR PANEL OR BUTTON ON CEILING WILL NOT OPEN DOOR. SAFETY ISSUE IF GRANDKIDS OR PASSENGERS CAN'T EXIT THROUGH DOOR IN AN EMERGENCY. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS AND DODGE DOES NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES $1300 REPAIR TO FIX ON A 2 YR OLD CAR IS RIDICULOUS. PLEASE MAKE THIS A SAFETY RECALL, I AM AFRAID TO TAKE PASSENGERS IN MY VAN FOR GOD SAKE. I DIDN'T BUY A VAN TO NOT DID USE IT, BUT I HAVE NO MONEY TO FIX IT AND I AM LOCKE INTO AN EXPENSIVE CAR PAYMENT NOT EXPECTING TO HAVE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS.

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR IS UNRESPONSIVE. THE DOOR DOESN'T OPEN OR CLOSE MANUALLY, WITH THE POWER BUTTON, OR WITH THE KEY FOB. ALL THE OTHER DOORS WORK AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. WHEN THE BUTTON ON THE FOB IS PRESSED, THE VEHICLE LIGHTS FLASH, ACKNOWLEDGING THE COMMAND, HOWEVER NOTHING HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT MY HOME, AND WHILE TRYING TO LOAD MY INFANT CHILDREN INTO THEIR CAREERS, WE DISCOVERED THE DOOR WAS INOPERABLE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH A FUSE, BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SLIDER IS ON THE SAME FUSE AND WORKS FINE. I CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR TO INSPECT THE WIRING HARNESSES; BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A POORLY DESIGNED WIRING HARNESS OR PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUATOR. IF MY VEHICLE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, I WOULD BE UNABLE TO FREE MY CHILDREN FROM THE VEHICLE.

THE LOCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. THE DOOR IS STUCK AND WILL NOT OPEN SINCE THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS STUCK. IT WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY.

THIS IS REGARDING MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN (ONLY 45K MILES). BOTH SLIDING DOORS WERE WORKING FINE, THEN ON MAY 20, 2019 THE DRIVER'S SLIDING DOOR JUST FROZE--CAN'T OPEN IT ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE LOCK IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND THE POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH WON'T MOVE THAT DOOR'S LOCK TO THE 'UNLOCK' POSITION. WHEN I TRY TO MOVE THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON/LEVER ON THAT SLIDING DOOR, IT'S STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION--EVEN WITH A BUNCH OF FORCE I CAN'T MOVE THE LEVER TO THE UNLOCKED POSITION--I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO BREAK THE LEVER IF I FORCE IT TOO MUCH. SO THE DOOR IS BASICALLY UNUSABLE RIGHT NOW. I HAVE FOUR (4) CHILDREN AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THEY CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE MANNER IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP I GO TO STATED THAT THIS IS A 'KNOWN PROBLEM' WITH DODGE GRAND CARAVANS AND THAT DODGE REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE COST TO FIX THE ISSUE IS $506.59 THE BIGGER CONCERN IS THAT I WENT ON VARIOUS DODGE 'BLOG SITES' AND I COUNTED OVER 100 OTHER POSTS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP IN GETTING THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I CANNOT SEE MYSELF PAYING $506.59 TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPOND.

I BOUGHT A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH 77,438 MILES. THE VEHICLE RAN GREAT TILL THE END OF NOVEMBER 2018. AT WHICH TIME WE STARTED HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. 1ST THE VEHICLE WILL SELF ACCELERATE WITH TO EXCESSIVE SPEEDS OVER 80 MPH WITH NO ASSISTANCE. YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE BREAK TO KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL. 2ND YOU CAN TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, CLOSE THE DOOR AND THE CAR CONTINUE TO RUN. 3RD WHEN STARTING THE VAN THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO LIMP MODE NOT ALLOWING YOU TO SHIFT THE CAR TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. TO RELEASE THE YOU HAVE TO HIT THE SAFETY OVERRIDE SWITCH PLACE THE VAN IN GEAR AND THEN YOU ARE ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE SPEED OF 30 MPH. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS VAN TO THE SHOP THAT DRIVE TIME WARRANTY COMPANY DIRECTED US TO WHICH WAS PEP BOYS. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DO THE WORK THE VEHICLE NEEDED BUT STILL CHARGES US $50. DRIVE TIME SAID WE WOULD BE REIMBURSE FOR BUT NEVER HAPPENED. THEN DRIVE TIME DIRECTED US TO TAKE THE CAR TO MEINEKE THE DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WE PAID THE DEDUCTIBLE $100. DROVE THE VAN HOME 1 WEEK LATER IT WAS BACK AT MEINEKE TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. MEINEKE ADVISED THAT THE PART THAT WAS UNDER WARRANTY CAUSE SEVER DAMAGE TO OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE VAN. DRIVE TIME AUTHORIZED THE WORK. WE WENT TO PICK UP THE VAN AS IT WAS COMPLETED MEINEKE ADVISED US IT WOULD BE $2700 FOR THE REPAIRS AS DRIVE TIME WAS NOT PAYING FOR IT. WE CONTACTED DRIVE TIME ON THIS THEY ADVISED US TO PICK THE VAN UP AND NOT TO PAY MEINEKE ANYTHING. SO WE WENT ROUND AND ROUND WITH DRIVE TIME AND MEINEKE FINALLY GETTING OUR VAN BACK.

MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN BLOWS ONLY HOT AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. I TRIED TO TURN AC ON AND FOUND DRIVER SIDE IS BLOWING COLD AIR BUT PASSENGER SIDE IS STILL BLOWING HOT AIR. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL?

THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED CAUSING THE DOOR LOCKS TO GET STUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION. THE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT MOVE TO THE UNLOCK POSITION AND THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THIS HAPPENS ON THE STREET WHILE DRIVING AND PASSENGERS HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM ANOTHER DOOR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO ESCAPE FROM THAT DOOR. LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS THIS IS COMMON WITH THIS MODEL.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED DUE TO A FAULTY ACTUATOR. THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE RIDING IN THE BACK OF THE VAN, IF THE OTHER SLIDER IS DAMAGED, THE PASSENGERS COULD BECOME TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTER THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBABLY IN MODEL YEARS 2014-2017. THE POWER LOCKS WORK FINE, THEN SUDDENLY THE ONE SLIDER WILL NOT OPERATE.

AZ - 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN R/T, APPROX 63,500 MI. 2 WEEKS AGO I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START. I ASSUMED IT WAS THE BATTERY BECAUSE ITS A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. I GAVE IT A JUMP AND THE VEHICLE STARTED. I SET THE TIME AS IT HAD RESET TO 12:00AM BUT RADIO STATIONS WERE STILL PROGRAMMED. I WENT ON A 3HR DRIVE BACK HOME WITH NO ISSUES AND FIGURED THE BATTERY WAS CHARGED BY THE TIME I GOT HOME. BEFORE I WENT INSIDE FOR THE NIGHT, I ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE UP AND IT STARTED WITH NO ISSUES. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START ON THE FIRST OR SECOND ATTEMPT. I NOTICED THE DISPLAY ON THE DASH WOULD ALTERNATE FROM "RUN" TO "OFF" EACH TIME I WOULD TRY TO START IT. THE THIRD TRY THE VEHICLE STARTED FOR A GOOD 3-5 SECONDS THEN DIED. THE NEXT ATTEMPT THE VEHICLE STARTED. I HAD THE SAME ISSUES AFTER WORK AND EACH TIME I WOULD THINK IT WAS THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD TRY TO TURN OVER AND DASH WOULD ALTERNATE START TO OFF AND THE CLOCK ON THE RADIO WOULD RESET TO 12:00 AM. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 WEEKS NOW, I REACHED THE POINT OF REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR. I ALSO HAD THE NEW ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY TESTED, BOTH TESTED GOOD. WHAT KEPT LEADING ME TO A BAD ALTERNATOR/BATTERY WAS THE FACT THAT THE CLOCK WOULD RESET AND THE FIRST FEW ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT WORK. MY THINKING STARTED TO CHANGE AS THE DAYS PASSED. I THOUGHT THAT HAD IT BEEN A BATTERY OR CHARGING ISSUE THE BATTERY WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BY NOW. TODAY I WENT THROUGH THE SAME ROUTINE, TRIED TWICE TO START, THEN IT WOULD START THEN STALL, OF COURSE THE LAST TRY IT WOULD STAY ON. SAME THING IN THE EVENING, AFTER WORK, BUT THIS TIME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT 45MPH. NO WARNINGS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I PULLED OVER, VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP. A SEARCH OF THE SYMPTOMS LEAD ME TO TIPM ISSUES EARLIER MODELS WERE HAVING.

VEHICLE AT 36500 MILES THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR BUZZING WHEN STARTING OR LOCKING VEHICLE. UPON VISITING THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR ACTUATOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY 300 TO 500 TO REPAIR. THE FULL DODGE WARRANTY ENDED AT 36000 MILES. THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. AUTOMATICALLY THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW AND RISK TO OCCUPANT WHILE DRIVING IF THE DOORS ARE NOT VERIFIED MANUALLY LOCKED. THIS IS A RISK FOR CHILDREN, IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, LOCATED IN THE CENTER SEATS OF THE VEHICLE WHILE OPERATING.

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH LESS THAN 2K MILES ON IT AND IN THE MONTH TIMEFRAME I HAVE HAD IT, IT HAS STALLED 3 TIMES ON ME. ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD AND TWICE IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE TIME ON THE BUSY ROAD WAS WHEN I WAS KEEPING UP WITH TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME WAS WHEN I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I HAD NO SOONER STARTED THE VAN THAT IT SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. BOTH INSTANCES I HAVE HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS. WHEN TOWED TO DEALER, NO CODES CAME ON SO I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO WAY TO DETERMINE WHAT WENT WRONG WITH VEHICLE.

PURCHASED THIS BRAND NEW SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. DROVE 8,000 MILES TO AND FROM WORK. TWICE WITHIN THE PAST WEEK THE VAN HAS COMPLETELY JUST TURNED OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I WAS JUST DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE VAN JUST TURNED OFF. IT'S AS IF SOMEONE WERE TO GRAB THE KEYS AND TURN IT OFF. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED AND KEPT DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS QUICK ENOUGH AND MY CHILDREN AND I WERE SAFE.

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS 85-90 DEGREES, OUR VAN HAS A COMPUTER GLITCH. IT HAS OCCURRED BOTH WHEN FIRST STARTING THE ENGINE OR GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEGINNING JULY 2016. THE WIPERS COME ON AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF. THERE ARE NO GAGES ON THE DASH AND THE DISPLAY READS "NO BUS." THE TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. THERE IS NO RADIO, A/C OR HEATER, AND SOME OF THE WINDOWS WON'T WORK. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO TELL HOW FAST WE ARE GOING WITH NO GAGES. THIS PROBLEM DID HAPPEN ONE TIME AS WE WERE GOING 75 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS TRULY AN UNSAFE SITUATION WITH NO TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS AND NO WAY TO KNOW OUR ACTUAL SPEED. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 40 MILES UNTIL THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DROPPED. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF OVER 40 DAYS IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ERROR ONE TIME FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS BUT THE PROBLEM RESOLVED BEFORE THE TECH COULD GET THE SCANNER HOOKED UP. THE TIPM AND ANOTHER MODULE HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE HAS CLOSED OUR CLAIM, SAYING THAT BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOW THAT THE WEATHER IS COOLER, THEY CANNOT DO ANY MORE. OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE PROBLEM WILL ARISE AGAIN WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS UP NEXT SUMMER.
