2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Unknown Or Other Problems

Transmission started shifting hard at 98K miles. It died at red lights on occasion. Took to shop and they replaced the transmission solenoid. That fixed it from dying at red lights but vehicle transmission is about to fully go out right at 100K miles. I will never buy another Dodge vehicle.

while driving the engine light came on within 10 minutes the car started jumping in place and then within 5 minutes completely would not go in any direction forward reverse or neutral and just revved the torque locked up the transmission quit completely did not even give me time to pull over and access the issue was 7 min from home when completely quit

The sliding passenger door will not open with remote or manually. I have heard that there is a recall out for this. I need help finding it.

Dear FCA 06/30/2025 As a dodge owner I have to tell you about my situation, I’m a 2016 Dodge Caravan Owner and love the van, love the stow and go seating and both sides sliding doors and the room. We bought this van because our other vehicles didn’t fit all our grandkids in, so it’s our 3rd vehicle for that use. It was used gingerly and kept in our garage. Well maintained “all oil change, tires and brake record’s” as well as any recalls! and recommended services when recommended like the 2023 tranny flush and filter. Which we had to hunt for a dealership that did .We never had any symptoms or warning lights with the exception of low tire light. In late January 2025 we transferred ownership to my son and daughter in law who just welcomed another baby, boy number 4, so you can imagine they needed the room. At this time the van was around 76,000 for mileage. My daughter in law still on maternity leave takes the boys to the movies in April,2025 comes out and the Van won’t move! Mileage 80,686! This is just crazy and she has to get it towed and guess what they say the transmission is no good and here we are $6000.00 later. I have since talked with several mechanics and FB people who have been in this very situation with Dodge products, Dodge has transmission issues! I have contacted Dodge no response! And the FCA no response! Please respond with what else I can do to further push for some kind of investigation into this!

It seems as though the transmission is failing. I read somewhere that 2016 Dodge Grand Caravans have been recalled for transmission issues. I'd like for my VIN be added to that recall list.

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.

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

Closed the driver side sliding door and the headrest on the driver seat exploded open. Car was not in motion. Door shut and head rest adjacent to it just popped apart and hit the head of the person in the driver seat.

The back door on my 2016 Dodge Grand caravan on the driver side will not open from the inside or the outside I can't get my infant out if there was a fire or an accident vehicle only has 47,000 miles on it

When leaving for a family outing on Saturday, I noticed the driver headrest did not look right. It was separated in 2 pieces and would not go back together. When trying to find a resolution I learned that this unexpected deployment is a common problem that apparently Dodge is not yet willing to fix. I called the dealer where the van was purchased and they confirmed that there are NO recalls for this vehicle and the repair would be out of my pocket. They would not even quote a price without bringing the vehicle to the dealer to diagnose (for $119). I am willing to provide photos for anyone that needs it to confirm this separation to include drivers door label and VIN number. It should not take $119 for anyone to confirm this AHS deployment. Frankly, I am appalled that the manufacturer is not choosing to recall vehicles with this complaint or that there is an active investigation about this matter but NO recall. How are these vehicles considered safe? And how long will we have to drive a vehicle that cannot protect us because safety mechanism has already activated (without a crash until there is one)?!

Sliding door latch mechanism failed on the right rear passenger door. Part number 68030380AE. The right rear passenger door was locked in the closed position. No amount of effort would open the door. I feel this is a severe safety issue. If there was an accident, especially involving the vehicle catching fire, the passenger would not be able to exit the vehicle. Please help. There should be a manual override for this latch mechanism.

My car started making a loud buzzing sound after starting it up and driving. The sound startled me and I was scared to drive. It stopped so I continued on with my day. Every time I started it up and drove it did the same thing. Finally after getting home and hitting the lock on my remote, it did the same noise locking the car. I realized it is an issue with a motor on the automatic locking mechanism. I don’t know what it means or if it’s a safety issue but it really frightened me because it’s so loud. I don’t have a picture but I do have a video of the noise.

Passenger's sliding door will not unlock electronically or manually making an obvious safety hazard for my children Gran children. All other doors are working at this time. Problem started approximately 04/01/24. My research has shown many complaints of this safety hazard for this year/ make/model 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. Should be recalled if not already. Unique.

Sliding door got stuck shut and buzzes every time doors are locked.

Transmission. Available for inspection No it has not been reproduced or confirmed by anyone No it has not been inspected Check engine around 8 months ago

Rear door locks malfunction and fail resulting in doors locking. They then cannot be unlocked and opened either with key fob or manually. This is a major safety issue.

My drivers side sliding door actuator was replaced several years ago under warranty due to buzzing noise. Now it will not allow that same door to release the lock to open it up.

2016 Dodge Grand Caravan, sliding passenger door on driver side will not unlock or open. Per local mechanic the lock actuator has failed. Should I end up in an accident someone could be trapped in the vehicle. I also transport a mobile wheelchair and can only load it from side doors. Should the other latch fail it will be impossible to load or remove wheelchair. This should be a safety issue.

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

Dealer edited the carfax to make no accident reported car but when I ran carfax it has 2 accidents. Dealer this fraud might be consider as fraud. Detail: Bought the car on April 2023. FairFax motor provided me no accident carfax but when I ran my own carfax found that car had 2 accident. Accident No.1: First accident reported on May-2018 but Fairfax motor gave me carfax had no accident. This people tempered carfax report. I have original copy with my sign on it with purchase deal document. Uploaded the dealer fraud copy of the carfax report. Accident No.2: 2nd accident reported on 04/26/2023 but I purchase the car on 04/22/203 and got delivered my home by (Sales person) on 04/27/2023. I have delivery text massaged confirmation for proof. How can they had accident before delivery and not informed me at all? I did email couple of time to (Sales person) for justification and ask me to connect (owner or manager) but she ignored my email.

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

Van started fine and as I was driving the engine started revering hard and felt like it was having a hard time sifting lucky I was near my mechanic and they did that plug in and test it because the engine light came on right when I pulled in and said the transmission is gone they where able to find a rebuilt engine for my van and replaced old with a compatible engine now when this happened I had 60,000 miles. He did tell me that unfortunately they have seen this issue alot with the dodge caravan transmission just cuts out like this with no warning at all and I Googled this issue and it seems to happened to alot of other van owners. There is another issue going on that every time I get in my van before putting the key in the ignition there's a humming sound and when I park and pull out my key after car is off it makes a humming noise I have no clue what is going on but when I Google this issue it seems to be a escalator I don't know why there's not a recall on what is causing this to go on but it seems to be a dodge grand van issue.

The sliding door power locks are stuck locked closed. I can’t open the sliding doors with anything. The key fob, the internal electric push buttons in van, and the manual unlock tabs won’t unlock them. So if we had an accident, people in the back two rows would be unable to open the sliding doors to get out. If that’s not a safety issue, I don’t know what is. NHTSA has already closed their investigation of this issue after Chrysler issued extended warranty D21-15 (x98) which supposedly will fix this safety problem at no cost to the owner. There are a multitude of internet discussions of this issue, with many owners reporting that Dodge dealerships are now charging them for the repairs based on an amendment Chrysler made to the initial Service Bulletin TSB 23-017-20. I called a local dealership and they said that their understanding of Extended warranty D21-15 (amended TSB 23-036-21) is that it will not cover the repairs to my vehicle because the sliding door locks are not “buzzing” when I attempt to lock or unlock them. That asterisked verbiage was included in an amended TSB after Dodge initially approved a warranty extension, effectively excluding a large percentage of costly repairs to a known safety issue. I called the FCA US LLC customer Service at 1-800-423-6343, and the call center REP told me I should just try calling different dealerships to see if I can get a different answer. I got the same answer from another dealership. How this bait and switch passed muster at NHTSA is simply astonishing. So a multitude of 2016 Dodge Grand Caravans have sliding doors that fail locked closed. Some are failing due to power lock actuators failing and some may be due to door latches failing. All of these failures are a known safety issue that Dodge should be fixing at no cost to owner. I will be filing a lawsuit claim regarding this unresolved safety issue.

THE REAR PASSANGER DOOR ON 2016 GRAND CARAVAN SE PLUS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK.THE DOOR ACTUATOR IS STUCK IN UNLOCK POSITION AS IT CAUSES CONCERN FOR BREAK INS AND THE SAFTY OF MY CHILDREN IF SOME ONE WALKS UP TO THE DOOR AND OPENS IT.I SAW THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE RT MODELS NOT SURE WHY OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ARE NOT INCLUDED.

Drivers side passenger door stuck shut(locked) and buzzing sound when lock button is used.

Actuators on sliding doors fail and doors become stuck in the locked position. Rear passengers become stuck.

Driver's side rear sliding door stuck shut. It won't lock or unlock electronically or manually.

BOTH SLIDING DOORS ARE LOCKED AND CAN'T BE OPENED MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY OUR KIDS AND PASSENGERS CAN'T EXIT SAFELY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED AND WARRANTY EXTENTED-DEALER CHARGED $155 AND TOLD US THAT THE DOOR BEING LOCKED AND NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN IS NOT THE ISSUE BUT THE LATCH IS DEFECTIVE. (WE DON'T BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE) THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY MANUFACTURER AND WE RECIEVED A LETTER DIRECTING US TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS FOR THESE ISSUES. THE POWER LOCK ACTUATOR MADE A CLICKING/BUZZING SOUND AS DESCRIBED IN THE LETTER FROM FCA US LLC BEFORE GOING BAD. WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE WE HAVE THREE KIDS THAT ARE DAILY PASSENGERS.

Passenger side active headrest deployed on its own while driving. No accident or collision involved. 16 year old son was seated in the passenger side seat when the headrest deployed on its own. Luckily no injury to my son. Want to report this issue to prevent any possible injuries that may arise due to malfunction deployment of active headrest. Researched online and discovered that this is an ongoing issue with Chrysler/Dodge vehicles and is not covered under warranty. Will have to search for a used replacement part since dealership cost for repair is too costly.

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.

Door buzzes when unlocking it, all the time..

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.

Loud buzzing noise when locking and unlocking door. Have been told its the actuator

Hood latch bolts fell out while driving and the hood flew up and broke the windshield. I was going down a hwy 60mph raining at night.

The passenger side sliding door lock actuator seized, forcing the door to be stuck closed in a locked position. I tried unlocking via the key fob, the door power lock controls, and manually unlocking the lever on the door. None worked. If I had gotten into an accident or had another emergency when this failed, I would not have been able to get the door open to get my toddler out of his car seat. When I looked online, I saw that this was a common issue, but no recall has been issued.

Actuator failed and car makes a loud buzzing sound when locking or unlocking the door. Back driver-side door won't open.

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

Loud buzzing sound on passenger side when locking or unlocking doors front and side door very loud buzzing sound afraid if I have my grandbabies in back seat is the door going to fly open or worse what is the noise and is this a recall that can be fixed never happened before now it is all the time buzzing when you lock and unlock doors.

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

In July of 2022, the air conditioner failed. Called to make an appointment with DeLuca, the part did not come in so we did not bring the van in for repair. In August 2022 the van started stalling while driving on occasion. Brought into the mechanics but he could not see an issue of why the van would be stalling and could not diagnose when the van was stalling as it did not occur while he was inspecting the van. On October 17, 2022, the driver of the van called to say that the engine started smoking, there was a big puddle under the van and he could not move the van. He was stuck on the side of Tower Hill in Auburn, NH in a dangerous spot.

Rear passenger door makes a very loud buzz noise when locked or unlocked.

Passenger rear door would not lock and I have been unable to secure my car from theft. I put gorilla tape on the handle to discourage anyone from opening it. Then it started buzzing. My mechanic has "fixed" it twice, and he has it locking for now, but it buzzes EVERY TIME the door locks or unlocks. I am unable to keep spending money on fixing it and now understand that it is a known problem with this vehicle. It needs to be recalled and dealer needs to pay to fix it.

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 rear passenger doors have faulty lock actuators. Looked on my forums and tons of people are having the same issues. I had one door actuator replaced a couple years ago. Now my other door actuator is acting up. Dodge will charge $600-$1000 to replace.

Problem trans , copliar , overhearting and tires but my dodge still sit at shop waiting but still owe Vehical and try bank and dealership frustrated and need drive school , college , etc shop said different water pump , motor , trans , but fixed themiost and not work and worse now so can’t drive and still owe I am not happy and please email me And can’t speak voice phone thanks

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.

My right side passenger door is 100 percent stuck in the lock position. We have car seats in the captains chairs and can not tend to the children properly because the door will not open. There is not even an option to open manually! We need the doors to be easily open to get the kids in a case of an emergancy

Driver side sliding door locking mechanism will not unlock and hence the door cannot be opened from inside or outside the vehicle. Has not been diagnosed by dealer or any others. All other doors work as expected. This is true safety concern. In the event of an emergency, a person sitting adjacent to this sliding door would not be able to escape. Should absolutely be a recall. A true safety concern. There are may people complaining of the same problem on the internet. Should not wait until someone dies to address this issue.

On June 3, 2022, the rear sliding door on the passenger side of my van wouldn't open. It can't be opened via the fob, the button above the driver's center console, nor by hand. It will not unlock. From inside the cabin, I can't unlock the door either. At present, this hasn't put anyone's safety at risk, but if I had had passengers in the back, and we'd been in an accident or some other situation that required us to quickly exit the vehicle, exit would have been impeded. I have an appointment with the service section of the local Dodge dealer. I'm finding online that Chrysler has extended the warranty on door lock actuator on the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan to 15 years/150,000 miles. I'm within that window, but whatever the problem, I want it documented. There were no warning lamps, messages, nor symptoms of the problem before it occurred. I had no odd sounds from the door motor/lock mechanism nor any warning messages/lamps. The door just wouldn't open when I went to open it this morning.

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.

Door actuators buzzing everytime it locks and unlocks. Apparently there's a lot of people complaining about this. Why isn't there a recall? It's really really loud.

The passenger side sliding door had a loud buzzing sound when unlocked and now will not unlock or open

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.

Both driver and passenger side sliding doors are stuck in a locked close position. This is VERY scary I am a family I have 4 kids that could be trapped if there is ever an accident. I have searched online and have seen so many cases of people dealing g with the same stuck sliding door issue. This is a major security life threatening problem

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.

The driver's side sliding door won't open, and the passenger side sliding door sometimes will open a little and then reclose. Dodge extended the warranty in January, but the mileage on our van puts us outside of the warranty. However, when our door stopped opening, our van would have been in the warranty. I consider this a safety issue. We have taken the van to the local dealer, and the issue with the sliding door is what the extended warranty was intended. Since we are outside of the warranty, Dodge/Chrysler will not cover the expense of repairing the door.

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.

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

The actuator on the sliding door of the minivan is stuck in the unlocked position. This means that the door cannot lock under any circumstances. When driving the door remains unlocked and there is no way to lock it. The other sliding door was previous stuck in the locked position and I had it replaced by a mechanic.

Vehicle: I own a 2016 Dodge Caravan. Issue: When I unlock my van or open the back passenger sliding door, there is a loud annoying buzzing noise coming from the door. It may be a door actuator. Periodically the lock will stop responding and it stays locked until the buzzing noise comes back. I have small children and this worries my wife and I. Fear is the door wouldn't respond in the event of an emergency. I am attaching three files I found online that seem to have observed similar behavior of the doors on 2016 Dodge Caravans.

The drivers side sliding door lock is buzzing and not sure if it auto locks.

Sliding door locks cannot be operated from outside of the vehicle, once the lock actuator fails. The button on the inside, (both upper console and B pillar button) will not operate the door. The door can only be opened manually after manually moving the lock switch. Small or older passengers would not be able to exit after a crash, and could not be assisted without breaking the window.

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.

Out of the blue the passenger slider door started making this awful noise everytime you unlock it. Sounds like this is a pretty common probably after doing some research. Should be a re call after multiple searches it’s something that started on the 2016 with the locking mechanism.

Both of my back sliding doors have locked up….we had to pull by 80 year old mother in law out the back cargo area…this is a 2016 vehicle and now the alarm is constantly going of the horn is blowing and I am on disability and can not afford to fix all that is going wrong with this car….now I have a van that the kids are having to climb in and out the front and this is so embarrassing…please help. I have heard several complaints on the same matter…I have had 2 transmissions out in here and I bought this car with only 313 miles on it…

The door lock actuator is buzzing on our driver side sliding door. I have read that there are issues with buzzing and then the lock failing and the door not opening. This is super concerning because my three year old sits on this side in a five point harness.

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

Both back sliding door locks are inoperable. The passenger side made a buzzing noise for a while and now won't lock at all and the drive side will not unlock even, manually flipping the switch does not work.

Last week the driver's side automatic sliding door in my 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan got stuck in the locked position. It is unable to be opened, either by remote or manually, and the lock can not be disabled rendering this door unusable. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD! I have 4 children, which is the main reason I got a minivan and specifically one with automatic sliding doors. Two of my children are still in car seats, which are located beside each sliding door so I can help with their seat belts as needed. My youngest is beside the driver's side sliding door, the one I have having the issue with now. Right now, unless I reach over and behind the driver's seat or walk around the car to the opposite door, I CAN NOT REACH MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT!!!! Not only is this extremely inconvenient and time consuming, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! What if my son needs help with something and I need to reach him? What if he is choking? What if we are in an accident and I need to get him out of his car seat? When searching this issue online, it quickly became evident THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT DODGE KNOWS ABOUT AND HASN'T RECALLED!!! I was beyond shocked and appalled! How could this issue be common and known - it's ALL OVER the Internet, and not be acknowledged by Dodge??? Is my children's safety not worthy of a recall? Is this just a money making scheme? ARE THEY WAITING FOR A CHILD TO DIE TO DO A RECALL? The majority of people who buy minivans have young children and need the convenience of sliding doors. So the majority of people at-risk with this issue are children. This is blatant neglect on the part of Dodge and needs to be called out and have Dodge recall it as soon as possible before something bad happens. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Both sliding doors will not open. It started that one would not lock and one would not unlock now both are stuck closed. I have 3 kids and they have to crawl out the front doors in order to get out or in. I have been reading about the actuators going out on other vans.

The passenger side sliding door will not lock, even the manual lock is stuck in the unlocked position. I just bought the car used 2 months ago and only realized the problem when I went to pick up my children from school. They approached the vehicle and pulled the door handle before I had a chance to put the car in park, and to my surprise it opened. I don't know how long it's been like this. It's my understanding that this is a common point of failure for 2015-2018 Dodge/Chryser minivans, that the locks can become stuck in the locked or unlocked position and it's very expensive for the consumer to fix. The manufacturer ought to issue a recall and replace the faulty components as this is a safety issue.

Automatic door locks make loud buzzing noise when they lock. I m afraid we will get stuck in locked car. I have not brought to anyone yet. No warning lamps or anything else. This is a definite safety Hazzard and I want it repaired at no charge before something tragic happens.

DRIVERS SIDE, SLIDING DOOR, WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE. EITHER REMOTELY OR MANNUALLY. ALL DOORS HAVE BEEN BUZZING UPON ACTIVATION FOR A FEW YEARS NOW, BUT I CAN"T AFFORD TO FIX THAT. VEHICLE HAS 55,000 MILES PLUS ON IT, AND I REALLY LOVE IT, BUT I DONT THINK I'LL BUY ANOTHER ONE UNLESS I RECEIVE SOME SATISFACTION REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REVIEWED THIS CONDITION ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND IT'S MORE COMMON THAN I WOULD THOUGHT. DODGE SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR NOT CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM.

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.

Bought van and shortly after the right passenger sliding door starting making a loud buzz every time it was unlocked. Researched that it was the actuator, have not fixed yet. Now, In August 2021, the drivers passenger sliding door will not open. It just stopped one day. it won't open with the latch, inside or outside, with the key fob, or with the button inside on the door or on the visor. I'm afraid if I ever have a wreck, we could be trapped with doors that just don't open. I've reached out to a few dealerships, and it is a costly fix and can't seem to get much info or response back from them anyway.

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.

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

Currently my sliding passenger side door is in the locked position and will not unlock. I purchased the vehicle in January 2016 and had the drivers side sliding door lock actuator replaced by dealer in September 2018. I am now incurring the cost of having the passenger side actuator replaced. I believe this is a major safety issue as my children cannot exit the vehicle on one side, twice now on a relatively new vehicle. The door lock CANNOT be utilized in a manual manor thus it is either risk having to exit through the rear lift gate or front door or pay to have the part replaced. I will ask to have the defective part retained for inspection on the current broke side. There is a FCA service bulletin, 23-017-20 currently recommending dealers replace both sides when brought ot hteir attention.

Upon arriving home, I tried to remove my special needs daughter from the rear driver sliding door, locking mechanism remained engaged. I attempted to unlock with the fob, the driver door buttons, & on the sliding door itself. Nothing has changed.

Vehicle stalls while driving, losing all power. Often cannot be immediately started again. Has been to the dealer several times; they can not duplicate the problem to diagnose. Date of incident selected below was the first of many occurrences.

My left sliding door won't open or unlock. My right sliding door is making a loud buzzing sound when the power lock unlocks/locks. The vehicle is currently at a dealership for these problems.

Passenger side rear sliding door is locked, as it has been reported in CASE number 11424331. this could cause serious problem in case of fire or accident, delaying back seat passengers exiting the car.

Rear driver side door is stuck in locked position. Can not electrically or manually unlock or open door. This is a safety concern for children in vehicle.

The driver's side power sliding door locked and would not open either by mechanical means or power slide using the handle or the button over the driver's head. Then the next day the passenger side sliding door did the same thing. I had to hit the door with my socked foot from the inside while trying to unlock the door manually. I was eventually able to get the driver's side sliding door open by this means and the passenger door started to work also. The problem now is the actuator makes a buzzing sound when I hit the lock button either on the door or the keyless remote or when the vehicle reaches auto lock speed. This is a HUGE safety issue for rear passengers. If there is an accident or vehicle fire, the rear passengers will not be able to get out and might suffer severe injuries or die!!!!!!!!!!!

I am writing today with a serious safety issue on our 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. Our van has rear power sliding doors and locks; recently the drivers side rear door has stopped sliding and will not unlock at all, either with the key or manually. APPARENTLY this is a WELL-KNOWN ISSUE ; the dealer has stated that they will take a look at a vehicle for repair but we will have to pay the $200 diagnostic fee and approximately $1300-1700 to have the door repaired. THIS IS A COMMON FACTORY DEFECT that is also a SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD . I have two young children; if I was hit on the passenger side of the vehicle, how could I possibly get my children out of the car safely? If it was simply a power vs. Manual door issue, we wouldn't mind. However, the door will NOT OPEN AT ALL!! Now the passengers side rear slide door is making really loud noises, . Loud enough to startle people walking by or in the van trying to get out. So, it is also about to go out and that will leave no way in to the side of the van where my children and elderly parents sit to get them out and it will be another $1300- $1700 to fix. Will it take the Death of a child for Dodge to issue a recall on the common problem? Even the repair tech at the dealer said that it happens all the time. This is not right and not safe for families. After a quick search I have found so many more people that have the same exact problem and Dodge still isn't willing to help. Please contact me if you need more information. Thank You

The driver's side door is stuck in the locked position. You cannot unlock it manually, you cannot open the door manually. The key fob will not open it. The button on the top of the van will not open it. If this happens to all the doors, we could be stuck inside. We live in South Carolina where the daily summer temperatures are over 90. If all of the doors get stuck, who knows if the windows will get stuck. What if we get stuck in the car? We have contacted someone to repair it and it is over $1200. That is ridiculous for a 5 year old vehicle. There were no warnings of this and the door opened about 10 minutes before this happened. I am on a Q&A post about this issue with almost 200 other people who all have the same issue. How is this not a huge safety concern for you at Dodge?

Passenger sliding door lock actuators fail. This failure prevents the ability to lock or unlock the door via the FOB, press buttons or from the drivers console. This also prohibits opening the afflicted door from outside of the vehicle. Children are often unable to manually unlock the door and exit.

Passenger side rear sliding door stuck in locked position. Unable to open door/unlock door using key fob lock button, key fob door button, console door button, outside door handle, inside door handle. Cannot manually unlock door or unlock using any of the power unlock buttons in the car or on the fob. Door operates correctly right up until it doesn't with no warning. I have an handicapped passenger for this vehicle. He was not in the car, but could have been. Any person would be unable to exit the vehicle from the middle row passenger seat thru that door. If it was a carseat, another individual would have to climb in from another entry point and release the child. If it was my adult son with cerebral palsy, removing him from the vehicle would be arduous and impossible in an emergency situation. Given that passenger vans are often used for ADA persons, this is a serious safety issue and needs resolution.

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE 15 MILES OR SO, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO CUT OFF WHEN YOU HAVE TO COME TO A STOP. IT WILL START BACK UP, NUT CONTINUES TO GET WORST THE LONGER YOU DRIVE IT.

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.

THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE SLIDING DOORS. IF THE SAME ISSUE KEEPS HAPPENING WITH THESE DOORS, THEN THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE USERS. THE ISSUE IS IN THE MECHANISM OF THESE SLIDING DOORS.

Mileage: 105,000

THE SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS HAVING CHILDREN IN THERE CAR SEAT AND CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR TO GET THEM OUT. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE CAR GURUS SITE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY SAY DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, BUT WILL REPAIR IT FOR $$$$. I WAS IN A STORE PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO UNLOCK TO GET MY GRANDSON OUT. THE DOOR STILL WILL NOT UNLOCK.

Mileage: 13,000

WHEN HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON EITHER DOOR, THE RIGHT BACK SLIDING DOOR MAKES A LOUD BUZZING NOISE. IT MAKES THIS NOISE ANY TIME WE HIT UNLOCK.

Mileage: 77,000

SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVER SIDE IS NOT OPENING, WILL NOT EVEN UNLOCK. CONCERNED FOR KIDS SAFETY, BUT HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE

Mileage: 52,000

DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK MANUALLY OR WITH THE ELECTRONIC MECHANISM. THIS CAUSES THE DOOR TO NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN. THANK GOD THERE WAS NOT AN EMERGENCY THAT REQUIRED QUICK ACCESS TO MY 17 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AS I HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH THE OTHER DOOR TO GET HER OUT. THE DOOR OPENED PERFECTLY FINE TO PUT HER IN THE CAR. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I'M SEEING HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND THERE ARE STILL NO RECALLS. THIS COULD BE A DEADLY ISSUE. WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF???

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

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

PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WILL NOT FUNCTION (DOOR WILL NOT OPEN) THE OTHER PASSENGER WIRE HARNESS IS BROKEN AND WIRES ARE EXPOSED.

2016 GRAND CARAVAN R/T - DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCK IS STUCK. IT RESPONDS TO NOTHING. PRESSING THE DOME PANEL BUTTON DOES NOTHING. TRYING TO LOCK/UNLOCK WITH THE DRIVER'S LOCK BUTTON OR THE REMOTE DOES NOTHING. THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH MOVES, BUT HAS A "MUSHY" FEEL AND NEVER SEEMS TO ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE. I'VE TRIED PUSHING THE DOOR OPEN (OUT AND BACK) WITH AS MUCH FORCE AS IT SEEMS I CAN WITHOUT BREAKING SOMETHING. NOTHING. THE DOOR IS EFFECTIVELY LOCKED SHUT AND THE LOCK MECHANISM SEEMS TO HAVE FAILED. TO ME, THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN.

WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK ON 09.30.18 AND PARKED WE NOTICED OIL LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE VAN. WHEN WE TOOK THE VAN TO OUR MECHANIC, BECAUSE IT WAS OVER 36,000 MILES, 36,208 MILES TO BE EXACT, HE DISCOVERED A CRACKED OIL FILTER HOUSING. HE LET US KNOW THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM HE HAD REPAIRED ON SEVERAL OTHER VANS JUST LIKE OURS. WHEN HE CALLED A DEALERSHIP TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART HE WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS BACK-ORDERED BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WAS OUT OF STOCK. THEY HAD ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MULTIPLE OIL FILTER HOUSINGS AND COULDN'T KEEP THE PART IN STOCK. OUR MECHANIC CALLED ALL OVER WASHINGTON STATE AND GOT THE SAME ANSWER FROM EVERY DEALERSHIP. HE FINALLY WENT ONLINE AND FOUND A REPLACEMENT PART. MY VAN WENT INTO THE SHOP ON 10.01.18 AND IS STILL THERE. THE PART WON'T BE DELIVERED UNTIL 10.09.18 SO I WILL HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK. PLEASE START A CAMPAIGN/RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. OUR MECHANIC ALSO SAID THAT UNFORTUNATELY THE REPLACEMENT PART IS EXACTLY THE SAME PART AS WHAT IS ALREADY ON THE VEHICLE, A PLASTIC PLASTIC HOUSING, AND THAT WHEN HE REPLACES IT THERE IS A CHANCE THAT IT WILL CRACK AGAIN. WE NEED A REPLACEMENT FOR THIS PART THAT WILL NOT CRACK AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS IS A DIFFICULT PART TO REPLACE AS IT REQUIRE REMOVING THE MANIFOLD TO GET TO IT, CONSEQUENTLY IT WILL COST ME OVER $600.00 TO GET IT FIXED!!

Mileage: 36,208

I PUT THE VAN IN PARK. GOT OUT TO WALK AROUND AND GET A CAR SEAT & THE VAN STARTED MOVING IN REVERSE (BACK UP CAMERA WAS NOT ON) SO I KNOW I PUT IT IN PARK.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE RPM'S HAVE JUMPED UP TO 4 AND ALMOST 5, THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE A RACE CAR AND LITTLE MOVEMENT AND THEN QUICKLY LUNGES FORWARD, AT OTHER SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS SHIFTED AND YOU STILL HAVE NOT INCREASED IN SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THIS VECHILE OVER A WEEK AND THEY HAD NO PROBLEMS. ANOTHER DATE IT WAS DOING THIS WAS ON AN EXIT RAMP FROM THE INTERSTATE IN CREEPING, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. TAKEN STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP FROM THERE ACTING UP ALL THE WAY. VECHILE WAS NOT SHUT OFF WHEN REP FROM SERVICE DEPARTMENT WENT AS PASSENGER THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS.

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.
