2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT, SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH LIFT GATE WHEN OPENING WITH KEY FAUB; LIFT GATE OPENS AND IMMEDIATELY GOES DOWN (WHEN STATIONARY). IF NEEDING TO GET GROCERIES, OR ANYTHING FROM THE REAR OF VAN, NEED TO HAVE ONE PERSON HOLDING THE LIFT GATE, SO THE OTHER PERSON CAN REMOVE ITEMS FROM VAN, TO AVOID THE LIFTGATE CRASHING DOWN ON YOU (CAUSING INJURY AND INABILITY FOR VEHICLE TO FUNCTION SAFELY). ALSO, PROBLEM WITH LEFT SLIDING DOOR LOCK; DOES NOT LOCK AND UNLOCK WITH KEY FAUB; HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK, EVEN THOUGH THE REST OF THE DOORS LOCK/UNLOCK, WITH THE KEY FAUB. COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, PUT GROCERIES IN THE LEFT SIDE OF SLIDING DOOR AND THIS DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE, ELECTRONICALLY, OR MANUALLY. HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE RAIN WITH THE LEFT SIDE SLIDING DOOR, WIDE OPEN. BELIEVE THE HATCH LIFT SUPPORT PART FOR RIGHT AND LEFT NEED REPLACING, HOWEVER, THE LEFT SLIDING LOCK/UNLOCK FEATURE MAY. OR MAY NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IT LEAVES A CONSUMER TO GET A QUESTIONABLE DIAGNOSIS FROM DEALERS, OR MECHANICS, WHO SEE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO NFLATE THE PROBLEM WITH INACCURATE DIAGNOSIS AND OVERINFLATED CHARGES, TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A CONSUMER.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF AND LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BUT LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN AM TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND GET IT OUT OF THE ROAD BEFORE BEING HIT.

THE VEHICLE SURGES AND MAKES A RATTLING SOUD WHEN EXCELLING. FEELS LIKE IT'S LOSING POWER. IT DELAYS STARTING WHEN THE IGNITION IS ON. THE SUSPENSION FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO SNAP. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER.

THE 4WD SVC LIGHT WILL COME ON AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. SOMETIMES IT WILL BE SHIFTING INTO 4X4 ON IT'S ON AND WHEN I MAKE A TURN, I CAN FEEL THE 4X4 WORKING WITHOUT EVER PHYSICALLY TURNING IT ON. OTHER TIMES, I CAN HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR MAKING NOISE FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR OR PRESS THE KEY FOB BUTTON. I PULLED A TROUBLE CODE OF C1404. FURTHER RESEARCH OF THIS CODE AND ISSUE RESULTS IN OVER 500 COMPLAINTS ONLINE. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. THIS JUST STARTED ON MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO ON 01/11/2021
