2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION BROKE AT LESS THEN 100 THOUSAND MILES. HAS 2 CODES AND 5 PENDING.

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED IN MY 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT RETAIN THE METAL LOCK BAR (NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS CALLED) BROKE. THIS CANNOT BE DISENGAGED AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK MY VAN. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO RECALLS ARE IN PLACE FOR THIS. THIS IS INSANELY DANGEROUS.

WHILE PARKED, MY DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED. UPON INSPECTION, THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE BAR HAD BROKEN.

ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT A CRASH. PLASTIC RETAINING SLOTS BROKEN. CAR WAS NOT MOVING. THIS IS THE SECOND ONE TO BREAK LIKE THIS AND I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT HAVING TO PAY ANOTHER $900 FOR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW

I PURCHASED A 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH APPROXIMATELY 60000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAD ONE OWNER BEFORE ME. AT AROUND 64,000 MILES, MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT COMES ON AND GOES OFF WHEN I HIT BUMPS, APPLY BRAKES, OR ACCELERATE AND SOMETIMES WHEN MAKING TURNS. ALSO WAS THE THIRD OWNER OF A 2002 MODEL CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY THAT HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM DO TO A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING. NOW HAVE A 2014 GRAND CARAVAN WITH WAY LOWER MILES AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER GROUP. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE 2014 GRAND CARAVAN FROM AND TOLD THEM THE SITUATION AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF THERE 90 DAY WARRANTY WHICH LED ME INTO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED FOR THE VEHICLE WHICH CHARGES A DEDUCTIBLE OF $250. DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING AS THIS COULD BE A DIFFERENT PART FAILURE. HOWEVER CHECKING THE PRICES, A CLOCK SPRING FOR A 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN JUST FOR PARTS COST AROUND $300 PLUS TAX. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A $15,000 VEHICLE THAT COULD KILL ME IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH DUE TO A FAULTY AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT HAS A POSSIBLY FAILING PART FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS MADE BY DODGE AND CHRYSLER GROUP AND HAS SOMEHOW NEVER BEEN RECALLED. THE ONLY RECALL THAT HAS BEEN MADE WITH THIS VAN WAS THE VENT WINDOW SWITCH WHICH WAS REPLACED. ALSO GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL REGARDING A WARRANTY EXTENSION ON A HEADREST RESTRAINT HOWEVER THIS WAS NOT A RECALL. BASED ON A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CLOCK SPRINGS ESPECIALLY MADE BY DODGE AND CHRYSLER GROUP I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT DODGE HAS BEEN MAKING FAULTY CLOCK SPRINGS FROM 2002 ALL THE WAY UP TO 2014 AND POSSIBLY STILL DOES AS OF 2021. I WONDER HOW MANY DODGE GRAND CARAVANS / CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRYS OVER 60K-100K MILES CHANCES ARE YOUR AIRBAG LIGHT MIGHT BE COMING ON AND TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET. PROBLEM MAY COME BACK.

THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF. THE DEALER REPLACED A COMPUTER CHIP, BUT THE ENGINE STILL SHUTS OFF. IT FIRST HAPPENED IN MAY 2020. IT SHUTS OFF ABOUT EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. IT HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTED, WHEN ACCERATING, WHEN SLOWING DOWN, AND/OR WHEN STOPPING. IT'S ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND THE AIR BAG STAYS ON I WAS DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON

WHENEVER THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR UNLOCKS, THE ACTUATOR MAKES A LOUD BUZZING SOUNDS THAT IS HEARD BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE.
