2015 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

trans axle oil pump failure. transmission failed while in traffic. van would not move in forward or reverse. the problem was diagnosed by a dealer and found to be failure of the trans axle oil pump. transmission was replaced

Passenger side sliding door suddenly stopped opening. It will not unlock using the remote, car door buttons, or manually. This presents a safety issue for back seat passengers. If the other door fails, the will be unable to exit the vehicle without climbing over the seats to use the front door. This could be deadly in an emergency. There was no warning, it simply stopped working. In my research, I came across many other Dodge Caravan owners who complain of the same issue. Repair prices have been quoted $1000-1500.

The lock on the passenger sliding door has stopped locking the door. When all the other doors are locked the door will still open. The lock also cannot be engaged manually the lock is stuck in the unlocked position. The driver side sliding door has started to make a buzzing sound when the locks are engaged. I think this indicates that the actuator on the driver side door may also be starting to fail.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. The VIN was not available.

The front head rests contain a safety device that extends the head rest to support the head during a crash. We were unaware of this feature until the passenger head rest burst over a year ago. That was reported in a seperate incident report. We are still waiting for Dodge to repair the passenger head rest. Within the past couple weeks, the driver head rest burst open, while we were not in the vehicle. We did not notice the head rest was burst until my wife saw it from the side when I was driving it. She normally drives the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated while his wife was driving 40 mph, the vehicle started to hesitate. The contact stated that the powertrain control P0470 code was displayed. The driver was able to continue driving to her residence. The contact made the local dealer aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V461000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,289.

Sliding doors have stopped working. Doors are stuck in locked position. Cannot open even manually. Happened first on passenger side now on drivers side.

Got results back from the dealer on my grand caravan transmission pump. He said pump failed and burned up transmission. Now I need to replace the whole transmission thanks to dodge not covering all these vehicles with bad transmission pumps! This recall S44 should of been expanded to cover all vehicles from 2015 to2017 since I see a lot of people on the internet have the same problem and complaints. Dodge should be held liable for all these vehicles that need a new transmission due to the faulty pump!! Not just a select few that they deemed worthy of the recall! They cheated the people by not covering all these bad pumps!! Let’s hold them accountable for it!!

The passenger driver-side slide door is permanently lock and will not unlock. Door will not slide open at all. I believe the manufacture door lock actuator is the problem. The vehicle's ODM only have 36,000 miles on the it. Since the door can't be open, it is a safety issue for any passengers riding in the car. Safety issues that will put my two kids at risk since the passenger door can't be open when there is an emergency to exit the car. My two kids are the passengers in the van. As of now, I don't have the money necessary to take it to a mechanic to fix it. However, I search on the internet and found out a lot of other car owners with the same model Dodge Caravan are having the same issues with door being lock permanently. The problem just occurred without any warning. It happen about 2 months ago without any warning and the slide door will not slide open again. Please help us get the manufacturer to fix this problem. I saw today that NHTSA might be looking into this issue so that why I finally file this complain. You can email me with any questions at [XXX]. Thank you.
