2015 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT STARTED REVING THE RPMS, MAKING A HUMMING NOISE , AND WOULDN'T MOVE.. TRANSMISSION LIGHT ON

FAULTY ACTUATOR, DOORS MAKE A SOUND WHEN UNLOCKING AND NOW RESULTING IN ONE DOOR NOT OPENING. THE NOISE HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME (PARK OR GOING) JUST THE UNLOCK BUTTON HAS TO BE PRESSED.

WHILE DRIVING MY VAN, THE RPM'S WOULD INCREASE, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER, TRIED TO PUT THE VAN IN PARK, THE ENGINE SHIFTED EXTREMELY ROUGH BEFORE GOING INTO PARK. THE AUTO BODY SHOP IS QUOTING ME FOR OVER $5,000.00 TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADREST EXPLODED INADVERTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THERE WAS NO INJURY SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,788.

THE TRANSMISSION OF THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2015. I CHECKED THE RECALL AND THE MANUFACTURER ONLY RECALLS THE ONES PRODUCED FROM 08/2015 TO 2016. MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN 02/0215 SO IT WAS NOT RECALLED. THE TRANSMISSION KEPT GETTING PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR AND SHIFT. IT ALSO GAVE A CODE FOR P0740 TCC WHILE IT IS JUST 80,000+ MILES. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR 4 MONTHS AND THE CAR HEATED UP PRETTY BAD WITH BAD SMELL AND SHAKING WHEN SPEEDING UP. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID DODGE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION PUMP THAT FEEDS THE TORQUE CONVERTER, AND ALSO CAUSE FAIL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. THIS COULD BE THE REASON FOR THE DAMAGE OF MY TORQUE CONVERTER. I DON'T KNOW WHERE AND HOW I SHOULD REPORT THIS TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME WITH W VEHICLE JUST TURNED 80,000 MILES AND HAS A FAILED TRANSMISSION AND CAUSES SHAKING MOVEMENT WHEN SPEEDING UP WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS WHEN I DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY. PLEASE CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER TO DISCUSS FOR RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES AS WELL ON TRANSMISSION. THEY ONLY DO THE ONES PRODUCED AFTER AUGUST, 2015 WHICH DOES NOT COVER ENOUGH VEHICLES. MY CAR HAS THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (BUILT ON 02/2015). I ALSO NOTICE A LOT OF OTHER 2015 GRAND CARAVANS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

DOORS MAKE A LOUD BUZZING SOUND WHEN LOCKING OR UNLOCKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. WAS ADVISED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT.

I WAS SITTING IN MY PARKED CAR, ENGINE OFF, WAITING FOR SOMEONE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST POPPED OPEN SUDDENLY. I CANNOT PUT IT BACK IN POSITION BECAUSE THE PLASTIC TABS INSIDE ARE BROKEN. I AM THANKFUL I WAS LEANING FORWARD READING A BOOK AND THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PAINFUL AND/OR DANGEROUS.
