2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

AIRBAGS LIGHTS KEEP GOING ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT DURING MOVING AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP.

THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2013 HAS 147,631 MILES ON IT, AND WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS IT OCCASIONALLY TOOK 3-7 SECONDS TO START THE ENGINE. THEN THE FUSE/RELAY SHORTED OUT FOR THE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY ELECTRICAL FUSE BOX, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO BURN OUT. A NEW FUEL PUMP WAS INSTALLED INTO THE GAS TANK, AND A DODGE FACTORY PART CALLED AN EXTERNAL WIRE KIT WAS HARD-WIRED INTO THE WIRES FOR THE FUEL PUMP SO THAT IT COULD BYPASS THE PERMANENTLY BURNT-OUT FUEL PUMP FUSE/RELAY PART OF THE FUSE BOX.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK CLOSED AND IN THE LOCKED POSITION. I CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOOR IN ANYWAY POSSIBLE NOT THE REMOTE, OVER HEAD BUTTON, DRIVER'S DOOR BUTTON OR MANUALLY WITH MY FINGER. I HAVE FIVE CHILDREN AND I FEEL THIS IS A COMPLETE SAFETY HAZZARD I HAVE SEARCHED THE WEB FOR DIY INFO AND FOUND AT LEAST 60 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL WITH THE RISK OF CHILDREN BEING STUCK IN THE VEHICLE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS FAULTY

DRIVER'S SIDE ACTIVE-RESTRAINT HEADREST DEPLOYED (POPPED OPEN) WHILE CAR WAS AT REST WITH ENGINE OFF. INTERNAL INSPECTION SHOWED BROKEN PLASTIC INSIDE HEADREST. CAR WAS STATIONARY; ENGINE WAS OFF WHEN ACTIVE-RESTRAINT HEADREST DEPLOYED. DEALER SAID COST TO REPLACE WAS APPROXIMATELY $900. RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE ON OTHER MAKES/MODELS BY CHRYSLER/DODGE. APPARENTLY NOT FOR 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN (YET).

WITHIN 500 MILES OF OWNING THIS BRAND NEW, IT STARTED HAVING TROUBLE STARTING. LONG STORY SHORT, WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. FAST FORWARD TO APPROXIMATELY 105,000 MILES IT'S HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS BUT WON'T START AT ALL NOW. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED RECALL V62 FOR DURANGO'S AND CHEROKEE'S WITH THE SAME TIPM AND ENGINE AS A GRAND CARAVAN BUT DIDN'T INCLUDE IT IN THE RECALL. APPROXIMATE COST OF REPAIR IS $1350 AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS. LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE PART!!!
