2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

ONE DAY, I FOUND MY DRIVERS SEAT HEAD REST HAD COME OPENED. WHEN LOOKING TO SEE WHAT CAUSED THIS, IT SAID THAT YOU WERE REAR ENDED? I WAS NOT REAR ENDED! NOW MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON? I HAD ASK A DODGE DEALER ABOUT IT , AND HE SAID THAT IT WOULD COST A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX IT? WHEN READING ABOUT THE RECALLS ON IT, I READ WHERE THE CLIPS ARE BREAKING. MAKING THE HEAD REST TO COME OPEN, AND THE AIR BAGS NOT WORKING? PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEMS? I DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS MY FAULT?

HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO A TRANNY SHOP THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TIPM. I CALLED LOCAL DODGE STORE AND THEY SAID IT COST $965 NEW AND IT IS BACK ORDERED. DODGE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS WITH THEIR TIPM'S AND THIS SHOULD OF BEEN RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO. VEHICLE STALLS AT ALL SPEEDS AND COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM OR DEATH. *TR

THE SAFETY HEADREST DEPLOYED IN OUR 2013 GRAND CARAVAN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN USE, STATIONARY AND PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, NOR WAS IT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IN LOOKING AT THE HISTORY OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. SUCH OCCURRENCES ARE DANGEROUS AND NOT SURE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED ALREADY?

FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS THE VAN JUST TURNS OFF WHILE WE ARE DRIVING IT. COMPLETELY TURNS OFF- WE COULD BE DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET OR GOING 75 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. IT'S TERRIFYING. WE'VE TRIED TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND FIXED BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THE CODES WHEN THE MECHANIC CHECKS IT. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY HAZARD.

REAR DRIVERS SLIDING DOOR BUZZES AND REMAINS IN A LOCKED POSITION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN USING THE FOB TOO. THE VAN AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS WHEN YOU REACH ABOUT 25 MPH. MOST OF THE TIME I GET A LOUD BUZZING FROM THAT DOOR WHEN IT DOES. SOMETIMES YOU CAN MANUALLY UNLOCK IT BUT MOST TIMES NOT. I HAVE READ MORE PEOPLE THAN ME ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH A RANGE OF YEARS FOR THE DODGE CARAVAN. I HAVE MY GRANDSON WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME AND THAT IS THE SEAT HE IS IN. MY CONCERN IS IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOOR CAN BE UNLOCKED THEN WHAT? I TRULY THERE IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE GOING ON WITH THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.
