2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

The passenger side head rest "deployed" while sitting still at the gas pump. My great niece was reclined and when she raised the seat back up, it popped out and hit her in the back of the head.

Hood latch bolts fell out while driving and the hood flew up and broke the windshield. I was going down a hwy 60mph raining at night.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the contact detected an abnormal winding sound from either the transmission or the engine. After the vehicle warmed up, the sound diminished. The contact called the local dealer who recommended an engine replacement. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V461000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was informed there were no open recalls on the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

On the freeway the vehicle started jerking, having delayed acceleration, making it unable to safely drive. I pulled off the road immediately before an accident was caused.

Passenger side sliding door, erratic actuator which eventually fails and door will not open.

both of my side sliding door won't open, unlock or lock. This puts family in me at risk in case of a accident or something we wouldn't be able to get. Out of nowhere they just stop working first one door gave out and now the other and I been searching not the only one with this issue.

Passenger sliding doors will not open. In december 2021 Dodge dealership seemingly fixed issue. It is now 2023 and the doors will not open again. This is very dangerous as I have two small children. The costs for these repairs were very expensive and unfortunately hasn't even lasted 2 years. I now have to pay out of pocket thousands for an issue that is completely mechanical and dealer issue.

I was loading my dog into the driver's side door of my Grand Caravan when I heard a pop next to my head. When I started looking around I discovered that my driver's seat headrest had split apart. I was seconds away from driving. This just happened this morning before work so I have not had a chance to take it to a dealership. There were no warning lights prior to this event.

The passenger side sliding door lock actuator seized, forcing the door to be stuck closed in a locked position. I tried unlocking via the key fob, the door power lock controls, and manually unlocking the lever on the door. None worked. If I had gotten into an accident or had another emergency when this failed, I would not have been able to get the door open to get my toddler out of his car seat. When I looked online, I saw that this was a common issue, but no recall has been issued.

Transmission started whining and lost power getting stuck in a high rev. Car had no power to wheels and then engaged while still at high rev almost causing accident. Chrysler has recall s44 for this issue but claims does not apply to my van. Damaged transmission pump.
