2019 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Grand Caravan. The contact stated that the vehicle inadvertently downshifted and hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal without warning. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer and the torque converter was replaced twice and the transmission software was updated; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

I brought . my car to the dealership and they told me the airbags had an active code in the harness wiring in the driver's seat and wanted 1000 dollars to repair or rebuild the harness. They didn't have a replacement harness available and said the part did not exist so they would have to custom build one. They said it was not under warranty because I have48,000 miles on my car. I can not believe that a safety issue involving the airbag operation would not be covered by the manufaturer. I really need help

While driving vehicle it began to made a horrible noise and then stalled in the middle of the road while driving. Was able to restart and move out of the way but stalled again. Car would no longer move into drive. No warning lights came on until after the car stalled for the second time. Then the check engine light came on. Previous to this occurrence the car was running perfectly fine and gave no warnings that the transmission was going out. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic where they stated the transmission blew. Upon finding this out vehicle was towed to a dodge dealership where we were informed warranty was expired. Vehicle only has 73,000 miles on it.

The power rear door on the passenger side is stuck in the closed position. Can not be manually opened or opened with the button. It can not be unlocked. This is an issue in an accident. This makes it increasingly difficult for passengers to get out of the vehicle in an emergency. This has been a problem ever since Dodge introduced the power sliding doors on their vans.

Transmission failed while driving on the highway without prior warning and the vehicle had to be towed home. The vehicle had limited power left to pull off the highway for safety though. What I hear when I start and rev the engine a bit is high pitched whining noise and noise of separated or lose components coming from inside the transmission. Research has shown me that this same drive train has been running in Chrysler and Dodge vehicles for about ten years now and has seen recalls on the transmission for some earlier model years like 2015, 2016, … . This is a big safety issue given that this vehicle seats seven people (families rely on this van for transportation) and therefore Chrysler should add this vehicle drive train to the recall list ASAP. After failing the the check engine light popped up and running it on the generic scan tool code P083B showed up.

Rough idling. Misfire. I've changed the sparkplugs twice already, the Wiring harness, Injectors, purge valve, etc.

my car was towed away from my parking space and given to a dodge dealer, i coulndt figure out where it was, i finally found where it was , the guy who took it in was already doing repairs and investigating with out, knowing whose car is it, he goes and does a repair not being on what we talked about and does his repair, then he tells me i payy up 1,400 for the repairs he did, before he repaired it i asked him to check the fluids makes sure everything is good and ready so i wont be left in the road stranded, i come back 2 day later cause i take my car for a drive, for 15 mins and head to the same dealer cause oil pressure light and battery light and oil light was on and the person who serviced me saw this when i took it in, before i asked him to check if everything with fluids is up to date, when he first was repairing it and didnt know what was wrong with it, so then i meet him and he says well we cant repair it because we dont know what could it be and the car needs more driving for it to see whats wrong with it, and or you can try coming with warranty, then my car breaks down after i leave the shop test driving it for 15 mins cause he advised me to drive it or get warranty,, instead of checking it for inspection. then iam left stranded in the road cause of this situation. i take the car back to the same dealer for repair and they say its the battery and starter, and now they saying pay it in this amount of time or my car will be towed away,.all that waste of money in repairs and me coming back and back, for me to have to pick up my car at a tow yard, cause they didnt want to take it in when i had my 2nd visit they, now my car is sitting in my car, i am still financing it , for a car that doesnt drive. and when i call a local mechanic he says my engine is blown up. and its not the battery and starter..i was young and it felt like i was being robbed.

DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN. MANUAL LOCK/UNLOCK LEVER ON DOOR IS STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE IF THERE ARE REAR PASSENGERS THAT NEED TO EXIT IN A CRASH OR OTHER EMERGENCY. THIS VAN SEATS 4 REAR PASSENGERS AND HAVING BOTH DOORS AVAILABLE CAN BE CRITICAL. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THROUGH RESEARCH I FOUND IT POINTS TO A SEIZED DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK ACTUATOR. THERE HAVE BEEN PRIOR NHTSA ACTIONS ON 2015-2017 DODGE AND CHRYSLER MINIVANS RESULTING IN CHRYSLER EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THIS ISSUE. MY VAN USES THE EXACT SAME ACTUATORS AS THE EARLIER VANS. I AM FEARFUL THAT THE OTHER DOOR ACTUATOR MAY FAIL WITHOUR WITHOUT WARNING, RENDERING MY VEHICLE USELESS FOR TRANSPORTING PASSENGERS.

The lock actuator on the driver's side sliding door has seized in the lock position in our Grand Caravan. Using the fob, the switches in the vehicle, and the mechanical levers on the door, we are unable to unlock or open the door. Researching this problem, I see that it is common in 5th generation Grand Caravans and Town and Countries and plagues both sliding doors, creating a safety hazard: in the event of an emergency, if both actuators were to have seized since passengers entered the car, it would make exiting the car slow to impossible, and therefore hazardous. I have heard from a mechanic that Dodge/Chrysler is aware of the issue. There is, to this point, no recall or safety bulletin, and apparently nothing is being done about it, and that needs to change. To this point, our vehicle has not been officially inspected, though all of the symptoms are exactly as can be found in the various reports on the internet. There were no warnings that the part was going to fail/seize.

My transmission turbo converter is going out and it’s not even at 80,000 miles. Along with my doors don’t fully shut on automatic shut. No crash or danger yet but being told it could put me and my family in a potential dangerous situation especially on the highway
