Lock actuator on passenger side sliding door broke. Can not open door. This is a known problem on the Dodge Caravans. Although I have a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, the Dodge hotline said my vin # is not included. But yet lock actuator is broken. There has been a service advisor issued just not for my vin #.

1. The engine failed, and the engine light came on. It is available for inspection upon request. 2. It started shaking, slowing down, and it felt like it was going to stall, therefore, putting myself and others at risk. To this day, once in awhile I continue to feel it shake. 3. I've spoken to a mechanic about it, and he knew of this issue. He gave me information about it and referred me to the manufacturer. No others have inspected it. 4. The Dept of Motor Vehicles, and it failed inspection today on 7/2/22. 5. Check engine light appeared when the problem first started. They first appeared back around November 2021. Note: The spark plugs and coils were replaced 3 times in an effort to resolve this issue, and after that I found out that there was an issue reported with this back in 2011-2013 and is still occurring even though the company has stated that they fixed the problem according to my research.

Drivers side rear door wouldn't open by using buttons on key fob, buttons in vehicle or by manually opening it. The door unable to be opened. I had to take it to the dealer.

Two days after getting the vehicle inspected prior to a long road trip; the check engine light came on. Apparently, Dodge Vans commonly have a cylinder two misfire.My online research indicates this is an expensive repair and isn’t covered under warranty. We have 89k miles.

Our 2017 back sliding doors won’t open we had to get people out by the front passenger door. It will not open manually. This was very scary! Especially when the kids are freaking out.
