2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

Passenger side rear door is making a buzzing noise! will cost over $500 to fix. After researching multiple other van owners are having this same issue this should be recalled this vehicle is only 6 years old !!

Passenger side rear siding door will no longer open manually, using the button on fob or using the open door button at the top near the overhead console. This poses a safety issue not allowing passengers to exit the vehicle as the door will not even open manually. Appears to be in lock position and will not move.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked and unoccupied, the front driver's side headrest deployed inadvertently. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

Door actuators buzzing everytime it locks and unlocks. Apparently there's a lot of people complaining about this. Why isn't there a recall? It's really really loud.

The driver side rear door failed to unlock and open and is available for inspection. This happened about two weeks ago 04/12/2022. When this started, my grandson was unable to get out that door, but fortunately, the other door opened fine. If there was an accident, and the other door got damaged, passengers would be unable to exit without climbing to the front of the van or out the backdoor. I noticed if I manually assisted the unlock process, it would open. Currently it's working but when the door locks either manually or with the automatic locks, it makes a loud buzzing sound. That is very concerning and sounds like it's about to fail. The passenger side door failed last September 2021 to lock and could not be locked manually. We were able to get the repair done under our extended warrantee. The serious problem with the door not locking was you could open the door while the car was moving.

Loud whining sound from the front engine area when accelerating. Vehicle started to sputter. I pulled over and when trying to reposition the vehicle, it did not want to move in the drive or reverse gears.

The rear driver's side door is stuck closed in the lock position. We can't open it at all, even from the outside. This is a major safety issue. Our other door has a very loud buzzing sound when unlocking, so I'm sure we're about to not have any working rear doors at all.

The passenger side sliding door had a loud buzzing sound when unlocked and now will not unlock or open

The left side passenger door stopped working and is stuck in the lock position. It will not unlock even manually. At first I assumed this was just something with my van but after checking online I now see this is a massive problem that has affected many people. This issue is a huge safety problem as someone will not be able to exit the van in an emergency. People have said they have complained to both Dodge and the NHTSB for years and no recall has been issued. How is that possible when the problem is so widespread? Do people have to actually die before a recall is finally ordered? Please do what you can to get this problem solved before something bad happens. I’m already prepared to pay to get this fixed but it seems to me Dodge needs to be forced to do something about it.
