Driver side sliding door does not latch under normal use. It will constantly cycle through opening and closing to no end. This will happen when driving which is a major safety issue. I found the following workaround (which is an unreasonable daily activity for a family): 1. Park Car 2. Turn on Child Lock 3. Put Key in Accessory 4. With Drivers Window Down, and all doors closed except the Drivers Sliding door, press lock button on the door panel. 5. Close Drivers Side Sliding Door 6. NEVER let people in/out the defective door or will have to repeat the above steps. I received a letter from Fiat Chrysler identifying issues with the Power Lock Actuator, however it does not address the Door Latch. In my case the Passenger Door Power Lock Actuator was defective and replaced under a new extended warranty, but not the Latch.

The passenger side door lock actuator has failed to work with any button from either the remote or the car controls. I am still able to lock it manually, but it is a major safety issue and a costly repair. The driver side lock works fine, but passenger was intermittently working, yet has failed recently.

compression problem in the cylinder on an engine with only 60,000 miles. The vehicle is just out of the 5 year warranty so it is a costly fix for a relatively new engine.

Transmission failure, low pressure/ fluid pump failure. The car will lurch and speed forward when the gear engages increasing accident risk. The problem was discovered on 2016 Dodge caravan models but not specifically to my VIN. It appears the problem extends to more cars produced that year than was originally discovered. The car has only been inspected by a local mechanic, not a dealer. No prior warnings signs were present. I feel that my local Dodge dealer should inspect and repair the defect as per the previously declared Recall for other Dodge Caravans from 2016. My vehicle should not be exempt.
