2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

Driver’s side sliding door is stuck shut and will not unlock with key FOB, the unlock buttons on the passenger and driver side doors, and also will not unlock manually. Tried opening the door with automatically with key FOB button, the button located by the rearview mirror, and also opening it manually from the inside and outside, but door does not open. It was functioning properly the day before, and there were no warning signs ahead of time that there was going to be an issue with the locking mechanism. Safety concern since this could potentially happen to the other sliding door, and if in an emergency back passengers have no immediate access to an exit.

The rear sliding door on the driver side is stuck in the locked position and cannot be opened either manually or electronically.

There is a loud buzzing sound coming from the passenger sliding door whenever the vehicle is locked or unlocked. Door actuator is failing.

I have a 2017 vehicle with approximately 75,000 miles. The cylinder head on cylinder 2 is faulty and needs to be replaced. This is approximately a $3000 fix that is being repaired right now. My mechanic told me that this part and/or previous generations of this vehicle have been recalled due to faulty parts. They also encouraged me to file this complaint.

The contact attempted to manually unlock the door but the door failed to open. The local dealer was contacted and informed the contact that there would be an out-of-pocket cost to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacture was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

I was sitting in my van, with it running at Sonic, and i started smelling a terrible smell. I thought the smell was coming form outside so I rolled up the windows and the van started filling up with smoke. My daughter looked at the back seat and noticed the back charger, USB, 12 volt area was the source of smoke and we got out immediately, saw that it was on fire from the inside, it could be seen through the charger, the usb ports, and the 12 volt plug because there was nothing plugged in. My daughter threw a pop on it to put it out and we called my husband to come help us. He pulled the cover off and all of the wires were melted all of the way down the inside of the panel. I have seen recalls for previous year models for this same type of occurrence, but not for this year model. I am thankful my other children and grandson were not in the car in the backseats where the fire started. This area is on the gas tank side as well and that was a scary thought as i was supposed to travel tomorrow in this van.

The drivers side rear passenger sliding door is stuck in lock mode. The locking mechanism is stuck shut and cannot be unlocked either manually or with the remote unlock button. Therefore the door is stuck closed and can not open. It’s dangerous that any backseat passenger cannot exit the vehicle through that door if they need to. Also, the passenger side door does not lock or unlock with the remote; it only locks and unlocks when the locking mechanism on the door is pushed manually. When the alarm is turned on with the remote, pulling this door open manually sets off the alarm when the door is pulled open. There were no warning lights or indicators set off prior to these issues. These issues manifested in September 2020.
