2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

THE ACTUATOR ON THE SLIDING BACK DOOR HAS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN, CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY TRAP ME OR MY FAMILY IN THE CAR DURING A FIRE OR WRECK. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR DOGE CARAVANS, YET DODGE REFUSES TO RECALL THESE FAULTY ACTUATORS. THE REPAIR RUNS UPWARDS OF $1000 TO $1500, NOT SOMETHING MANY PEOPLE CAN AFFORD. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT CONSUMERS SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SINCE DODGE IS KNOWINGLY INSTALLING FAULTY ACTUATORS. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE'S DEATH IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THEIR CAR DURING AN EMERGENCY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.

ARRIVING HOME FROM A DR. APPOINTMENT THE DOOR DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT QUICK WORKING COMPLETELY. THERE WAS/IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF OPENING THIS DOOR. THE PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT WAS A 92 YEAR OLD MAN WHO HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY EXITING IN AN ALTERNATIVE MANNER THROUGH THE DOOR BEHIND THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. FORTUNATELY IT ONLY CAUSED HIM PAIN AND DISCOMFORT FOR A FEW DAYS. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AND ACCIDENT / FIRE AND THE OCCUPANT IS UNABLE TO ESCAPE.

MY HUSBAND PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. HE PLACED THE CARAVAN IN PARK AND LEFT IT RUNNING. I HAD TO RUN INTO THE RESTAURANT TO GRAB THE PIZZA.

THERE WAS A PARKED CAR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT NO ONE WAS IN IT.

THE TEMP CONTROL PANEL TURNED ON BY ITSELF, I CAN SHUT IT OFF AND IT WILL COME BACK ON. I CAN TURN IT DOWN AND IT WILL TURN THE FAN ON FULL POWER AGAIN AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE A 3 MINUTE VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING ALL ON ITS OWN.

EACH AND EVERY TIME MY VEHICLE IS LOCKED OR UNLOCKED IT MAKES A HIGH PITCHED BUZZING SOUND. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN DOORS ARE OPENED AFTER THE DOORS HAVE BEEN LOCKED AS PART OF THE AUTOMATIC SECURITY WHEN IT HAS BEEN OPERATED OR WHEN THEY WERE LOCKED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY THE WHOLE TIME.
