2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EXCEED 30 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (23 N US-12, FOX LAKE, IL 60020) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. *LN*JB

THE FRONT LOCKS FOR FOR THE TWO FRONT DOORS DOES NOT LOCK PROPERLY. THE LATCHING LOCK MECHANISM DOES NOT ENGAGE. THE ALARM WILL SET AND GO OFF IF EITHER OF THE DOORS IS OPENED BUT THEY ARE NOT LOCKED. WHEN DRIVING AND THE SPEED GOES OVER 25MPH THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS DO NOT ENGAGE AND LOCK THE VEHICLE. I WILL INVESTIGATE FURTHER TO SEE IF THERE IS A PART IN NEED OF REPLACING.

SLIDING DOOR LOCKS AND WON'T OPEN OR UNLOCK. DOORS ARE AUTOMATIC DOORS. DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY. *TR

MY REAR DOOR MAKES A LOUD BUZZ WHEN I UNLOCK IT AND APPARENTLY IT IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE IN THE CARAVAN AND WON'T OPEN FROM THE AUTOMATIC BUTTONS.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS STRUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION. ONCE CLOSED IT IS UNABLE TO OPEN. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN IT WITH THE FOB OR INSIDE UNLOCK BUTTON. *TR

SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK AND THEREFORE WILL NOT OPEN. NOTHING HAPPENED, JUST STOPPED WORKING. CANNOT UNLOCK IT USING ANY OF THE BUTTONS AND CANNOT MANUALLY UNLOCK IT. VAN IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE DOOR OR VAN. MAY CREATE UNSAFE SITUATION IF UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THAT DAMAGES OTHER DOORS. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WAS STUCK SHUT IN THE LOCKED POSITION FOR 3 MONTHS. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME ALMOST $1000 TO BASICALLY REPLACE MOST OF THE DOOR, THIS DIAGNOSIS WAS DONE WHILE DOOR WAS STUCK SHUT. I FINALLY GOT IT OPEN BY PUSHING ON THE UNLOCK BUTTON AND PRESSING THE KEY FAB UNLOCK AT THE SAME TIME (SOMETHING I READ ON THE INTERNET). NOW IT OPENS AND CLOSES, BUT MAKES A BUZZING, CRUNCHING SOUND WHEN THE AUTO LOCK KICKS IN WHEN DRIVING, AND PERIODICALLY MAKES THE NOISE FOR NO REASON. ONLY BEEN 2 DAYS SINCE IT WOULD OPEN AND WAITING FOR IT TO BECOME STUCK OR ANOTHER ISSUE. SURE IS LOUD.

THE PASSENGER REAR SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION, CANNOT MANUALLY UNLOCK, AND WILL NOT OPEN. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED IN THE PARK POSITION AND COULD NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

THE PASSENGER DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. IT IS POWER IT WILL NOT OPEN WITH ANY OF THE BUTTON IT WILL ALSO NOT OPEN MANUALLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IF I WAS IN A ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING AND NEEDED TO GET THAT DOOR OPEN I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR. IF THE OTHER DOOR BREAKS I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE MY CAR AT ALL. I'M EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT NEEDED THAT DOOR AND NOT BEING ABLE TO AND SOMETHING HAPPENING TO MY CHILDREN. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF LUCK AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO GET FIXED MY SELF. I WOULD NEED TO FIRST PAY FOR THE DEALER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS AND PAY AROUND 1,000 DOLLARS FOR IT TO BE FIXED. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS HAPPENED TO VANS. PLEASE HELP WITH PROBLEM MANY FAMILIES IN DANGER WITH THESE DOOR NOT OPENING AT ALL. I'M TERRIFIED FOR MY CHILDREN WITH THIS DOOR NOT OPENING AT ALL. *TR

MY AC WENT OUT ONLY IN THE FRONT 1/3 OF THE VAN ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND STARTED TO HAVE A SLIGHT BUZZING SOUND UNDER MY DASH A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN ANY ELECTRICAL DEVICE IS PLUGGED INTO AN OUTLET OR THE AC IS TURNED ON. *TR
