Driver rear sliding door stuck in lock position causing a major safety hazard for rear passengers in van. Door will not unlock or open using all unlocking options. Called repair shop and they said this is a common problem with Dodge Caravans. Taking it in for repair soon. I will be getting rid of this vehicle because of this issue in the near future.

THE REVERSE IN THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 119,000 MILES AND LEFT MY FAMILY STRANDED. I CURRENTLY HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 WEEKS NOW AS IT HAS BEEN SITTING AT A DEALERS LOT.

The door lock on the sliding door on the driver's side is stuck in the lock position. The door will not open and no amount of force will unlock it. A simple search online shows many customers dealing with the same issue. Clearly this is a safety concern. My dealership has diagnosed and the cost is over $1000.

Passenger side rear sliding door stuck in locked position. Unable to open door/unlock door using key fob lock button, key fob door button, console door button, outside door handle, inside door handle. Cannot manually unlock door or unlock using any of the power unlock buttons in the car or on the fob. Door operates correctly right up until it doesn't with no warning. I have an handicapped passenger for this vehicle. He was not in the car, but could have been. Any person would be unable to exit the vehicle from the middle row passenger seat thru that door. If it was a carseat, another individual would have to climb in from another entry point and release the child. If it was my adult son with cerebral palsy, removing him from the vehicle would be arduous and impossible in an emergency situation. Given that passenger vans are often used for ADA persons, this is a serious safety issue and needs resolution.

Its a known common problem for the automatic doors to stop working. My driver side back door has stopped working and now is stuck shut where I cannot open. This is a huge safety issue since all exits fo not work and if I was in an accident and needed to get my kids out and that was th only door I was able to use then we would end up dead or in serious condition. This is a very expensive fix and from all the reviews I have read this is a very common problem!!!!
