2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

VEHICAL HAS A CODE FOR CYLANDER 4 MISFIRE. THIS CAUSES MY REMOTE START TO NOT WORK AND THE VEHICAL IS RUNNING ROUGH. NEW SPARK PLUGS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. FOR A TWO YEAR OLD VEHICAL IT SHOULD BE RELIABLE BUT I FIND MYSELF RELYING ON MY 88 S10 MORE THAN OUR TWO YEAR OLD VAN. READING UP ON THE 3.6L ENGINE I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE CYLINDER HEAD AS WITH MANY OTHER CARAVAN 3.6L BUT MY VINTAGE IS SOMEHOW NOT AFFECTED. I CAN RESET THE CODE AND DRIVE BUT AS SOON AS I PARK THE CODE COMES BACK

VAN ACCELERATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS AND WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 55 MILES PER HOUR. GAS PEDDLE SEEMED STUCK. A RED FLASHING LIGHTNING SIGN ILLUMINATED AND THEN WENT AWAY. THE VAN THEN STOPPED ACCELERATING. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP AND NOW LIGHTS ARE ON AT ALL. USER MANUAL STATES THAT IT IS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT.

OUR 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS LOCKED AND WON'T IPEN WITH ANY REMOTES, BUTTONS OR MANUALLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF WE NEED TO GET OUT THAT DOOR. I NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE STATING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH BACK TO 2014. THE OTHER CONSUMERS ENCOURAGE US TO REPORT. WE HAVE JUST HAD THAT SEAT STUCK AND WON'T STOW/ FIXED TO TUNE OF $800, SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT SAME PROBLEM AND SAME SIDE, REPLACED A BATTERY ON 2 YEAR OLD VAN!!?? DODGE NEEDS TO MAKE THIS ONE RIGHT- IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE!!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON IN MY DASH CAR STARTED BEEPING, RADIO CAME ON, WINDSHIELD WHIPPERS CAME ON AT HIGH SPEED, AC CAME ON, LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER VEHICLE OR BRAKE WITH MILEAGE SCREEN SWITCHING TO DIFFERENT OPTIONS WITHIN THAT SCREEN. CAR BEEN AT DEALER SINCE THE DAY AFTER STILL DO NOT HAVE VEHICLE BACK OR A DIAGNOSIS OF WHAT OR WHY VEHICLE WENT INTO THIS STATE.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, HEARD FLAPPING NOISE. PULLED OVER, OPENED PASSENGER DOOR, TRIM WAS HANGING OFF. TOOK IT OFF. FOUND OUT IT IS CALLED APPLIQUE/MOLDING/ TAPE DOOR PILLAR FRONT DOOR. WENT TO DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO YESTERDAY, WAS TOLD THAT EVEN WITH MAXIMUM CARE PLAN THIS TRIM WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED COSMETIC. THIS IS MY 3RD DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND THE SECOND ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR GOT STUCK IN A LOCKED AND CLOSED POSITION RENDERING THE DOOR UNABLE TO OPEN WHILE IN A STATIONARY POSITION (IN PARK). MECHANISM TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOOR STUCK IN THE MIDDLE POSITION UNABLE TO BE ENGAGED INTO EITHER A FIRM LOCKED OR LOCKED POSITION. PROBLEM IS SUSPECTED TO BE WITH THE DOOR ACTUATOR. PASSENGERS ARE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THIS DOOR CAUSING A POSSIBLE UNSAFE CONDITION DURING AN EMERGENCY.

THIS 2017 GRAND CARAVAN HAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ROCKER ARMS BECOMING LOOSE WHICH CAUSES A TICKING SOUND. THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH THE ENGINE SIZE AND IN DODGE PRODUCTS. I'M NOT MECHANIC BUT FAILING ROCKER ARMS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE!
