2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

I OWN A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LANDMARK DODGE IN INDEPENDENCE, MO AND THE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED LOCK ACTUATOR WITH ESTIMATED COST OF $1,000. THE SAME VEHICLE HAD THE LOCK ACTUATOR FAIL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE 2 YEARS AGO AND HAD IT FIXED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCK ACTUATORS FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO GET MY 4 KIDS OUT OF THE BACK SEAT USING ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, AND THAT IS ASSUMING THE ACCIDENT DIDN'T DAMAGE THE PASSENGER DOOR. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL, THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES.

THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE JUST QUIT OPENING ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, LAST WEEK THE TRANSMISSION HAS WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE HOME AND WHEN I PUT THE VAN IN DRIVE IT PULLED OFF AND WHEN I GOT UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT AND THE RPM'S WAS GOING UP THE VAN WOULDN'T SHIFT. I SENT IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY JUST CALLED ME SAYING THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY GONE AND I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION OR A RE-BUILD. THIS VAN IS A 2016 WITH 78,000 MILES. I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE AND I AM HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY RECALLS OR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN I UNLOCK DOORS, THERE IS A BUZZING SOUND. PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR, ACTUATOR IS GOING BAD. IT IS LOUD, ANNOYING AND IT COULD LEAD TO A SAFETY ISSUE WITH LOCK WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THOMPSON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM BALTIMORE (124 NORTH POINT BLVD, BALTIMORE, MD 21224) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,500.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR ON OUR 2016 DODGE CARAVAN CANNOT BE OPENED. IT STOPPED WORKING AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN TWO YEARS. IT CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR PASSENGERS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. WE WERE TOLD THE INTERIOR LATCH WAS BROKEN AND THAT IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AS A NUMBER OF OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING OUR AUTOMATIC 2016 DODGE CARAVAN WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. IT FELT LIKE I WAS ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF GAS. THE MECHANIC HAS SPENT THE LAST 3 WEEKS DOING EXTENSIVE (AND EXPENSIVE) TESTING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. HE SAID THAT IT IS GOING INTO 'LIMP MODE' AND IS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. IT IS UNDRIVABLE AND UNSAFE IN THE CURRENT CONDITION. THE MECHANIC SAID IT IS A 'SHIFT SOLENOID' ISSUE AND THAT WE NEED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION, WHICH WILL COST $4000. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND HAVE ONLY PUT 73,000 MILES ON IT. SEEMS EARLY TO NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION SO I AM WONDERING IF SOME OF THE POWER TRAIN COMPONENTS USED BY THE MANUFACTURER WERE FAULTY.

MY REAR SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK MANUALLY, WITH THE KEY FOB, OR WITH ANY OF THE CONTROL PANELS FROM THE INSIDE EFFECTIVELY LOCKING AND TRAPPING ANYONE INSIDE WHO DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS FROM ANOTHER DOOR. NO MATTER WHAT I DO THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. IT SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T41910_DS866499. THIS HAPPENS IF THE VEHICLE IS OFF, ON, IN PARK, OR IN DRIVE. MY BABIES CAR SEAT IS ON THAT SIDE AND I COULD ACCESS HER FROM THE PASSENGERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR.
