2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

2016 GRAND CARAVAN. DRIVER'S SLIDING DOOR JUST FROZE-- WIL NOT OPEN ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE LOCK IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND THE POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH WON'T MOVE DOOR'S LOCK TO THE 'UNLOCK' POSITION. WHEN YOU TRY TO MOVE THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON/LEVER ON THAT SLIDING DOOR, IT'S STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION--EVEN EXERTING FORCE THE LEVER CANNOT BE MOVED TO THE UNLOCKED POSITION-- TO MUCH FORCE FEELS LIKE I'M GOING TO BREAK THE LEVER. THE DOOR IS IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND IS NOT ABLE TO BE OPENED. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THIS SAME DOOR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR CEASED IN THE CLOSED/LOCKED POSITION. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REEDMAN TOLL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF SPRINGFIELD (770 BALTIMORE PIKE, SPRINGFIELD, PA 19064, (610) 544-5300) HOWEVER, WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHEN UNLOCKING THE DOORS USING THE KEY FOB, THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR MAKES A VERY LOUD BUZZING NOISE. IT STARTED IN 2019 AND OCCURS EVERY TIME THE PASSENGER DOOR UNLOCKS.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK TO OPEN, TIME IS 2 WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY. *TR

ONCE I RETURNED HOME AFTER THE STORE, I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED NOT ALL LOCKS SOUNDED WHEN PARKING. I USED MY BUTTONS ON MY OVERHEAD TO OPEN MY 2 SIDE DOORS. THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED FINE, BUT THE LEFT SLIDING DOOR WOULDNT OPEN. AS I WAS TRYING TO OPEN I NOTICED IT WASNT UNLOCKING. I TRIED EVERYTHING AND IT'S STILL STUCK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2011 TO 2018 VAN'S, ACCORDING TO THE 100+ REVIEWS I READ ONLINE. WITH THIS PROBLEM I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY BABY OUT OF THE VAN AND HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH THE VAN TO GET HIM OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, WHAT IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT AND IT WAS AN EMERGENCY??? THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY FOR MY BABY OR ONE OF MY OTHER 3 CHILDREN. THIS IS A KNOWN CONCERN AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY DODGE UNTIL SOMETHING TRAGIC DOES HAPPEN. PLEASE FIX BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. ALSO ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO THE RIGHT BACKSEAT DOOR STARTED MAKING A STRANGE BUZZING NOISE EVERYTIME IT UNLOCKS. NOT SURE IF THIS IS CONNECTED BUT THIS IS ALSO A VERY COMMON ISSUE TOO. THANK YOU!

THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCKING MECHANISM. ONE DAY WE PARKED AND LOCKED THE CAR TO GET ICE CREAM AND WHEN WE CAME BACK THE DOOR WOULDN'T UNLOCK. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK IN LOCK POSITION AND WILL NOT OPEN. OPENED FINE AND AFTER A 20 MINUTE CAR RIDE IT WAS THEN STUCK. I HAVE REVIEWED SEVERAL FORUMS REGARDING THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM, AND HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS REPORTS ON THE NAME ISSUE. SHOULD THERE BE AN EMERGENCY OF ANY SORTS, THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT SAFELY. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE MANUAL SLIDING DOOR REMAINS LOCKED. CAN NOT UNLOCK MANUALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. SAFETY ISSUE, EGRESS NOT EASILY POSSIBLE.

UNLOCK THE KIDS REAR DOORS ARE MAKING DO YOU PLAY SOUND IN THE LOCK AND NOT SURE WHY THEY ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING EVERY TIME WE TURN ON THE CAR? UPON RESEARCHING IT ONLINE THERE'S TONS OF COMPLAINTS THAT THE DOORS ARE BUZZING WHEN WE GET INTO THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WITH ALL 2016 MODELS. TOPIC SEEING COMPLAINTS ONLINE TELLS ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE AND IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM DEVELOPED BY ITSELF WITH MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THIS MODEL.. *TR

WAS SITTING IN A DRI E THRU LINE AT THE PHARMACY. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK TO HIT THE GAS THE VAN WOULD NOT MOVE AND AFTER ABOUT 2 SECONDS VAN JUMPED FORWARD. AFTER THAT I HEARD A LOUD WHINNING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. THAT JUST GOT LOUDER. NOW VAN NOT SHIFTING. *TR
