2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

DRIVERS SIDE, PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN. DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IF IT IS STATIONARY, OFF OR RUNNING. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ANYONE SITTING IN THAT POSITION REQUIRING EMERGENCY EGRESS, WOULD BE TRAPPED. I SUSPECT IT IS A BAD DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM, IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED WITH <40K MILES.

THE REAR SLIDING DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS BECOME STUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION OVERNIGHT. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. NOTHING CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN SUCH AS AN ACCIDENT OR FORCIBLY CLOSING THE DOOR. AFTER GOOGLING THIS ISSUE, I'VE DISCOVERED MANY, MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND DODGE WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD BE DEADLY WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE REAR WHO CANNOT ESCAPE THE VAN IN CASE OF FIRE OR AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING, SEVERAL DASH PANEL LIGHTS FLASHED, LOST POWER STEERING, LOST ABILITY TO INCREASE SPEED WITH GAS PEDAL. ENGINE STAYED ON BUT ONLY AT IDLE. ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC ONTO SIDE ROAD AND STOP. TURNED KEY TO OFF AND THEN TRIED TO START CAR AGAIN. IT WORKED ON THE SECOND TRY. SEEMED TO OPERATE NORMALLY WITH ONLY THE CLOCK RESET TO 12:00AM. THIS SAME SEQUENCE HAPPENED TWICE, ABOUT A WEEK APART. NO RAIN EITHER TIME BOTH DURING DAYLIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL, WINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS THE RATE OF SPEED INCREASED, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V461000(POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000.

WAS SITTING AT GAS STATION WITH THE VAN AT AN IDLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS IT WAS DETERMINED IT HAD A CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE. I HAD THE SPARK PLUG AND IGNITION COIL REPLACED AND STILL HAVE THE CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE. HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD HAS GONE BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD MOPAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS IN THE PAST.

2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR. DOOR LOCK MAKES A LOUD BUZZING SOUND WHEN IT LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY, OR USING THE FOB. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND THE VAN HITS 15 MILES AN HOUR WITH THE AUTO LOCK, AND WHEN STOPPED USING THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE ARM REST OR WITH THE FOB. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

THE ACTUATOR ON BOTH SLIDING DOORS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THEY BOTH HAVE BEEN STUCK WHERE THE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE AND LOCK. ALSO THE DOOR HAS BEEN CLOSED BEFORE WHERE MY CHILD HAS BEEN ALMOST HURT DUE TO DOOR NOT OPENING BACK UP DUE TO SAFETY OPTION WITH THE DOOR. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUE WHERE THE THE TAILGATE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN AND CLOSE IN THE BACK IT WORK WENT WANTS TO. MOST INCIDENTS OCCURRED IN STATIONARY AND MOTOR RUNNING CASES. THE ACTUATOR LOCKING MECHANISM HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH. IF LOCK THE DOORS THIS OCCURS TO. HAD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THESE ISSUE AND THEY CHARGED TO FIX ONE OF THE SIDES ALREADY. NOW THE THE OTHER SIDE IS HAPPENING. THEY WANT ALMOST A 1000.00 TO FIX. HAVE BEEN READING COMPLAINTS OF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS YEAR HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR. NEEDS BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED OUT THE DODGE MAKER NOT THE OWNER.

LEFT HAND SLIDING DOOR LOCK WILL NOT UNLOCK, I CAN HERE THE LOCK TRY TO OPEN BUT DOES NOT OPEN

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND EVERY TIME I UNLOCK THE DOOR OR LOCK IT IT MAKES THIS LOUD BUZZING NOISE, THE DOOR WORKS FINE IT OPENS AND CLOSE. BUT WHEN USING THE UNLOCK BUTTON FROM THE KEY EVERYONE CAN HEAR THE LOAD BUZZING NOISE TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. THEY WANT $650.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

BACK SLIDING DOOR HAS BEGAN MAKING A LOUD BUZZING SOUND ANYTIME I HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON. IT IS REALLY LOUD.
