2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SHIFTING WHILE THE RPMS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ORLANDO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (4101 W COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32808, (407) 299-1120), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V461000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TWICE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,783. *LN*JB

THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVE-ABLE BUT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 40MPH WHEN MOTION IN ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREET. THE VEHICLE HESITATE AND SHIFT GEARS WHEN TRYING TO GO ABOVE 40MPH.I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS 2016 DODGE CARAVAN.

THE POWER LOCK ACTUATORS ON THE SIDE SLIDING DOORS HAVE QUIT WORKING ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE MALFUNCTION IS UNSAFE BECAUSE YOU ARE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS MANUALLY OR OPEN THE DOORS. THE DOORS ARE STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND STUCK CLOSED. IF YOU HAD TO EXIT THE DOOR IN AN EMERGENCY SUCH AS A FIRE OR FLOODING, THE REAR PASSENGERS COULD NOT EXIT THROUGH THE SLIDING DOORS. CURRENTLY, THE PASSENGERS HAVE TO CLIMB OVER THE FRONT SEATS TO EXIT IN THE FRONT.

REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR MAKES BUZZING NOISE WHEN UNLOCKING. THE LOCK AND UNLOCK DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK.

PASSENGER REAR SLIDING DOOR MAKES EXTREMELY LOUD BUZZING NOISE WHEN ANY DOORS LOCK OR UNLOCK. THERE HAD BEEN NO DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE AND THIS CAME COMPLETELY RANDOM. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN DODGE! I WALKED OUT HIT UNLOCK ON THE KEY FOB WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY. HEARD BUSZZZZZZZ SUPER LOUD GOT NERVOUS COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE NOISE. I FIGURED IT OUT WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION AND THE DOORS THEN LOCKED AND THE NOISE HAPPENED AGAIN. HAS NOW HAPPENED EVERYTIME SINCE THEN AND IT'S EXTREMELY LOUD.

RIGHT PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION. UNABLE TO OPEN OR UNLOCK THE DOOR, AND THERE IS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO INABILITY TO GET MY YOUNG CHILD OUT. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED OUT OF NOWHERE, ONE DAY IT WORKED AND THE NEXT IT WASN'T. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE VAN ONLY HAS 36 THOUSAND MILES ON IT.

DRIVERS SLIDE SLIDING DOOR STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. DOOR COMPLETELY STUCK SHUT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 40 MPH. AT TIMES, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

MY 2016 DODGE CARAVAN JUST SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. AFTER SENDING THE CAR TO THE DODGE DEALER 5 TIMES, IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE. NOW, IT TURNS BACK ON, SO WHEN I TAKE IT, THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM. I HEAR THERE ARE LOTS OF THESE ISSUES, BUT NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG. 1ST TIME, DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT, JUST SHUT DOWN. LOST ALL POWER STEERING, BREAKS, NO LIGHTS, WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON FOR TWO DAYS, SO I TOWED IT TO DODGE.THEY FOUND FAILURE IN THE TIPM, 2ND SAME DAY I GOT THE CAR BACK, I TOWED IT IN AGAIN DRIVING HOME, IT SHUT OFF, NO SIGNS, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, VERY SCARRY CITY STREET, BLOCKING TRAFFIC. DODGE SAID A WIRE WAS LOOSE. 3RD TIME, COULD NOT DIAGNOSE AS OT IT STARTED BACK UP AND NO CODES. 4TH, THIS TIME IT STOPPED, I SMELLED GAS. THE FUEL LINE BROKE, IT STARTED UP AFTER A GUY PUSHED THE LINE BACK ON. I DROVE IT TO DODGE, HOPING IT WAS THE ISSUE. IT WAS NOT. 5TH TIME, I WAS OUT OF TOWN, IT DROVE THE 4 HOURS, IT WAS THE NEXT DAY IT SHUT DOWN ON ME TWICE ON A BUSY FREEWAY IN AUSTIN TX. IF I WAIT NOW ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES, IT STARTS AGAIN. IN BETWEEN THAT TIME THE THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. I TOWED IT TO CARMAX, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AFTER 4 DAYS IN SHOP. DROVE IT HOME, AND IT DIED ON ME 4 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY, BUSY HIGHWAY. IM SO OVER THIS AND SCARED. DROVE IT TO DODGE AGAIN, NO CODES TO SHOW WHY.

WHEN I OPEN OR UNLOCK MY DOORS, I GET A LOUD BUZZER. I SEE FROM ON-LINE POSTS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2016 VANS LIKE MINE AND IT COSTS $600 TO FIX. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.
