2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN ONGOING ISSUE OF HAVING THE CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE. YOU CAN HAVE THE SPARK PLUG, SPARK PLUG WIRE, THE COIL PACK, CYLINDER HEAD VALVE, FUEL INJECTOR, VACUUM, SHAFTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE REPLACED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STILL COME ON SAYING THAT THIS CYLINDER IS MISFIRING. I HAVE HEARD AND READ MANY ARTICLES THAT SAY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND EVERYONE IS SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. AT THIS POINT, YOUR ONLY OPTION TO HAVE A RE-MANUFACTURED ENGINE INSTALLED WHICH CAN END UP COSTING MORE THAN YOU OWE ON THE CAR WHICH MANY PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD. HOW CAN YOU ALLOW A VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE AND NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO FIX IT? THIS CODE APPEARED ON MARCH 2019 AFTER A WEEK OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED EVERY PART THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS ERROR CODE AND THE ONLY OPTION IT TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THIS IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE AS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING. SLIDING DOOR REMAINED IN LOCKED POSITION. REPLACED AND REPAIRED ACTUATOR AT BODY SHOP FOR $475. RECENTLY, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING. IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD BUZZING SOUND AND GOT STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. *TR

SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS ON BOTH SIDES OF VAN REFUSE TO OPEN OR UNLOCK. DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY, WITH KEY FOB OR WITH THE BUTTON ON THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. THIS PREVENTS PASSENGERS IN REAR (USUALLY CHILDREN) FROM BEING ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD BE PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN IT IT JUST CRANKS AND CRANKS AND CRANKS BUT NEVER STARTS. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WAS JUST OCCASIONALLY BUT NOW IT WONT START AT ALL SO IT JUST SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. I'M A GRANDMOTHER RAISING HER GRANDCHILDREN BE NICE TO HAVE A VEHICLE TO TAKE THE BABIES TO THEIR APPTS. BUT OBVIOUSLY DODGE DOESN'T CARE BECAUSE THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DONT WANT TO MAKE THE PART AVAILABLE TO US TO FIX IT SO WE SPEND THE MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLE TO SET IN OUR DRIVEWAYS. I PURCHASED THE VAN ON A FRIDAY AND WITHIN A WEEK IT STARTED HIT AND MISS STARTING AND BY THE SECOND WEEK IN IS NOW PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS IS CRAZY DODGE YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT OR AT LEAST MAKE THE PART AVAILABLE FOR US TO PURCHASE SO WE CAN FIX OUR VEHICLES

I THINK THE 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN MAINSTREET SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ALWAYS FALLING LIGHTS COME ON WHILE IM DRIVING AND WON'T TURN OFF FOR A HALF HOUR LAYER NO MATTER WHAT I DO. THE AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS COMING ON AND THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING WHEN YOU SHIFT INTO GEAR THERE'S ALWAYS A BIG GUMPING SOUND AND THE SHIFT GETS STUCK IN PARKED GEAR FOR MINUTES BEFORE IT WANTS TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. I'VE READ A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED ITS DANGEROUS

VAN WON'T START SEVERAL TIME A WEEK BECAUSE OF A FAULTY T.I.P.M. DODGE KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WON'T WARRANTY IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FORCED TO RECALL THIS PART/PROBLEM. MY WIFE USE'S THIS VAN FOR HER JOB AND IS IN SOME BAD NEIGHBORHOODS AND IS SCARED SOMEONE WILL HURT HER AND SHE CAN'T GET AWAY BECAUSE VAN WON'T START. THERE ARE SEVERAL PLACES ON THE INTERNET THAT REBUILDS THESE T.I.P.M.'S BECAUSE OF KNOWN PROBLEMS. DODGE EVEN HAS A BYPASS TO THE FUEL PUMP AS AN AFTERMARKET PART TO FIX SOME OF THESE ISSUES BUT NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS.THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HAS INTERMITTENT POWER TO THE RELAY AND THAT IS CAUSING THE NO START PROBLEM. THE INTERNET HAS PAGE AFTER PAGE'S OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS THAT HAS HAD OR HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS ALL TIMES DURING THE DAY WHEN STATIONARY. VAN CAN WORK PERFECT THEN WE STOP AND GET OUT AND A FEW MINUTES LATER WE GET BACK IN AND VAN CRANKS BUT WON'T START.
