2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

SLIDING DOOR MAKING BUZZING WHEN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. THIS OCCURS WHENEVER LOCKING OR UNLOCKING THE DOOR.

I ARRIVED AT THE STORE, I WAS WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS. SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TRIED OPENING THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DOOR WAS STUCK. I COULD NOT UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY. I TRIED VARIOUS METHODS AND THE DOOR IS SEALED SHUT. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY YOU WON'T ABLE PASSENGERS OUT FAST ENOUGH. IN THIS CASE BEING MY CHILDREN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE, WIRES WERE EXPOSED, AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DID NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COIL AND SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

BOTH SLIDING DOORS HAVE FAILED. THE PASSENGER SIDE ACCUATOR IS FAILING AND THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. I CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR AT ALL AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN WHEN CAR IS IN PARK AND OFF OR ON.

SLIDING REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK. MANUAL LOCK IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION AND DOES NOT CHANGE POSITION WITH THE INSIDE BUTTONS OR THE KEY FOBS. I'VE READ ONLINE ABOUT MANY VANS LIKE MINE WITH THIS ISSUE (2012 AND UP...). SOME OF THEM ARE STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION! THE ESTIMATED COST IS $1100 WHICH I CAN NOT AFFORD. OF COURSE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT IN MARCH AND THIS HAPPENED IN AUGUST. *JS

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

THE LEFT SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK CLOSED WITH NO MANUAL OR REMOTE LOCK HELPING. CAN'T OPEN IT AT ALL. BABY STUCK IN CAR SEAT AND I CAN'T GET HIM OUT WITH OUT HARDSHIP SINCE DOOR WON'T OPEN.

THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS NORMAL, AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. IT WON'T OPEN WITH THE KEY/FOB OR MANUALLY. IT IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED.

2016 GRAND DODGE CARAVAN PASSENGER SLIDER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN OR CLOSE WITH KEY FOBE, OVERHEAD BUTTON OR MANUALLY. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. SEEMS THAT THE DOOR IS IN THE LOCK POSITION. CANNOT MOVE THE UNLOCK/LOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR. THIS IS A DANGER WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. DID GET IT OPEN BY PUSHING ON THE DOOR BUTTON AND THE KEY FOBE AT THE SAME TIME, AND IT WORKED FOR AWHILE, NOW IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL AND CANNOT GET THE DOOR OPEN. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE SAME THE PROBLEM AND DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO ALOT OF THEIR VANS.
