2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

TAKATA RECALL, MARINE CORPS. VETERAN AND MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN R/T DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR STUCK SHUT ON LOCK POSITION I HAVE TRIED REMOVING FUSES AND STILL NONTHING. AFTER ONLY 10 THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE 6 CHILDREN THAT OCCUPY THE REAR. I HAVE GOTTTEN THE QUOTE FROM 1K - 2K TO FIX THIS ISSUE WHICH IS VERY EXSPENSIVE AND CAN NOT AFFORD. I HAVE READ SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE RANGING DIFFERENT YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL VEHICAL.

SLIDING DOOR BEHIND DRIVER LOCKED WILL NOT UNLOCK. GOOGLED PROBLEM MANY VEHICLES WITH SAME PROBLEM. I USE THESE AS SCHOOL BUS AND CANNOT USE IT NOW.READING ABOUT PROBLEM DODGES FIX IS A 1100.00 DOLLAR FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. GENGRAS DODGE (460 CONNECTICUT BLVD, EAST HARTFORD, CT) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

REAR DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED OPERATING. WILL NOT OPEN EITHER MANUALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. IT IS AS IF IT IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED. PASSENGERS ON THAT SIDE CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE THAT SIDE, MAKING IT A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR DID NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALL THE OTHER DOORS OPERATED PROPERLY. THE CONTACT MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO OPEN THE DOOR, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE WON'T UNLOCK OR OPEN (NOT AUTOMATIC OPEN DOOR, MANUALLY OPEN) TRIED USING THE DOOR UNLOCK PAD THE KEY FOB AND THE LOCK IN THE DOOR AND IT STILL DOESN'T UNLOCK OR OPEN. MY 1 YEAR OLD SITS ON THAT SIDE AND I AM WORRIED THIS IS A VERY HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO HIM QUICKLY. MY 3 YEAR OLD SITS ON THE OTHER SIDE AND SO NOW WE HAVE TO CLIMB IN TO UNBUCKLE BOTH CHILDREN TO GET THEM OUT. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO HAPPEN. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED THE OTHER SIDE WHEN THAT AGITATOR WENT OUT ON IT. MY VAN HAS 32000 MILES. BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2016. SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE SAFETY ISSUES. PLEASE LOOK INTO DODGE AND THE REPORTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE FILED WHO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FIXED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION. IT WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK EVEN MANUALLY. THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS NOW MAKING A GRINDING NOISE EVERYTIME THE FRONT DOORS ARE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED AND COULD FAIL SOON CAUSING MY CHILDREN TO BE LOCKED INSIDE THE VAN. ONLY 68,000 MILES ON THIS VAN AND THE REPAIR IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE AROUND 1200 DOLLARS. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD.

BACK SIDE DOOR IS LOCKED AND CANNOT BE OPENED OR UNLOCKED NEITHER MANUALLY OR WITH FOB OR INTERIOR BUTTON, DOOR IS JAMMED SHUT

PASSENGER REAR SLIDING DOOR INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED WORKING. WOULD NOT OPEN, MAKE A BUZZING NOISE. TOOK TO DEALER TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. THEY SAID THE DOOR MOTOR WAS FAULTY AND COULD FAIL CLOSED LOCKING THE REAR PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT A COST OF $1300.00. A MONTH LATER THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR FAILED CLOSED. I AM NOW LOOKING AT ANOTHER $1300.00 REPAIR. THESE ITEMS RE NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. IT WILL BOT OPEN MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB. THE MESSAGE SAYS TO UNLOCK THE DOOR BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR BUT IT WILL BOT OPEN. THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES ON IT WHEN THE DOOR GOT STUCK. IT IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT WHEN A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH VANS HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ONLINE. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SLIDING DOORS LOCKING AS WELL. THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL OPEN AFTER BEING LOCKED AND THE ALARM WILL SOUND. THIS IS BAD BECAUSE ANYONE CAN GET INTO YOUR CAR EVEN WITH IT LOCKED. THE LOCKING MECHANISMS IN THESE VANS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED ASAP! THANK YOU!
