2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

THE DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED DUE TO A FAULTY ACTUATOR. THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE RIDING IN THE BACK OF THE VAN, IF THE OTHER SLIDER IS DAMAGED, THE PASSENGERS COULD BECOME TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTER THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBABLY IN MODEL YEARS 2014-2017. THE POWER LOCKS WORK FINE, THEN SUDDENLY THE ONE SLIDER WILL NOT OPERATE. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE ISSUE A RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, WITH NO RESPONSE.

I HAD SOMEONE RUN A REDLIGHT & HIT MY RIGHT SIDE QUARTER PANEL BEHIND THE TIRE JUST BEFORE THE DOOR. MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT LENSE WAS CRACKED IN THE PROCESS. THE BODY SHOP TOLD ME IT'S DEFECTIVE PRIOR TO YOUR ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT'S NOT EVEN SEALED. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK IF THERE'S A RECALL. WETHER IT IS OR NOT IT'S STILL THE FAULT OF CHRYSLER'S & I HAVE MOISTURE INSIDE IT NOW. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WILL FIX FOR ME? CAN'T REMEMBER ACTUALL MILEAGE BUT FIFTY NINE THOUSAND SOMETHING. ALSO CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT DATE. NOVEMBER 2018

MY 2016 DODGE CARAVAN WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. IN THE MORNING, THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULDN'T UNLOCK NEITHER MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB.

YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD AT 25MPH ON LEVEL CITY STREET WITH THE VEHICLE IN "DRIVE." SUDDENLY THE ENGINE ROARED AND REVVED UP BUT THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE - IT WAS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD SOMEHOW SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, LET THE ENGINE SETTLE BACK, AND CAUTIOUSLY APPLIED POWER. THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY. HOWEVER, AFTER PARKING AND RUNNING SOME ERRANDS, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON MY RETURN TRIP HOME. I HAVE NOT USED THE CAR SINCE.
