2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

The automatic sliding rear door is stuck in the lock position causing it to not be able to open automatically or manually. This poses a huge risk of there was a vehicle fire or other incident that wouldn't allow my back seat passengers to get out of the car. The door will not lock or unlock.

There appears to be an electrical problem when locking/unlocking the doors, and a loud buzz occurs and at times, the doors hesitate to lock or unlock, which in my opinion, is a safety hazard.

Car randomly stalled out without warning or signs of issues. We just purchased this used from Automax Hyundai. It has happened a total of 4 times this week.

*The passenger side sliding door will no longer lock. It will not lock with the clicker, the indoor power lock or manually. *This is a dangerous risk as an intruder may be able to access the interior of my van even if my kids or I are in it. Also, because it doesn't lock it could open while the car is driving injuring someone, etc... *I have not yet had it checked at a dealer. I found MANY other complaints from people saying the same thing. I assumed there was already a recall for this and was very disappointed that is not the case. I did not check with insurance, etc.. as our warranty has already expired and it wasn't caused by an accident, etc. *There was no warning that this was going to occur. It worked one day and didn't the next. I first noticed the problem about 3/4 weeks ago and have been looking for information, etc.. on recalls or what to do with this. It is obviously a safety hazard and it was not caused by anything we did.

The drivers side door remained locked when all other door are set to unlock. The drivers side door will not come unlocked whether by remote or manually pushing unlock. This happened on its own. A mechanic looked at it and said he would not mess with it because he was scared he we break the door and suggested going to a dealer. The car manufacturer issued a recall (Mopar X98) for this very same issue but it didn't include my car serial number. So, they don't want to honor the recall on my car. This is a serious safety concern on this vehicle as it is used for the transportation of several children and should an accident happen the chance of being trapped is very high since the door will not open at all. I located a service bulletin 23-036-21 that was issued and a Mopar Warranty Extension bulletin which states it includes this model year but Dodge has stated this particular VIN is not part of it. How does a VIN determine whether the actuator is going to go bad?

2017 Grand Caravan - check engine light came on at about 90000 miles. Confirmed that it is a cylinder 2 misfire. Repair shop indicates that the cylinder needs to be re-machined (or the entire engine replaced) and also indicated that the cylinder 2 issue is well-known with the Chrysler/Dodge engines and was part of a recall for earlier models. Estimated repair cost is $4K - $5K.

The passenger headrest busted open. There was no warning or anything like that. Also prior to that my window fell in the door well. I took it to the dealership and paid for repairs. I am glad the window did not break while I was in the car. I am taking the car to the dealership this week concerning the passenger headrest.
