2013 Dodge Grand Caravan complaints

HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO A TRANNY SHOP THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TIPM. I CALLED LOCAL DODGE STORE AND THEY SAID IT COST $965 NEW AND IT IS BACK ORDERED. DODGE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS WITH THEIR TIPM'S AND THIS SHOULD OF BEEN RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO. VEHICLE STALLS AT ALL SPEEDS AND COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM OR DEATH. *TR

ONE DAY, I FOUND MY DRIVERS SEAT HEAD REST HAD COME OPENED. WHEN LOOKING TO SEE WHAT CAUSED THIS, IT SAID THAT YOU WERE REAR ENDED? I WAS NOT REAR ENDED! NOW MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON? I HAD ASK A DODGE DEALER ABOUT IT , AND HE SAID THAT IT WOULD COST A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX IT? WHEN READING ABOUT THE RECALLS ON IT, I READ WHERE THE CLIPS ARE BREAKING. MAKING THE HEAD REST TO COME OPEN, AND THE AIR BAGS NOT WORKING? PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEMS? I DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS MY FAULT?

THE SAFETY HEADREST DEPLOYED IN OUR 2013 GRAND CARAVAN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN USE, STATIONARY AND PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, NOR WAS IT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IN LOOKING AT THE HISTORY OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. SUCH OCCURRENCES ARE DANGEROUS AND NOT SURE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED ALREADY?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD, THE IGNITION WAS JARRED AND SHIFTED TO THE OFF POSITION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF. DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF ROCKVILLE (755 ROCKVILLE PIKE, ROCKVILLE, MD 20852, (301)424-1700) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

DRIVING ON 6/22/20 ON HIGHWAY, GOING 70 MPH, WHEN DRIVER SIDE HEADREST POPPED OPEN. THERE WAS NOTHING NEAR IT (EXCEPT MY HUSBAND'S HEAD) WHEN IT POPPED. *TR

FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS THE VAN JUST TURNS OFF WHILE WE ARE DRIVING IT. COMPLETELY TURNS OFF- WE COULD BE DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET OR GOING 75 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. IT'S TERRIFYING. WE'VE TRIED TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND FIXED BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THE CODES WHEN THE MECHANIC CHECKS IT. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE THE RPM REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 220,000. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

REAR DRIVERS SLIDING DOOR BUZZES AND REMAINS IN A LOCKED POSITION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN USING THE FOB TOO. THE VAN AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS WHEN YOU REACH ABOUT 25 MPH. MOST OF THE TIME I GET A LOUD BUZZING FROM THAT DOOR WHEN IT DOES. SOMETIMES YOU CAN MANUALLY UNLOCK IT BUT MOST TIMES NOT. I HAVE READ MORE PEOPLE THAN ME ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH A RANGE OF YEARS FOR THE DODGE CARAVAN. I HAVE MY GRANDSON WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME AND THAT IS THE SEAT HE IS IN. MY CONCERN IS IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOOR CAN BE UNLOCKED THEN WHAT? I TRULY THERE IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE GOING ON WITH THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

HI, I WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND AT ABOUT 45 MPH THE RPM'S RAMPED UP TO 5+ AND VAN HAD NO ADDITIONAL POWER AND I COASTED OFF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS RECENTLY INFORMED I NEED TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A COST OF $4,286.70 AND WAS REACHING OUT TO YOU FOR CONSIDERATION OF ANY WARRANTY EXTENSION AS I ONLY HAVE 110K MILES ON OUR FAMILY VAN. THIS ESTIMATE IS PROBABLY HIGHER THAN WHAT ONE OF YOUR DEALERSHIPS CAN OFFER. WHILE THESE ARE VERY CHALLENGING TIMES FOR MANY I WAS HOPING DODGE CAN OFFER BRAND LOYALTY COVERAGE (3RD DODGE PRODUCT WE'VE PURCHASED) AS YOU WERE KIND ENOUGH TO DO LAST YEAR WITH A PROBLEM WE HAD. ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I WILL BE SENDING AN EMAIL TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND LOOK FORWARD TO A RESPONSE. THANK YOU!

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK ELECTRICALLY OR MANUALLY, SO THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OPENING HANDLES CANNOT BE OPERATED. USING THE KEY FOB OR INTERIOR BUTTONS TO OPEN THE DOOR CAUSE A MESSAGE TO DISPLAY ON THE DASH INFORMATION AREA SAYING "UNLOCK DOOR TO OPERATE." THIS POSES A RISK IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND MY CHILDREN NEED TO EXIT OR BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY IF OTHER DOORS ARE BLOCKED OR DAMAGED DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR WHILE IN MOTION.

VEHICLE SEIZED UP AND STALLED DURING DRIVING. PREVIOUS CRANKS BUT WON'T START 1 YEAR MANY TIMES. DID A RELAY BYPASS WIRE TO START VEHICLE. TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND NOT ACCELERATION.

THE ENGINE STALLS OCCASIONALLY WHEN I TRY TO GO AFTER BEING STOPPED AT STOP SIGN. NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE ENGINE JUST DIES. RADIO AND ELECTRICAL ARE STILL ON. I'M AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I AM MOVING AND MY BRAKES AND STEERING WILL BE COMPROMISED.

THE VEHICLE WILL STOP WHILE DRIVING. IT CUTS OFF AFTER STARTING AND SOMETIMES TAKES UP TO 10 MINUTES JUST TO START IT. THE BATTERY IS DYING DAILY AND HAS TO BE JUMPED OR DISCONNECTED JUST TO START IN THE MORNING. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND ALL END UP HAVING TO BYPASS OR CHANGE THE TIPM FUSE BOX. IT WAS DEFECTIVE ON 2011 AND 2012 MODELS. THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS ON THE 2013 MODEL.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON LEVEL SURFACE AFTER CAR WASH WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THE HEAD RESTRAINT SAFETY DEVICE MALFUNCTIONED AND POPPED OPEN. I NOTICED THE BLACK PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD THE RESTRAINT TO THE METAL PIN WERE BROKEN, MOST LIKELY CAUSED FROM EXCESSIVE STRAIN OVER TIME.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. ALL LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON BUT MY POWER STEERING WOULD GO AWAY AND THE RPM'S WOULD DROP TO 0. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO START IT AFTER PULLING OVER (MANUALLY CRANKING THE STEERING WHEEL) THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER, START, AND THEN SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. THEN RANDOMLY, USUALLY AFTER 15 MINUTES, THE CAR WOULD START UP LIKE NORMAL AND STAY ON WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF EACH INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THOMAS DODGE OF ORLAND PARK 15941 S 94TH AVE ORLAND PARK, IL. 60462-5522, (708)403-8801 WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THERE WAS ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE DETECTED AND VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CAR SHUT OFF ENTIRELY AFTER HITTING A BUMP. THE RPM WENT DOWN TO 0 AND THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK. EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AS WE WERE DRIVING. WE DID NOT HAVE ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. THE CAR SIMPLY SHUT OFF AT 80 MPH. ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON DID NOT WORK. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY EACH TIME. WE AREN'T SURE IF THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, SINCE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF.

MY PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IN A PERMANENT LOCKED POSITION. I AM NOT ABLE TO EVEN MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR. THIS IS SECURITY ISSUE.

BAD TIPM MODULE, HAD MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND THE BATTERY AND NOW THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THE MODULE IS BAD AND IT KEEPS TURNING THE NEW FUEL PUMP ON AND OFF AND IT WILL RUIN BOTH OF THOSE NEW PARTS IF IT IS NOT FIXED. ALL THE CHRYSLER AND DODGE TRUCKS HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS, WHY NOT THE DODGE VANS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE.

THE VANS ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES. THE MECHANIC CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE NO CODES OR LIGHT COME ON. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM.

THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED, THE PASSENGER WAS ADJUSTING THE SEAT TO MOVE BACK AND ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF THE SEAT. THERE WAS NO CAR ACCIDENT TO ACTIVATE THIS ACTION. IT WAS STARTLING TO HEAR THIS AND SEE THIS. IT IS HIGHLY DEFECTIVE IN IT'S ACTIVISION MECHANISM. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE TO FIX THIS IN THE $1000. I SEE NO LOGICAL REASON FOR THE HEAD REST AND NOW I CAN SEE IF IT DEPLOYED ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.*DT CONSUMER STATED HEAD REST HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.*JB

MY VAN JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS NO WARNING. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT GOING FAST. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VAN AND PUT IN PARK AND START IT AGAIN WITHOUT DIFFICULTY . I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT DODGE KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE A MANDATORY RECALL.

THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR STOPPED WORKING, REAR GATE IS CLOSED TIGHT BUT INDICATOR SAYS IT'S OPEN AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING

I STARTED TO HAVE A PROBLEM STARTING MY VAN I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE ASKED ME WHAT HAPPENED I TOLD HIM THAT I TRIED TO START THE VAN IT DOESN'T START IMMEDIATELY I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES AND AFTER A WHILE THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD IN THE MORNING AND I STARTED TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY TERMINAL HE SAID HE SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT'S VERY COMMON IN DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IT'S THE TIPM ( THE FUSE BOX ) THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS WELDED INTO THE FUSE BOX AND CAN NOT BE REPLACED AND IF IT GOES BAD IT WILL COST 1200 $ TO REPLACE THAT IS CRAZY IF THIS WAS TOYOTA THE COST OF FUEL PUMP RELAY IS NO MORE THAN 20 TO 30 DOLLARS IT'S A BAD DESIGN AND DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR IT

ACCORDING TO THE DODGE DEALER THAT IS HANDLING THE CAR THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE TYPUN <THE WAY IT WAS EXPLAINED IT'S THE BRAIN THAT READS THE KEY> I BELIEVE THAT BEING IT'S NOT A PROBLEM THAT'S RELATED TO WEAR AND TEAR. THEN IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL AND NOT A OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER MULTIPLE INCORRECT DIAGNOSTICS, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE AND ESTIMATED THE REPAIR TO COST $1,500. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH HONDA OF THE AVENUES (11333 PHILIPS HWY, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32256, (904) 370-1300) AND WAS REFERRED TO JACKSONVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ARLINGTON (9600 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225, (877) 677-5782). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR STOPPED WORKING IN MY WIFE'S 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT. THE LOCK WILL NOT ACTUATE TO EITHER LOCK OR UNLOCK AND SO THE DOOR IS STUCK EFFECTIVELY LOCKED AND WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT HAS THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE BUT A FEW TIMES I HAVE RIDDEN WITH MY WIFE I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE OTHER DOOR LOCKS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGER AND AUTO-LOCK AS THEY SHOULD WHEN THE VEHICLE IS INITIALLY PUT INTO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 10MIN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION. THE LOCKED SLIDING DOOR CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY OPINION SINCE THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE DELAYED ACTIVATION OF THE AUTO-LOCK COULD ALSO INDICATE A LARGER ISSUE WITH EITHER THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISMS IN GENERAL OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS THEM. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF ISSUES LIKE THESE CONCERNING VARIOUS YEARS AND MODELS OF DODGE MINIVANS. ENOUGH TO POSSIBLY CONSTITUTE A RECALL.

THE LIGHT FROM AIR BAG PASSERGER IS ON VERY TIME .FOR 6 TIME REPORT TO DE DEALER ,DONT D/E

I TURNED OFF MY 2013 GRAND CARAVAN AND NOTICED A SOUND LIKE A FAN BUZZING COMING FROM THE REAR TIRE AREA. IN A FEW HRS I CAME BACK OUT AND TRIED TO START IT AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. RESEARCH TELLS ME IT'S THE FUEL PUMP RELAY.

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. IS CLOSED AND WILL NOT OPEN USING ANY MEANS. IT IS LOCKED SHUT. POWER LOCK, KEY FOB, AND INTERIOR LOCK MECHANISM WILL NOT OPEN DOOR. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT REAR PASSENGERS NEED TO EXIT VEHICLE. WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH ENGINE RUNNING OR OFF, PARKED, MOVING OR AT ANY TIME. THE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. NO CRASH.

BOTH KEYS STOPPED WORKING WHEN VAN WAS UNDER WARRANTY, ONE KEY HAS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN, KEY WON'T UNLOCK VAN. ARE DEFECTIVE KEYS A COMMON PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AN ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE VENTS. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS TURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

2013 CARAVAN JUST DIES WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING JUST QUITS. PULL TO THE SIDE OF ROAD IN TRAFFIC HAVE TO TURN OFF AND RESTART.THIS IS VERY SERIOUS HAS DONE SEVERAL TIMES. CANT FIND A RECALL IM SURE THERE HAS BEEN INJURIES OR EVEN DEATHS FROM THIS. NO RECALL REALLY? I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE HEAD GASKET AND VALVES WERE FAULTY. THE CONTACT CALLED BOB HOWARD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (13250 BROADWAY EXT, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73114, (405) 749-1111), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,900.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD A SCANNER THAT DIAGNOSED THAT ENGINE CYLINDER NUMBER TWO HAD RUST PARTICLES AND THE NUMBER FOUR CYLINDER MISFIRED. THE NUMBER SIX CYLINDER HAD NO ISSUES. THE ENGINE WAS A PINTASTAR 3.6 LITER, WHICH FAILED IN PAST VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL. THE MANUFACTURER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY UP TO 100,000 MILES. NEESEN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2151 N US, US-77, KINGSVILLE, TX 78363, (361) 516-001) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 60 MPH, MY HEADREST DEPLOYED. I DID NOT USE THE BRAKES, AND WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT, INCLUDING A REAR END ACCIDENT, WHICH IS WHEN THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT SMACKED INTO THE BACK OF MY HEAD. THE SURPRISE AND PAIN OF THIS HITTING THE BACK OF ME HEAD RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND OTHER VEHICLES. THE PLASTIC TABS INSIDE ARE SNAPPED AND THERE IS NO WAY TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER WITHOUT A REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. THE PART OBVIOUSLY FAILED. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AND I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING TO CHRYSLER MINIVANS AND SUVS. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH I BELIEVE IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT IT DID NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED. IF I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT, THEY BOTH SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, AS MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. I'M INCLUDING PICTURES OF THE DEPLOYED HEADREST, THE PASSENGER ONE THAT IS STILL TOGETHER, AND THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE TO SHOW THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THANK YOU.

PHOTOS OF FRONT AND BACK OF VEHICLE WILL PROVE NO DAMAGE. IT APPEARS THE PLASTIC RETAINER WHICH HOLDS THE COMPONENT TOGETHER FAILED AND SNAPPED ON ITS OWN ACCORD.

DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS. I WORK FOR A FEDERAL FLEET AND WE HAVE HAVE SEVERAL THOUSAND WINDOW REGULATORS ON DODGE GRAND CARAVANS FAIL AND BE REPLACED, AND EVEN SOME OF THE REPLACEMENTS HAVE FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS AND HAS REIMBURSED MY AGENCY FOR SOME OF THE COSTS. THE FACT THAT THEY HAVEN'T OPENED A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS COMPLETE BS AND A TOTAL CUSTOMER SERVICE FAILURE ON THEIR PART.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN MAY 2016. THE MILES ON THE VEHICLE WERE 50,000. MY CURRENT MILES ARE 93,000. I NOTICED IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN GOING DOWNHILL AFTER THIS RECENT INCIDENT . I DONT USUALLY GO UPHILL OR DOWNHILL WHERE I LIVE AND COMMUTE! ONE DAY I HAD WENT TO OAKLAND TO HELP GIVE A RIDE THATS WHEN I NOTICED IT WAS UNSAFE. I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL WHEN SUDDENLY THE VAN WOULD JOLT AND STOP THEN GO IT WOULD REPEAT THIS ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR 4 MIN. IT WAS REALLY SCARY ONCE I GOT BACK ON EVEN LEVEL PAVEMENT IT STOPPED AFTER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND IN DRIVE IN THE OAKLAND HILLS I FELT I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY CAR IT WAS A HILL THAT HAD SOME MILD TURNS BUT THE HILL WAS STEEP. I WAS NOT DRIVING FAST, I WAS ONLY GOING 30 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD NO BRAKE PROBLEMS BEFORE OR AFTER JUST DURING THIS ROAD. I TOOK THE VAN TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS SAYING THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I ONLY HAD THIS VAN TECHNICALLY FOR 43,000 MILES. I EVEN FOUND OUT THAT IT HAD A RECALL BEFORE I BOUGHT IT IN 2014 OF SOMETHING ELSE. THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE DIDNT MAKE SURE THAT RECALL WAS FIXED IN 2014. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016!! THIS VEHICLE WAS USED!! I WISH WE HAD TEST DRIVED THIS CAR ON A HILL FIRST!! IM PAYING 19,000 FOR THIS CAR I EVEN WENT A HAD TO FIX THE HEATER CORE THAT ALSO WENT OUT.. I OFTEN SERVICE IT!! I HAVE NO PHOTOS TO TAKE LIKE HOW? I AM WORKING ON GETTING DOWN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TAKE A BETTER LOOK AT IT!! ITS SO MUCH MONEY FOR

THIS VEHICLE HAS 61000 MILES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALER AND TORQUE CONVERTER LOCK UP IS OUT ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO ON FRON TO HOOD THERE IS RUST DEPOSIT UNDER PAINT. I HAVE SEEN THIS ON SEVERAL DODGE GRAND CARAVANS IN SAME PLACE.
