2016 Dodge Grand Caravan complaints

DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR STUCK LOCKED SHUT. CANT EVEN MANUALLY UNLOCK

FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN AUGUST 2017.I HAD SERVICE DONE BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR STOPPED WORKING AND DID NOT OPEN. SECOND INCIDENT - THIS AUGUST 2019 THE SAME DOOR STOPPED WORKING AND DOES NOT OPEN. THIRD INCIDENT - NOW MY PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT OPEN EITHER. BOTH SLIDING DOORS CURRENTLY DO NOT OPEN. THEY ARE LOCKED WITH NO MANUAL WAY TO UNLOCK OR OPEN. THESE DOORS ARE FAULTY AND A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE TO SMALL CHILDREN THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, ARE NOT ABLE TO ESCAPE. DODGE SERVICE CENTERS AREN'T ABLE TO PROVIDE COURTESY VEHICLES DURING THE REPAIR, WHICH ACCORDING TO MY EXPERIENCE, WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 3-4 DAYS TO REPAIR THE FAULTY SLIDING DOOR. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE SLIDING DOORS. IF THE SAME ISSUE KEEPS HAPPENING WITH THESE DOORS, THEN THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE USERS. THE ISSUE IS IN THE MECHANISM OF THESE SLIDING DOORS.

THE ORC TURNED ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THEN TURNED OFF. NOW STAYS ON FOR A LONG TIME AND CHIMES. EVEN WHEN I'M PARKED AND THE CAR IS RUNNING, STAYS ON.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING OUR USED 2016 DODGE CARAVAN R/T WITH UNDER 30000 MILES, THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCK BEGAN MAKING A LOUD BUZZING NOISE WHENEVER LOCKING OR UNLOCKING. NOW AT 33000 MILES THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS DOING THE SAME THING. THIS COSTLY REPAIR IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT CONSIDERING THE LOW MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND HOW COMMON IT SEEMS TO BE AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH.

THE VAN WAS IN PARK, OFF, LOCKED AND UNOCCUPIED, IN MY DRIVEWAY, ON A LEVEL SURFACE, WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT HEADREST SAFETY SYSTEM DEPLOYED. IT WAS DISCOVERED WHEN WE WERE PREPARING TO LEAVE. THE PLASTIC TABS ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEADREST APPEAR TO HAVE BROKEN, ALLOWING IT TO MOVE UP AND FORWARD.

PASSENGER SIDING DOOR WASN'T LOCKING AT ALL WITH POWER LOCK. NOW IT WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK, BUT BUZZES LOUDLY WHEN DOING SO. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL, AND APPEARS TO LEAD TO THE DOOR NOT WORKING AT AL.

THE SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS HAVING CHILDREN IN THERE CAR SEAT AND CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR TO GET THEM OUT. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE CAR GURUS SITE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY SAY DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, BUT WILL REPAIR IT FOR $$$$. I WAS IN A STORE PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO UNLOCK TO GET MY GRANDSON OUT. THE DOOR STILL WILL NOT UNLOCK.

WHEN HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON EITHER DOOR, THE RIGHT BACK SLIDING DOOR MAKES A LOUD BUZZING NOISE. IT MAKES THIS NOISE ANY TIME WE HIT UNLOCK.

BUZZING NOISE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR EVERY TIME THAT I UNLOCKED THE DOOR, FROM INSIDE THE CAR AND WITH THE KEY.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THERE IS A LOUD BUZZING WHEN THE ELECTRIC LOCKS UNLOCK. IT BEGAN ABOUT A WEEK AGO. IT DOES IT EVERY TIME YOU SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE LOCKS DISENGAGE.

THIS IS MY 3 TOWN & COUNTRY MINI VAN. HOWEVER THE LAST TWO I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SEAT BELTS GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE SEAT BELT RETRACTION SYSTEM AND EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO TEAR. THIS HAS COMPROMISED THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. OUR 2008 MINI VAN WAS WITHIN WARRANTY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AND THEREFORE WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT FIXED. NOW WE HAVE A 2016 TOWN AND COUNTRY AND AT LEAST 4 OF THE 7 SEATBELTS ARE FRAYING.. THE FACT THAT IT'S HAPPENING TO NEARLY ALL THE SEAT BELTS MAKES ME THINK THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW.

SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVER SIDE IS NOT OPENING, WILL NOT EVEN UNLOCK. CONCERNED FOR KIDS SAFETY, BUT HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE

WHEN I COLLAPSE THE SECOND ROW SEATS IN MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, THE HEAD REST SNAP DOWNWARD, EXTREMELY FAST WITH A POWERFUL FORCE. I AM REQUIRED TO PULL ON A HANDLE ON THE DOORSIDE OF THE SEAT, WHICH BEGINS THE AUTOMATIC PROCESS OF THE FOLDING OF THE CHAIR, TO EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO STORE THE SEAT IN THE FLOOR OF THE VAN, FOR CARGO SPACE. THE FIRST TIME I ATTEMPTED TO STORE THE SECOND ROW PASSENGER SEAT, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, I PLACED MY LEFT HAND ON THE INSIDE, UPPER PART OF THE SEAT, WHERE YOUR RIGHT SHOULDER MIGHT BE IF YOU ARE SITTING IN THE SEAT. WHEN I RAISED THE HANDLE TO COLLAPSE THE SEAT, THE HEAD REST, SLAMMED DOWN ON MY LEFT ARM. IT WAS PAINFUL, IT FELT LIKE MY LEFT ARM MAY HAVE BEEN FRACTURED, AND IT WAS BADLY BRUISED FOR MORE THAN A MONTH. THE NEXT TIME I WAS CLIPPED BY THE HEAD REST, I WAS PULLING UP ON THE HANDLE AND AT THE SAME TIME INSTINCTUALLY REMEMBERED WHAT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, AND IN AN ATTEMPTED TO PULL MY ARM OUT OF HARM'S WAY, MY LEFT WRIST WAS SMASHED UNDER THE FORCE OF THE HEADREST. MY MOST RECENT INJURY FROM THE HEAD REST MALFUNCTION, WAS A BASH TO MY HEAD WHILE COLLAPSING THE PASSENGER SIDE SECOND ROW SEAT. I WANTED TO TALK TO SOME ONE AT DODGE ABOUT THIS, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A CONTACT FOR THESE MATTERS. I AM GLAD I FOUND YOUR SITE. I HOPE NO ONE ELSE HAS HAD THE SAME, OR EVEN SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THESE EVENTS TOOK PLACE.*DT*DT *JS

DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR (POWER) WILL NOT OPEN. I'VE TRIED THE KEY FOB, THE BUTTON IN THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE, AND THE BUTTON BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT AND NOTHING HAPPENS.

THIS IS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN R/T WITH MILEAGE READING 99570. THE ENGINE IS THE 3.6L FLEX DOHC. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT CHECKED IT CODED FOR A MISFIRE IN NUMBER 2 CYLINDER. PAID FOR A FULL TUNE UP. LIGHT CAME BACK ON NEXT DAY TOOK THE VAN BACK TO BE CHECKED AGAIN. THEY DID ANOTHER FULL TUNE UP IN CASE OF A POSSIBLE FAULTY PART.CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC THERE SAID THAT IT'S A COMMON IN THESE ENGINES AND WE MAY COULD CHECK TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. AFTER LOOKING AROUND ON THE INTERNET SEEN WHERE THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS TO DODGE AND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR THE SAME THING AND IT'S ABOUT A $3000 FIX

BOTH SLIDING, REAR DOORS OF MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN (LESS THAN 40,000 MILES) ARE LOCKED IN PLACE. BOTH DOORS WILL NOT OPEN USING EITHER ELECTRIC SWITCHES OR MANUAL HANDLES AND LOCKS. FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR STOPPED FUNCTIONING, AND THEN 5 DAYS LATER THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING ALSO STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THERE IS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE TO OPERATE THE DOOR, UNLESS THE INTERIOR PANELS ARE REMOVED, AND ONE CAN DISENGAGE THE MECHANISMS. THIS IS APPARENTLY A REGULARLY OCCURRING SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE HAS NOT ADDRESSED.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, CHECKED #2 CYLINDER MISSFIRE, HAD THE COIL CHANGED, THE FUEL INJECTOR CHANGED, LIGHT CAME BACK ON. 73000 MILES, DODGE RECALLED THE 2016 GRAND CARAVAN JUST NOT MY VIN NUMBER,I CALLED AND THEY WILL NOT DO THE REPAIR FOR FREE EVEN THOUGH SAME MODEL YEAR HAS THE SAME DEFECT, #2 CYLINDER

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,092.

DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK MANUALLY OR WITH THE ELECTRONIC MECHANISM. THIS CAUSES THE DOOR TO NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN. THANK GOD THERE WAS NOT AN EMERGENCY THAT REQUIRED QUICK ACCESS TO MY 17 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AS I HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH THE OTHER DOOR TO GET HER OUT. THE DOOR OPENED PERFECTLY FINE TO PUT HER IN THE CAR. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I'M SEEING HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND THERE ARE STILL NO RECALLS. THIS COULD BE A DEADLY ISSUE. WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF???

DRIVERS SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR IS LOCKED AND UNABLE TO BE OPENED USING THE KEY FOB OR BUTTONS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY EITHER. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN VIA ALL METHODS THE MESSAGE 'UNLOCK DOOR TO OPERATE' SHOWS ON THE MESSAGE PANEL IN THE DASH. ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY AND VIA KEY FOB AND BUTTONS INSIDE THE VEHICLE HAVE NO EFFECT. THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY ONE DAY, NO INTERMITTENT FAILURE LEADING UP TO THIS. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR ONE MONTH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF WE WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE CHILDREN FROM THE BACK SEAT WHO ARE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THEIR OWN SEATBELTS.

ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS MAKE A BUZZING SOUND WHEN LOCKING AND AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS THE DOOR LOCKS ARE COMPLETELY JAMMED SHUT. BOTH REAR DOORS AFFECTED AND NUMEROUS MENTIONS ONLINE OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MODELS. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY DOORS CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY OR VIA REMOTE TO ALLOW PASSENGERS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS DENIED A CLAIM TO REPAIR OR ISSUE A RECALL AND HAS ADVISED ME THAT THEY WAIT UNTIL THE NHTSA DIRECTS THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK THAT EXPOSES PASSENGERS TO BEING CONFINED IN THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN THE LOCK IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. THIS CREATES A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR IS LOCKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. TWO DAYS LATER, THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED. THE DOOR HAS BEEN LOCKED SHUT FOR 1 MONTH NOW. WHEN I LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS FROM THE DOOR HANDLE, SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER DOOR WOULD OCCASIONALLY LOCK, BUT NOT UNLOCK WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WOULD UNLOCK. THE ENTIRE LOCK SYSTEM MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS IF I WERE TO GET IN A WRECK. SINCE THERE ARE NO MANUAL LOCKS, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT ALL DOORS BE LOCKED AND MY FAMILY (3 KIDS) WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL. IT WILL REQUIRE A TECHNICIAN TAKING FRONT DASH APART AND REPLACING A WIRELESS SENSOR. IF THIS IS SO COMMON, WHY NO WARRANTY WHEN IT'S A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE? 55,000 MILES, 2016 MODEL.

THE DRIVING SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS BECOME STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. IT IS UNABLE TO BE OPENED MANUALLY OR WITH THE REMOTE OR BUTTONS. I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE REMOTE TO PUT MY CHILD IN THE CAR. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR AN EMERGENCY SITUATION I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY INFANT OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY AND SAFELY.

A FEW MONTHS AGO THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STOPPED OPERATING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR IS STUCK IN LOCK POSITION AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AT ALL. TODAY THE OTHER SLIDING DOOR (DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR) STOPPED WORKING, LOCKING MY 4 MONTH OLD, 2 YEAR OLD AND 4 YEAR OLD IN THE REAR OF THE VAN. WE WERE ABLE TO CLIMB OVER THE MIDDLE CONSOLE IN THE FRONT SEAT TO GET THE CHILDREN OUT. IF THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, ALL OF OUR LIVES COULD'VE BEEN IN DANGER DUE TO THE DOORS NOT OPENING. I'VE RESEARCHED IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG DODGE/CHRYSLER VANS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING.

THE LATCH WAS REPLACED, BUT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTERWARDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN. WE HAVE TRIED EVERY WAY WE CAN TO UNLOCK IT --- KEY FOB, OVERHEAD DOOR OPENER, DRIVERS SIDE ELECTRIC LOCK, AND EVERY COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE --- BUT IT WILL NOT OPEN OR UNLOCK!! THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD..... NO ONE CAN GET OUT OF VEHICLE IN CASE OF FIRE OR ACCIDENT, THE DOOR WILL JUST NOT OPEN NO MATTER WHAT WE TRY!! ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET.....HUNDREDS OF DODGE GRAND CARAVAN'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!! THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED OVERNIGHT, WITH NO WARNING. WE CAME HOME, UNLOADED GROCERIES THAT EVENING AND LOCKED THE DOORS. THE NEXT MORNING THE DOOR WOULDN'T UNLOCK OR OPEN. ALL OTHER DOORS OPEN AND ARE WORKING FINE.
