Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2017 record →
THE TEMP CONTROL PANEL TURNED ON BY ITSELF, I CAN SHUT IT OFF AND IT WILL COME BACK ON. I CAN TURN IT DOWN AND IT WILL TURN THE FAN ON FULL POWER AGAIN AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE A 3 MINUTE VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING ALL ON ITS OWN.
PASSANGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCK IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSOTION. IT WILL NOT UNLOCK MANUELLY, KEY FOB OR USING THE UNLOCK BUTTONS IN HT FRONT OF THE VAN.
MY VAN SHUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON . I COULDN'T STEER IT AND THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK . TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT DID . I HAVE A BRAND NEW BATTERY ON THERE .
DOOR STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION, 78000 MILES. CAN NOT MANUALLY UNLOCK OR UNLOCK WITH AUTOMATIC OPENER.
THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR HAS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, AND IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE, I WOULD HAVE TO GO AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE TO GET MY INFANT OUT OF HER CAR SEAT.*DT
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY,, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE PARK POSITION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL COULD NOT BE USED TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN THIS WAS INVESTIGATED IT WAS FOUND THE BRAKE SWITCH/CIRCUIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. HAD TO GET A NEW ACTUATOR. ONE MONTH LATER, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WAS STUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION. OFF TO GET ANOTHER NEW ACTUATOR.
MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR IS STUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION. I CAN'T UN LOCK IT MANUALLY, I CAN'T UN LOCK IT WITH THE KEY FOB OR THE PANEL BUTTON ON THE ROOF. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT MY KIDS COULD BECOME TRAPPED BECAUSE I CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR.
REAR PASSENGER DOOR ACTUATOR BUZZES, DOOR STICKS OPEN AND WON'T CLOSE. STARTED RANDOMLY.
DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR STUCK SHUT WITH MY MOM IN THE SEAT, SHE IS HIGHLY CLAUSTROPHOBIC, SHE ALMOST HAD A PANIC ATTACK BY THE TIME WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE OTHER SIDE UNLOADED SO SHE COULD SLIDE OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. THIS WAS A SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUE FOR MY 76 YEAR OLD MOTHER, WHAT IF BOTH SIDES HAD STUCK SHUT, SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD A HEART ATTACK BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET HER OUT. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND NOW. DOOR STILL STUCK LOCKED SHUT AND THERE WAS NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENED, IT JUST DID. SHE IS SCARED TO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE NOW BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE STUCK INSIDE AGAIN.
THE DRIVE SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM GETS STUCK AND WILL NOT OPEN, CLOSE, OR UNLOCK CORRECTLY, PRESENTING A SAFETY ISSUE IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN AND YOU COULD NOT GET OUT QUICKLY AND SAFELY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE DOOR WORKING PROPERLY IS TO HOLD DOWN THE MANUAL LOCK AND PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE FOB TO OPEN THE DOOR AT THE SAME TIME. IT WILL WORK FINE FOR A BIT BUT THEN THE SAME ISSUE WILL HAPPEN. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT IN READING ONLINE REPORTS.
BUZZING NOISE FROM PASSENGER RIGHT SIDE DOOR WHEN UNLOCKING VEHICLES
CYLINDER 6 MISFIRE DUE TO A COMPRESSION ISSUE DUE TO FAULTY HEAD. ONLY HAS 56K MILES ON IT. RESULTING IN STALLING OUT AND LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING.
SMELL OF GAS EMITTING FROM UNDER VEHICLE. WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WINDOWS UP, IT CAN BE SMELLED, WHEN PARKED AFTER DRIVING CAN SMELL GAS ALL THE WAY AROUND THE VEHICLE, WHEN IDLE TO COOL OFF INTERIOR. FUEL CAN BE SMELLED ON FIRST APPROACH. MY WIFE AND KIDS HAVE ALL SMELLED IT IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS OF VEHICLE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN LOCAL HIGHWAY WHERE SPEED LIMIT IS 50MPH AND ROAD CONDITIONS ARE BUMPY AND UNEVEN. ALSO THERE IS A RAILWAY CROSSING. I WAS GOING ABOUT 48MPH WHEN MY LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I DID NOT FEEL A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING OR HEAR ANYTHING SUCH AS FLAT. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE GAS STATION STRAIGHT AHEAD OF ME. WHEN I GOT OUT TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE I NOTICED MY BACK DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT. AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION I NOTICED IT LOOKED TO ALMOST HAVE A SLIT LIKE PUNCTURE TO THE SIDE WALL. NOTE I HAD NOT HIT ANY CURBS AND MY VEHICLE IS KEPT IN A GARAGE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EXCEED 30 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (23 N US-12, FOX LAKE, IL 60020) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. *LN*JB
THE FRONT LOCKS FOR FOR THE TWO FRONT DOORS DOES NOT LOCK PROPERLY. THE LATCHING LOCK MECHANISM DOES NOT ENGAGE. THE ALARM WILL SET AND GO OFF IF EITHER OF THE DOORS IS OPENED BUT THEY ARE NOT LOCKED. WHEN DRIVING AND THE SPEED GOES OVER 25MPH THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS DO NOT ENGAGE AND LOCK THE VEHICLE. I WILL INVESTIGATE FURTHER TO SEE IF THERE IS A PART IN NEED OF REPLACING.
SLIDING DOOR LOCKS AND WON'T OPEN OR UNLOCK. DOORS ARE AUTOMATIC DOORS. DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY. *TR
MY REAR DOOR MAKES A LOUD BUZZ WHEN I UNLOCK IT AND APPARENTLY IT IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE IN THE CARAVAN AND WON'T OPEN FROM THE AUTOMATIC BUTTONS.
THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS STRUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION. ONCE CLOSED IT IS UNABLE TO OPEN. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN IT WITH THE FOB OR INSIDE UNLOCK BUTTON. *TR
SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK AND THEREFORE WILL NOT OPEN. NOTHING HAPPENED, JUST STOPPED WORKING. CANNOT UNLOCK IT USING ANY OF THE BUTTONS AND CANNOT MANUALLY UNLOCK IT. VAN IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE DOOR OR VAN. MAY CREATE UNSAFE SITUATION IF UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THAT DAMAGES OTHER DOORS. *TR
THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WAS STUCK SHUT IN THE LOCKED POSITION FOR 3 MONTHS. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME ALMOST $1000 TO BASICALLY REPLACE MOST OF THE DOOR, THIS DIAGNOSIS WAS DONE WHILE DOOR WAS STUCK SHUT. I FINALLY GOT IT OPEN BY PUSHING ON THE UNLOCK BUTTON AND PRESSING THE KEY FAB UNLOCK AT THE SAME TIME (SOMETHING I READ ON THE INTERNET). NOW IT OPENS AND CLOSES, BUT MAKES A BUZZING, CRUNCHING SOUND WHEN THE AUTO LOCK KICKS IN WHEN DRIVING, AND PERIODICALLY MAKES THE NOISE FOR NO REASON. ONLY BEEN 2 DAYS SINCE IT WOULD OPEN AND WAITING FOR IT TO BECOME STUCK OR ANOTHER ISSUE. SURE IS LOUD.
THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR MAKES A LOUD BUZZING SOUND WHENEVER IT IS UNLOCKED. *TR
THE PASSENGER DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. IT IS POWER IT WILL NOT OPEN WITH ANY OF THE BUTTON IT WILL ALSO NOT OPEN MANUALLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IF I WAS IN A ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING AND NEEDED TO GET THAT DOOR OPEN I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR. IF THE OTHER DOOR BREAKS I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE MY CAR AT ALL. I'M EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT NEEDED THAT DOOR AND NOT BEING ABLE TO AND SOMETHING HAPPENING TO MY CHILDREN. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF LUCK AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO GET FIXED MY SELF. I WOULD NEED TO FIRST PAY FOR THE DEALER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS AND PAY AROUND 1,000 DOLLARS FOR IT TO BE FIXED. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS HAPPENED TO VANS. PLEASE HELP WITH PROBLEM MANY FAMILIES IN DANGER WITH THESE DOOR NOT OPENING AT ALL. I'M TERRIFIED FOR MY CHILDREN WITH THIS DOOR NOT OPENING AT ALL. *TR
THE PASSENGER REAR SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION, CANNOT MANUALLY UNLOCK, AND WILL NOT OPEN. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED IN THE PARK POSITION AND COULD NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR
DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AND IS IN THE UNLOCK POSITION. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE. HAVE 4 KIDS SO THIS VERY UNSAFE/ HUG INCONVENIENCE. DEALER WANTS A UNREASONABLE AMOUNT. FIGURED THEY WOULD FIX THIS BY NOW. SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER DODGE VAN I HAVE HAD. *TR
MY AC WENT OUT ONLY IN THE FRONT 1/3 OF THE VAN ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND STARTED TO HAVE A SLIGHT BUZZING SOUND UNDER MY DASH A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN ANY ELECTRICAL DEVICE IS PLUGGED INTO AN OUTLET OR THE AC IS TURNED ON. *TR
THE VAN JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, NO WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO CODES PULLING UP. IT JUST TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I'M GREATFUL I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY OR TRAVELING AT A FAST SPEED. PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT FINE AND DROVE FOR AWHILE AND IT JUST SHUTS OFF AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THESE VAN'S JUST SHUTTING DOWN....IT SHOULD REALLY BE LOOKED INTO FOR THIS YEAR NAKE AND MODEL CONSIDERING THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER YEARS MAKES AND MODELS FOR THE SAME REASON. HOPEFULLY NO ONE HAS TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS LOOKED INTO. THERE IS NO WARNING , NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO CODES. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES. THE DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,000.
THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER SLIDER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, IT LITERALLY JUST STOP WORKING. NONE OF THE BUTTONS IN THE CAR WORK TO OPEN IT OR THE KEY FOB. THE DOOR IS STUCK IN THE "LOCKED" POSITION. I READ ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES FROM HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE. THIS NEEDS RECALLED AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO GET MY KIDS OUT OF THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY?!?! *TR
DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING BACK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. LATCH WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY UNLOCK. SAFETY HAZARD AS NOBODY CAN GET OUT THAT BACK DOOR. 2017 CARAVAN GT 66K MI
THE OIL COOLER WHICH HOLDS THE OIL TEMPERATURE SWITCH AND OIL PRESSURE SWITCH AND OIL FILTER HOUSING IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND SEALED TO ALUMINUM INTAKE MANIFOLD WITH BOLTS AND RUBBER O-RINGS. THIS PART IS CRACKED AND LEAKING OIL AT TOP END ON A HOT ENGINE; OIL LEAKS DOWN ONTO BOTTOM OF TRANSMISSION AND ONTO ROADWAY/DRIVEWAY. CAR HAS ONLY 60,000 MILES. FROM LOOKING AT YOU TUBE VIDEOS AND GOOGLE SEARCHES, I FOUND MANY CASES OF THIS. HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY RECALL HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN MADE FOR SOMETHING SO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART. EXPENSES TO REPAIR SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY CHRYSLER/DODGE IF RECALL COMES AFTER US OWNERS SPEND THE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO SO FOR PARTS AND LABOR. ENGINE LEAKS WHEN RUNNING WHETHER PARKED OR MOVING ON STREET OR HIGHWAY. *TR
LOCK ACTUATOR IS STUCK IN THE UNLOCK POSITION WHICH MEANS MY KIDS COULD OPEN THE DOOR MANUAL WHILE DRIVING. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL ON THAT DOOR. ONLY NOTICE IT TODAY WHEN MY SON TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THAT CAR WAS LOCKED AND HAD SET OFF THE ALARM. SO I HAVE NO IDEA ON WHEN THIS PROBLEM ORIGINATED. *TR
THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY
ESTABA CORRIENDO NORMALMENTE Y DE MOMENTO LE DI GASOLINA Y NO RESPONDI AL CAMBIO Y COMO QUE SE ACELERO(HIZO UN RUIDO FUERTE) Y DIO UN CANTAZO COGI EL CAMBIO Y ARRANCO DE MOMENTO. LUEGO SE LE PEGO UN RUIDO COMO SI UNA MANGA ESTUVIESE RASPANDO ALGO Y LA PARE. NO LA HE USADO MAS, PRIMERO POR MIEDO QUE ME PASE ALGO CON MIS HIJOS Y LUEGO POR LA CUARENTENA DEL COVID19. AGRADECER ME INFORMEN QUE PUEDE HACER, DONDE PUEDO LLAMAR O QUE PUEDO HACER. NO PUEDO LLAMAR A NINGN LUGAR YA QUE TODO ESTA CERRADO. LA GUAGUA TIENE GARANTA. GRACIAS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR ELECTRONIC SLIDING DOOR WAS INOPERABLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT YET NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,870.
BOTH SLIDING DOORS ARE STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION. CANNOT BE OPENED WITH KEYFOB, MANUALLY, OR WITH THE OVERHEAD BUTTON IN THE CABIN. THE DOORS MAKE A CLICKING NOISE EVEN WHEN THEY TRY TO OPEN.
BOTH REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN AT TIMES FROM ANY SOURCE (IE. HANDLE, KEY, OR BUTTON ON UPPER DASH). WORKED FINE THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE DOOR WON'T OPEN. I AM WORRIED THAT IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR.
THE VAN STALLS WHILE RUNNING AND SOMETIMES WON'T START WHILE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER. WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS DIM AND FLICKER WHILE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE NORMAL. I CHECKED MY BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR AND THE MECHANIC TESTED THEM AND SAID THEY WERE ALL GOOD. THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO GO TO THE MANUFACTURER AND CHECK FOR RECALLS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO.
VAN MAY OR MAY NOT START, OR SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES AND CHANGED AN ALTERNATOR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER VANS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR A NON START, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY FAN ISN'T INCLUDED. ALSO MY UCONNECT DOES NOT WORK. IT DOESN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THAT I HAVE BLUE TOOTH IN THE CAR. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS VAN AT ALL, I GOT A LEMON!

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
