THIS 2017 GRAND CARAVAN HAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ROCKER ARMS BECOMING LOOSE WHICH CAUSES A TICKING SOUND. THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH THE ENGINE SIZE AND IN DODGE PRODUCTS. I'M NOT MECHANIC BUT FAILING ROCKER ARMS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR ABOUT A MONTH THE VAN'S LOCK SYSTEM TO THE DOORS WOULD MAKE A BUZZING NOISE WHEN YOU UNLOCK OR LOCK THEM. SINCE FRIDAY, AUGUST 9TH 2019, THE BACK SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK. THIS COULD CAUSE A HAZARD TO SOMEONE IN THE BACK, THAT NEEDED TO GET OUT OF VAN IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VAN IS STOPPED, OF COURSE I WOULD NOT TRY OPENING IT, IF VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THIS SHOULD BE AN AUTOMATIC FIX FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE OF SAFETY DUE TO PASSENGERS. THANK YOU!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I HAD A MINOR COLLISION WHERE A CAR BACKED INTO ME AS I WAS DRIVING FORWARD AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. MINOR BODY DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. HOWEVER, ALL OF MY FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. INSURANCE, THE ESTIMATOR, EVERYONE, IS SHOCKED THEY ALL DEPLOYED, OR THAT ANY DEPLOYED CONSIDERING HOW MINOR THE COLLISION WAS. MY VAN, UNBEKNOWNST TO ME, HAD A KNEE AIRBAG. THE KNEE AIR BAG EXPLODED AGAINST MY SHINS, CAUSING EXTENSIVE BRUISING, CUTS, AND GOUGES WHERE THE COVER AND CASING SHOT OUT ONTO MY LEGS LIKE SHRAPNEL. IT FELT LIKE A BOMB OF SHARP GLASS WENT OFF AGAINST MY SHINS AND KNEES, THERE WAS BLOOD ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAD TO GO TO THE ER TO GET THE WOUNDS CLEANED UP AND THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO HEAL WEEKS LATER. *DT CONSUMER STATED CAR IS AT INSURANCE AUTO AUCTIONS. *JB *DT PHOTOS ATTACHED.*JB *DT *DT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB *DT *TR *DT*DT*JB
