OUR SLIDING DOOR HAS SEIZED UP IN THE LOCK POSITION. WE ARE UNABLE TO OPEN IT AT ALL. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS ON ONE SIDE BUT NOW THE OTHER SIDE IS SOUNDING LIKE IT MAY GO AS WELL. HAVING DOORS WE CAN NOT OPEN IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE WE ARE COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH OUR CHILDREN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS A 2016 DODGE CARAVAN AND JUST BROKE 60K MILES. AVERAGE FIX IS OVER $1100 AND THE MECHANICS ARE ALL TO FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR MAKES A LOUD OBNOXIOUS BUZZING SOUND WHEN IT IS UNLOCKED. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE ACTUATOR UNLOCKS THE DOOR. WE ARE CONCERNED AS IT IS A SIGN OF A FAULTY PART THAT COULD AT SOME POINT FAIL COMPLETELY CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. MANY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THIS EXACT SAME PHENOMENON. APPARENTLY A GEAR WITH PLASTIC TEETH IS WEARING DOWN AND A WORM GEAR IS GRINDING ON THE TEETH. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE TOTAL FAILURE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM.

BOTH SLIDING DOORS ON MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING WITH NO WARNING GIVING. I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS AN SEEN THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO DODGE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. UNABLE TO OPEN THE SLIDING DOORS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND PUTS PEOPLE LIVES IN DANGER ON A DAILY BASIS DUE TO NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. I AM REACHING OUT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSE THEIR LIFE TO THIS OR EITHER SOMEONE KIDS. IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY WITH AN FIRE, OR AND ACCIDENT AND PEOPLE NEED TO VACATE IMMEDIATELY THERE WILL BE LIVES LOST.

IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS THE BOTH SLIDING DOORS OF THE VAN HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY. TODAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 BOTH DOORS DO NOT OPEN AND STAY IN THE LOCK POSITION. IT IS ONLY ABLE TO OPEN BY PULLING THE LOCK TOWARDS UNLOCK POSITION AND THEN PULL THE HANDLE. THE KEY FOB AND THE OPEN DOOR BUTTONS IN THE CAR DO NOT WORK AND THERE IS A SLIGHT CLICK SOUND SOMETIMES BUT THE DOOR STAYS LOCKED. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS IF WE WERE TO CRASH OUR CHILDREN AND OR PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR!!!!! SEEMS LIKE IT IS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW DODGE OWNERS.
