THE LEFT SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM FAILS AND STICKS IN THE LOCK POSITION. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT HAS BEEN CLEAR THAT THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH DODGE GRAND CARAVANS. IF I WOULD NEED TO GET MY BABY OUT QUICKLY FROM THIS SIDE OF THE VAN, THE LOCK MALFUNCTIONS AND THIS IS A HIGH SAFETY PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING MY VAN, THE RPM'S WOULD INCREASE, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER, TRIED TO PUT THE VAN IN PARK, THE ENGINE SHIFTED EXTREMELY ROUGH BEFORE GOING INTO PARK. THE AUTO BODY SHOP IS QUOTING ME FOR OVER $5,000.00 TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION.

THE DRIVER SIDE, REAR SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WHEELCHAIR VAN WITH 38,806 MILES IS LOCKED SHUT. THIS HAPPENED ON APRIL 10, 2021. CANNOT ACCESS THE PERSON IN THE WHEELCHAIR IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN CASE OF A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS DEFECT APPEARS TO AFFLICT THIS DODGE VAN. THE DEFECT PART IS AN ELECTRICAL ACTUATOR THAT LOCKS/UNLOCKS THE SLIDING DOORS.

MY DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR UNLOCK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS ITS THE ACTUATOR. WHICH IS COSTLY TO REPAIR AND A SAFETY HAZARD. I READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DOOR BEING STUCK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN COMING OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. OR WHAT IF THERES AN ACCIDENT AND WE CANT GET THE DOOR OPENED TO GET EVERYONE OUT SAFETLY.

THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK TO OPEN. I HAVE PAID 725 AT A MECHANIC FOR AN ACTUATOR AND LABOR, WHEN I GOT HOME THE DOOR STILL DODNT OPEN. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND PAID $89.00 FOR IT TO OPEN ONCE AFTER GREASED THEN IT JAMMED AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO AUTO BODY SHOP AFTER 4 HOURS OF LABOR TURNS OUT TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS STARTING TO JAM AS WELL.. BODY SHOP SAID VERY SOON IT WILL CLOSE AND NOT OPEN AS WELL.THAT'S WHERE I'M AT NOW. . NOT SURE IF I WANT.TO PAY FOR AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I'VE PAID ENOUGH TO COME THIS FAR. SO MAYBE THIS WILL SAVE SOMEONE ELSE THE STEPS.

SUSPENSION
I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY OF 4, BACK FROM A VACATION. TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MPH WITH TRAFFIC ON WET INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. 2 LANE HIGHWAY TRANSITIONED FROM BLACK TOP TO A CONCRETE BRIDGE, SLIGHT BUMP. WE HEARD A LOUD CRACK AND THUD, AND THE REAR OF VEHICLE BEGAN TO GO SIDEWAYS, AS I FOUGHT FOR CONTROL. BRAKING CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO FURTHER BECOME UNSTABLE UNTIL I REDUCED SPEED AND SLOWLY PULLED OFF THE BUSY ROAD AND FOUND THE DAMAGE. THE LEFT SIDE CONTROL ARM OF THE BEAM AXEL ASSEMBLY CRACKED AND THE SUSPENSION ON THE LEFT SIDE WAS ONLY ATTACHED VIA THE SHOCK AND COIL SPRING. WE SLOWLY EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND LIMPED TO A GAS STATION TO PARK AND CALL FOR A LONG DISTANCE TOW TO MY SERVICING DEALER BY MY HOME 135 MILES AWAY. WE NEEDED AN UBER AND A RENTAL CAR TO GET BACK HOME. VAN IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT MY DEALER, AWAITING FOR A TECHNICIAN TO GET IT LOOKED AT AS OF 4/12/2021

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BACK PASSENGER SEAT SLIDING DOOR LOCK BUZZES WHEN UNLOCKED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS WITH THE KEY FOB, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THE ASSUMPTION BEING MADE IS THAT THIS IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 35,644 MILES, THUS THIS ISSUE SHOULD BOT BE OCCURRING. NOTHING HAS BEEN NOTED VISUALLY THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS NOISE WHEN UNLOCKING VEHICLE DOORS. CURRENTLY THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED AND CLOSED. THIS DOOR LOCK PROBLEM MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN IN ITSELF, OR IF THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, THEN THERE IS A LARGER CONCERN. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE BASED ON RESEARCH COMPLETED PRIOR TO FILING THIS CONCERN. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THE 2016 MODEL. THANK YOU.
