ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Loud buzzing sound when left rear sliding door locks. Apparently it is an actuator or something. Terrifying because the doors lock when you start driving. It is startling me each time. Door recently would not open. It is not opening but the buzzing is loud and new.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
This is the second time my driver side window motor has gone out. I know this is not a normal wear a d tear issue. The shifting column had the plastic cover just pop off(I guess the glue melted or it wasn't even secured in the first place. Driver side seat plastic covering over the switches disconnected from whatever it was connected too. As much as these cars are priced and sold, might as well by power wheel toy, because that's the quality. The control panel keeps flickering for the passenger doors and trunk. It's hit or miss if the rear hatch opens and sometimes we open the idimf door and it will close halfway to opening. I have had the car multi point inspected at a dodge dealership in January due to the sliding door malfunction as well as a major oil leak and repaired but the amount of electrical issues has been ongoing since purchase!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Was driving onto a narrow 2 lane elevated bridge when, without warning, the engine just stopped. There were no warning lights or sounds before or after the engine stopped. I was stranded on this bridge on busy route U.S 17 and no other drivers could go around me because of construction barriers. Eventually some other drivers that were stuck behind me helped me push vehicle to crest of bridge and I coasted to the bottom of the bridge and got out of the roadway. Vehicle was towed to Dodge dealer because it would not restart. Dealer diagnosed problem as Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). Cost to repair was $1382. It became quite apparent to me that Chrysler-Dodge has made a fortune replacing these parts on many of their vehicles, to the level that would indicate that there is some defect in the design or manufacturing of these parts. I have since read hundreds of stories about other drivers left stranded in the roadway over this issue. Certainly seems dangerous enough to warrant a safety recall over these numerous part failures.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The drivers side passenger door (slider) opens and shuts but must not be fully latching because you can hear the motor in the door trying to latch and it sounds like its continually trying to latch and just keeps going off when it's super hot out and it has now killed the battery in the van. When I was able to drive the van it would chime and say the door was open and continue sounding like it was trying to latch. We bought the van at the end of February so I have no idea if it ever happened to the previous owner.

As I was sitting in a parking lot today o heard this loud boom that sounded as if I had been rear ended and felt what seemed to be a blow to my head. I looked around and there were no cars around and got out of the vehicle to see what happened and it was the headrest that burst open. It ended up hurting my head and neck and could have potentially caused an accident had this happened while I was driving. There were no other signs of something happening and no warning lights. Dealer was not notified.

As my vehicle was parked; we came out to my passenger headrest being deployed by itself. No accident/incident happened. Self deployed. Just glad no one was in it at the time. As this just happened, I haven’t had time to report it to the dealership due to it being Sunday. No warnings or lights came on when this happened. It just self deployed. After more research it looks like this has been happening for years. Why isn’t this recalled?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The rear sliding door on the driver side started having a buzzing noise when the door auto locks or when the power lock is used. My local Dodge dealership said the lock actuator is going bad and will eventually cause the door to pop back open causing a safety hazard. They also said they have changed countless actuators on these vans. I feel there should be a recall on these to correct this issue.

Came out to vehicle to drive and noticed driver side headrest was deployed forward and came apart. The vehicle was not in an accident and there were no prior alarms or notifications on the dash system to indicate this would happen. Luckily the headrest didn't deploy while someone was driving. The Dodge dealer says this repair or replacement is not their responsibility. This issue has not currently been resolved.

The headrest on the driver's seat deployed while the vehicle was parked in a parking lot. I am glad that this did not happen while I was driving down the road. I have not had the opportunity to contact the dealer about this concern yet. There was not any warning of the deployment of the headrest.

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED IN MY 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT RETAIN THE METAL LOCK BAR (NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS CALLED) BROKE. THIS CANNOT BE DISENGAGED AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK MY VAN. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO RECALLS ARE IN PLACE FOR THIS. THIS IS INSANELY DANGEROUS.
