ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR NO REASON MY RIGHT SLIDING DOOR STARTED MAKING A BUZZING SOUND WHEN UNLOCKING IT. SO, NOW EVERY TIME I OPEN OR UNLOCK THE DOOR I HEAR THIS VERY LOUD BUZZING SOUND. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH DODGE GRAND CARAVANS. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS NEVER BEEN HIT IN THE SIDE. THIS STARTED IN THE FALL OF 2020 WHILE IN MY DRIVEWAY.

I HAVE A 2017 DODGE CARAVAN ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT MY HAZARD LIGHTS STARTED ACTIVATING WHEN MY MIDDLE SLIDING DOORS WOULD OPEN. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT SAFETY FEATURE, WHILE BEING CONFUSED WHY IT HAD JUST STARTED HAPPENING 1 DAY. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER MY LOCKS WOULD AND STILL MAKE A DISTRACTING BUZZING SOUND WHEN THE DOORS GET LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. IS THERE A SAFETY RECALL ON ANY OF THESE ISSUES?

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IN NOV 2020. I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS INFORMED OF A SMALL OIL LEAK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE PART AT THIS TIME SAID THEY ARE NOT SURE WHEN IT WILL COME IN. MEANWHILE I AM DRIVING IN A VAN THAT IS STILL LEAKING AND TOLD JUST TO CHECK IT WEEKLY AND TO IT OFF IN THE MEANTIME. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU CAN HELP OUT IF I SHOULD DIRECT THIS TO YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE. I SAW THIS INFO ON NHTSA.GOV. ANY GUIDANCE HOW TO REPORT THIS ISSUE WOULD HELP. I HAVE SEEN VIDEOS THAT SAY THIS USUALLY OCCURS IF SOMEONE TORQUES THE FILTER TO TIGHT. THIS IS THE FIRST OIL CHANGE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND THE LAST PAGE THAT DID THE OIL CHANGE WAS THE DEALERSHIP IN OCT 2020. I'M SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE WARRANTY THE DEALERSHIP SOLD ME DOESN'T COVER THIS ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL EVEN BE RESOLVED. I DON'T WANT TO RISK THE LEAK GETTING WORSE AND I DON'T CATCH IT OR MY VAN CATCHING ON FIRE. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT LOCK, OR UNLOCK, WITH EITHER THE FOB OR WITH THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. I NEED TO TAKE THE PHYSICAL KEY OUT OF THE FOB AND MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR TO GET INSIDE. ONCE INSIDE THE VAN, I NEED TO REMEMBER TO MANUALLY LOCK THE MY DOOR, BECAUSE IT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK LIKE THE REST OF THE DOORS. ONCE I EXIT THE VAN, I NEED TO PUSH THE LOCK DOWN BECAUSE THE FOB WILL NOT LOCK IT. IT ONLY HAS 66,000 MILES.

THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF. THE DEALER REPLACED A COMPUTER CHIP, BUT THE ENGINE STILL SHUTS OFF. IT FIRST HAPPENED IN MAY 2020. IT SHUTS OFF ABOUT EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. IT HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTED, WHEN ACCERATING, WHEN SLOWING DOWN, AND/OR WHEN STOPPING. IT'S ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY FOOT SLIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE SURGED WITH AN AUDIBLE REVVING, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RESULTING IN A COLLISION. IDLING OR NEAR IDLING IN COLD WEATHER SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENT ISSUE, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY TIME IT HAS NOT BEEN OVERRIDDEN BY APPLYING THE BRAKE.

I OWN A 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN GT AND MY REAR SLIDING DRIVER SIDE DOOR JUST STOPPED WORKING FOR NO REASON. IT IS LOCKED IN POSITION AND THE DOOR WON'T OPEN. I GOT IN THE VEHICLE ONE MORNING AND WHILE WARMING IT UP I WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IT JUST WOULD NOT OPEN. SO I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VAN AT AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME THAT THE LEFT SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS BROKEN.

SUSPENSION
WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE CONVERSION BY FR CONVERSIONS INCLUDES A REPOSITIONED REAR SUSPENSION PANHARD ROD, THE SOLE LATERAL STABILITY LINK FOR THE AXLE. THE REPOSITIONED CHASSIS MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE PANHARD ROD SEPARATED FROM THE VAN IN A STRAIGHT-ROAD SINGLE VEHICLE HIGHWAY ROLLOVER CRASH. EVIDENCE CURRENTLY SUPPORTS THAT THIS BRACKET MOUNTING (WELDED TO THE CONVERSION'S SHEET METAL) MAY HAVE PARTIALLY FAILED PRIOR TO THE ROLLOVER CRASH. THE LOSS OF FUNCTION OF A PANHARD ROD REDUCES VEHICLE CONTROLLABILITY. THIS COMPLAINT SUBMITTED BY A THIRD PARTY NOT INVOLVED WITH THE INCIDENT.
