This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The automatic door locks on both rear sliding doors failed two times each. Three times they failed in the unlocked position and van could not be secured - a major safety hazard since the doors could not be manually locked (e.g., theft). Other failed in the locked position and could not be manually unlocked. When fixed by dealer, dealer noted that this is a common problem. Recommend requiring recall. Fyi - I am a safety engineer for the us army.
Driver's side sliding door continues to come off and door lock continues to be faulty. Will unlock at times and not latch or close correctly. Dealer contacted, and repairwork attempted approximately five times. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
Driver's side slifing door was working fine. Then on 1/24/99 we tried to open door to get my son out of his car seat, but the door would not open. It seemed like it was still locked. So my husband unlocked it again with the key. It still would not open. On 1/28/99, I took the car to a bertera dealer in palmer, MA (closer to home, ) and they checked the fuel door safety mechanism and it was ok. So they called Chrysler Corp and was informed that sometimes the lock activator seizes up. The entire inside door panel must be removed to fix the problem. Possibly need to replace the part if broken.
While driving up the driveway vehicle cuts off. Had no warning. Also, the gauges on dashboard do not work like they should, especially, odometer/fuel and pressure gauges. In addition, brake rotors had to be replaced twice/sliding doors cannot be opened properly with or without key. Vehicle towed to dealer to check out problems.
The sliding doors lock the owner out of the vehicle, and sometimes they lock the owner in the vehicles. Also the doors do not close sometimes. Has been to dealer about 8 times, still no solution.
At 17,000 miles the brake rotors were replaced because of a corrosion problem. Driver experienced a vibration problem with the brakes. The rotors are being replaced again at 46,000 miles. Also, the sliding door on the passenger's side does not unlock at all times.
Consumer's sliding door of right side does not work properly. Sometimes he can open from outside and not from the inside, other times it's just the opposite.
While driving at or about 65 mph the passenger's side sliding door became ajar. Manufacturer contacted, is willing to replace the locks on the door. The locks have been repaired/replaced five times before this incident occurred.
Sliding door locks: Door locks stick and break.the doors jam shut which makes the door unable to open. Locks has been replaced three times on this vehicle. Dealers don't know why this continues to happen.
