The drivers side sliding door stopped working. It won't unlock or open with the key fob or with the button inside or manually. It was working fine and 30 minutes later it won't do anything. I looked on line and many other people are having the same issue with different years of this vehicle. This is also a huge safety issue.

The driver side sliding door is stuck in the lock position. The key fob won't work nor the button inside. Cannot manually unlock or open the door. The other doors work fine. I checked on line and there are many other people who have had and are having the same issue with different years of the vehicle. This is a huge safety issue. What if I am in an accident and cannot get my kids out of the back. The door was working fine and 30 minutes later nothing. It is a 2016 and this should not be happening.

2016 Grand Caravan. Driver's sliding door just froze-- wil not open electronically or manually. The lock is stuck in the locked position and the power door lock switch won't move door's lock to the 'unlock' position. When you try to move the lock/unlock button/lever on that sliding door, it's stuck in the locked position--even exerting force the lever cannot be moved to the unlocked position-- to much force feels like I'm going to break the lever. The door is in the locked position and is not able to be opened. This is the 2nd time this has happened on this same door

Driver side sliding door is stuck in lock position and will not open. Opened fine and after a 20 minute car ride it was then stuck. I have reviewed several forums regarding this similar problem, and have seen countless reports on the name issue. Should there be an emergency of any sorts, the passengers in the back would not be able to get out safely.

Sliding door locks jammed and not working...stuck. Can't open the door manually either. This is dangerous because can't get kids out from the back especially during emergency situation. Dodge should recall all sliding door actuator or whatever is causing this stuck lock on sliding doors to open.

I loaded all of my children in my van to go do a walmart pick up. All of the doors were working fine. We got home from doing our pick up, and the back driver side door would not open. All of the children had to get out of the other side, and climb over a baby car seat. We tried to get the door open from the inside, and the outside, we tried to disengage the locks, but it seems as though they are permanently stuck. If I get into a wreck, this is a safety hazard. Simultaneously, the door on the passenger side in the back will not lock at all. These are both hazards which should be recalled, and fixed immediately! I believe it has something to do with the electrical system, however I am no mechanic. I am not the only one who has had this problem, I have been researching the problem and there are many. I just want to drive a car that is safe for my children, and my van has less than 50K miles on it, I bought it brand new off of the lot. This should not be a problem I am experiencing.

Left rear door lock is inoperative. Door will not unlock with remote (power lock) or manually. About a month ago, the power lock started failing intermittently. As of 5/6/2020, the lock is frozen in the locked position. This appears to be a common issue with this vehicle from model years 2010 forward, linked to a failed door lock actuator. This is a safety hazard in that rear passengers will have great difficulty exiting the vehicle in case of an emergency.
