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.
Transmission is dead at 74640 miles, luckily it died before me getting on the turnpike. I was at a light and when the light turn red I was going to go and a loud noise happened and it wouldn't go forward.
Every time the electrical door locks on the driver side sliding passenger door is locked while either driving or using the fob there is a very loud buzzing sound. The auto door locks is messed up and should be fixed by the dealership and not cost the owner about 1500$.
I have had the engine and transmission rebuilt and the car is not quite four years old. The rear ac has been fixed, the T.V. that came with the car has been repaired. The door locks have been fixed. The fuel injected have been repaired and now I am having problems with the Cadillac converter. It car has had so many problems and a lot of the problems were some of you recall. I will never get another Dodge.
Drivers side door will not open. Manually or by remote. It is stuck in lock mode. Serious safety issue! I have an infant in a carseat and 3 other children that this impacts! if we were in an accident someone could die!!
Automatic second row passenger doors and or locks are sealed shut. The doors cannot be opened or closed and are sealed completely and totally shut. There is no manual over ride system to manually open and close the doors or to manually unlock the doors to open them. These are the doors that children use to get in and out of the vehicle as these are the seats that children, toddlers, and babies ride in. These doors are completely and totally sealed shut and cannot be opened manually. They may or may not be locked and cannot be unlocked manually either. The auto mechanic cannot get inside of these door panels to find out what is wrong even after stowing the seats as there is also no way to get the door panels off from the inside of the car while the doors are sealed shut. You have to open the doors to get the door panels off to look inside of the doors to see what is wrong. But, you cannot do this because the doors are sealed shut. Faulty and defective design and engineering! serious safety issue for children! mechanic cannot get any information from Dodge about how to fix problem. Doors have been sealed shut for 6 months. Cannot get in or out of either door in second row. No manual override of any kind to use doors as manual doors. Automatic door design and automatic lock design are defective and present a serious safety issue. Dodge not telling dealers or mechanics how to fix this either. It is a mystery and Dodge is not sharing information to get it fixed.
My rear drivers side door lock will not move back to unlock. The key fab, the dome button, not the door handle will move the lock position to open the door. I noticed it after I was driving and turned off the car. It happened after the car was started and then shut off after driving it.
I have a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan and every time I unlock the door or lock it it makes this loud buzzing noise, the door works fine it opens and close. But when using the unlock button from the key everyone can hear the load buzzing noise took the car to dealer and they stated the problem was a faulty door lock actuator. They want $650 dollars to fix the problem.
The rear driver side sliding door will not open. One day it just stopped working. This car was not even 1 year old when this happened only 40,000 miles on the car. I have came to the conclusion this is a common problem among Dodge Caravan but this is a huge safety issue. Most people that purchase a minivan have young children and having a door that doesn't open poses a serious risk in an emergency. I have read many post with people having the same issue and hopefully they will file a complaint as well.
Passenger side sliding door makes loud buzzing noise when locking or unlocking the doors. I have researched the issue and it appears other people have had the same issue with this make and model.
The passenger sliding door is stuck in the locked position and will not open. The lock electronic lock switch will not disengage, the automatic door mechanism will not work, and the door will not function in manual mode. As a van with passengers in the back, this is posing a safety hazard with people having to exit the van on the side facing traffic. If the drivers side sliding door fails in a similar fashion, a greater safety would result if people cant egress the vehicle. The local Dodge dealer indicates this is a common issue and that there is no recall for this issue.
The locking mechanism on my side door is making a loud buzzing noise - like it's not working correctly. I did some research and I'm not the only one having this problem. I don't think that I should be responsible for what looks to be a defect.
The liftgate will not open. Somedays it will open by push button or by the fob, but when it stops working it will be weeks before it starts to work again. The liftgate wont open manually which can be a safety hazard if there was a. emergency. The car is parked when this happens.
The lock switch went out on vehicle after having it for 2 years. The ac unit in the back half goes in/out. The transmission is going out on the car after having it for 3years in May.
