The rear sliding doors opened, I loaded my child and gear into the van. When we reached our destination, the dies would not unlock or open, trapping her in the car. We had to have her climb into the passenger seat and exit that way. The van was parked, engine off.
I've had the vehicle since literally 1 year 6 months ago the passenger rear door stopped locking/unlocking I searched for answers online and found forums with this door actuator issue I see it as a hazard because due below average use it went out what if the other 1 goes out then I lose access to the rear of my vehicle in an emergency or anything most people says it's at least $650 fix which is 2 months worth of car payments I can't afford
Oil housing unit failed at 72,000 miles. Dodge stated it should be a recall, they can't even keep up with the parts to replace it when it fails. They told me to use an after market part that would fail but it would at least get the car back in my possession.

There needs to be a recall on my car's front seat active head restraints. I received a letter from Fiat Chrysler automobiles (fac) stating that my front seat active head restraints may inadvertently deploy. Fac offered me an extended 10 year warranty. I consider their offer of a 10 year warranty to be negligent. This needs to be a recall. I consider it serious that I could be driving down the road and get bumped in the head by my active head restraint.
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?
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.
Could mean the difference between life and death. 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan driver's side sliding door will not unlock. This a safety issue because it prevents the passengers in the back from exiting quickly in case of emergency. In the case of parents with children in car seats they are unable to get the child out safely.

The front locks for for the two front doors does not lock properly. The latching lock mechanism does not engage. The alarm will set and go off if either of the doors is opened but they are not locked. When driving and the speed goes over 25mph the automatic locks do not engage and lock the vehicle. I will investigate further to see if there is a part in need of replacing.
