“There is a recall on the rear quarter window switch that may overheat . I received the letter on thursday and by sunday my door caught on fire, now not only the switch must be replaced and I suppose all wiring and rest of the switches and the door interior panel should be change because of damage. I called the recall center and after two days I'm still waiting for a call with instructions as to what to do not to mention the scare me and my wife got and the expenses it will cost me because I need to rent a car until the issue is resolved.”
NHTSA complaint #10676816, filed 2015-01, 69,000 miles“Upon starting the Dodge Caravan se 2010 I closed both power passenger doors with my children in safety belts, upon entering the drivers side my child asked me to turn on the overhead lights so that she could find something that dropped on the floor with the drivers door opened, and the vehicle running I turned on the overhead lights only to have both power passenger doors open on their own. I was able to replicate this error a number of times under similar conditions, and am unable to pin point a cause. This could be a large safety defect. …”
