Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The power locks have quit working on the rear sliding doors where my children sit. No way to unlock doors from outside to remove children in case of accident. The doors will not open from the inside unless manually pulled up. This is a very very common problem with Dodge. Only one manual key hole to unlock van on drivers door. This is very dangerous for passengers especially children.”

It has been in the shop twice for the same issue and is continuing to have the problem. When we had it in the last time we were told chrysler was working on the problem and would have something during the month of august ... Well I phoned sept 11 12:15 pm and was told at that time they still had heard nothing in regards to the issue. It started out that the van would not shift into gear when coming to a stop ... Feels like the transmission is going to drop out at times. …”
