“I was driving up a busy intersection and my 2018 Dodge caravan stopped randomly in on going and on coming traffic and I couldn't start it. I have had the car for 8 months and I keep up with maintenance. My family was afraid because cars were driving up fast behind us in a narrow two way street.”
NHTSA complaint #11403531, filed 2021-03, 79,000 miles“The driver-side rear sliding door has locked and will not unlock manually, with door unlock button, or by key fob. When trying to unlock manually the mechanism rubber bands back to the lock position as if the locking mechanism in the door is stuck. This presents a safety hazard in case of emergencies. This luckily happened as I was going to put my son in the vehicle before leaving my home.”
NHTSA complaint #11318026, filed 2020-03, 25,000 miles“Bought the van in december of 2019. A few months ago I noticed that the van wasn't accelerating/shifting when going up hills. It delayed started one night and I had to shift if off and restart it. My front A/C stopped working and kicks on randomly. The doors don't automatically lock until a few minutes after being put into drive. Back right door doesn't lock. Recently took it to my mechanic and was informed that there is burnt wiring and possible plugged cad. Converter.”
NHTSA complaint #11329307, filed 2020-06, 49,000 miles“The passenger rear sliding door has locked and will not open manually, with button, remote and overhead button. This presents a safety hazard incase of emergencies. Upon further research, it seems this is a common problem with Dodge grand caravans and have cost customers more than $1,000 for repairs. This should be recommended for a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11309037, filed 2020-02, 61,000 miles“Passenger side sliding door will not lock properly. When vehicle is parked, locking and setting alarm on the vehicle with the key fob the sliding door can still be opened. The door will not lock. Dealer advised that door locking actuator was bad and estimated $1,650 to repair. This appears to be a manufacturing defect.”
