Driver side door does not lock or unlock with button inside or button on key fob
For no reason my right sliding door started making a buzzing sound when unlocking it. So, now every time i open or unlock the door i hear this very loud buzzing sound. I have read that this is very common with dodge grand caravans. Vehicle has never been in an accident and has never been hit in the side. This started in the fall of 2020 while in my driveway.
Passenger side sliding door stopped locking and unlocking causing a safety hazard for children and passengers in the back seat.
The actuator on the sliding back door has stopped working properly. The door will not unlock or open, causing a major safety issue. This could potentially trap me or my family in the car during a fire or wreck. Upon researching this issue, it is a common issue for doge caravans, yet dodge refuses to recall these faulty actuators. The repair runs upwards of $1000 to $1500, not something many people can afford. Not only that, but consumers shouldnt have to pay for this since dodge is knowingly installing faulty actuators. This could cause someone's death if they are unable to get out of their car during an emergency.something needs to be done about it.
The drivers side rear passenger sliding door is stuck in lock mode. The locking mechanism is stuck shut and cannot be unlocked either manually or with the remote unlock button. Therefore the door is stuck closed and can not open. Itā€™s dangerous that any backseat passenger cannot exit the vehicle through that door if they need to. Also, the passenger side door does not lock or unlock with the remote; it only locks and unlocks when the locking mechanism on the door is pushed manually. When the alarm is turned on with the remote, pulling this door open manually sets off the alarm when the door is pulled open. There were no warning lights or indicators set off prior to these issues. These issues manifested in september 2020.
The contact owns a 2017 dodge grand caravan. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly shut off and could not be immediately restarted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer (east chester chrysler dodge, 4007 boston rd, bronx, ny) were notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 61,000.
The sliding back passenger doors do not open with the remotes. They also lock up and cannot be unlocked or even opened manually. This is a huge danger as in the event of an emergency passengers cannot get out of the vehicle.
Driver side sliding door will not open and is in the unlock position. Seems to be a common problem on these. Have 4 kids so this very unsafe/ hug inconvenience. Dealer wants a unreasonable amount. Figured they would fix this by now. Same problem in other dodge van i have had.
Rear passenger door actuator buzzes, door sticks open and won't close. Started randomly.
The contact owns a 2017 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the rear driver's side sliding door failed to function properly. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 55,000.
Rear power sliding door stuck closed. The rear power sliding door appears to have no manual method of opening. When electrical components fail the passengers have no way of forcing open. The dealership had the vehicle for 2 days before being able to open the door.
My wife hit a deer going 70 mph driving northbound on i65 right after crossing the tenn. State line. The deer hit the front center and passenger front of the van andthe airbags never deployed. The airbag lights came on and stayed on but the airbags never deployed. The fender molding was ripped apart, radiator was pushed into the the engine block, passenger light was demolished and pushed in to the engine compartment, all the electric warning lights came on except the engine light and the fender well was pushed back 1/4 inch and in 1 inch into the passenger door. A red lightning bolt came on and the vehicle stopped running. Tow truck came and they were not able to get the vehicle out of park.
There is a loud buzzing sound coming from the passenger sliding door whenever the vehicle is locked or unlocked. Door actuator is failing.
I was sitting in my van, with it running at sonic, and i started smelling a terrible smell. I thought the smell was coming form outside so i rolled up the windows and the van started filling up with smoke. My daughter looked at the back seat and noticed the back charger, usb, 12 volt area was the source of smoke and we got out immediately, saw that it was on fire from the inside, it could be seen through the charger, the usb ports, and the 12 volt plug because there was nothing plugged in. My daughter threw a pop on it to put it out and we called my husband to come help us. He pulled the cover off and all of the wires were melted all of the way down the inside of the panel. I have seen recalls for previous year models for this same type of occurrence, but not for this year model. I am thankful my other children and grandson were not in the car in the backseats where the fire started. This area is on the gas tank side as well and that was a scary thought as i was supposed to travel tomorrow in this van.
The drive side sliding door locking mechanism gets stuck and will not open, close, or unlock correctly, presenting a safety issue if something were to happen and you could not get out quickly and safely. The only way to get the door working properly is to hold down the manual lock and press the button on the fob to open the door at the same time. It will work fine for a bit but then the same issue will happen. This does not seem to be an isolated incident in reading online reports.
The rear power outlet (between the middle rear set and rear set on driver side) caught fire. We were driving in ocala, fl entering the i75 highway on ramp when we saw smoke and then flames shooting from the rear power outlet.we got the kids out of the van and the fire took over the entire van.i was told an investigation was completed in june by dodge but have not been told the opinion from the investigation. *dt*tp
The transmission stopped shifting into gear (reverse and drive). The van stopped in the middle of the highway, directly in traffic. The vehicle was in drive when t stopped completely. The vehicle was screaming loudly and would not shift into gear at all. My life was in immediate danger! the electrical is turning on and off without assistance including while driving. This has happened several times prior. The dodge dealer was notified in person of my issues and concerns. Nothing was done to ensure the safety of the vehicle at any time. The vehicle has been out of service for 30 days.
Each and every time my vehicle is locked or unlocked it makes a high pitched buzzing sound. This also occurs when doors are opened after the doors have been locked as part of the automatic security when it has been operated or when they were locked when the vehicle was stationary the whole time.
Passenger side rear sliding door would not lock. Had to get a new actuator. One month later, the driver side rear sliding door was stuck in the lock position. Off to get another new actuator.
The driver side sliding door will not unlock to open. I have paid 725 at a mechanic for an actuator and labor, when i got home the door still dodnt open. I took it to an auto body shop and paid $89.00 for it to open once after greased then it jammed again. Took it back to auto body shop after 4 hours of labor turns out to be an electrical issue. The passenger sliding door is starting to jam as well.. Body shop said very soon it will close and not open as well.that's where i'm at now. . not sure if i want.to pay for an electrical issue. I've paid enough to come this far. So maybe this will save someone else the steps.
I own a 2017 dodge grand caravan gt and my rear sliding driver side door just stopped working for no reason. It is locked in position and the door won't open. I got in the vehicle one morning and while warming it up i went to open the door and it just would not open. So i went to the dealership that i purchased the van at and they checked it out and told me that the left side sliding door lock actuator is broken.
My problem with my car is that the driver and passenger airbags exploded without having a car or a car that crashed me i was driving my normal car and suddenly the air bags exploded.and the most unbelievable thing is that it is a factory fault because the day the airbags exploded they exploded i had no passenger next to me and the passenger airbag and seat belts all damaged and my passenger window is all broken. I have already called the dodge department and they do not give me any results since an impector from the dodge company already went to see my car and he said that it is a factory fault and i don't know why they can't help me with this faulti make my car and i can't drive it and i'm paying for the car and i keep losing my money without using my car please help me please
Ignition switch fail to star .when you initial is frequent almost most the time
Everytime i unlock the door or open the door (sliding left passenger door in the backseat) it makes a loud buzzing noise.it seems to be getting louder and louder and is so loud it is a distraction and can be heard from outside of the vehicle.
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.
Both sliding door locks on my dodge caravan are not working. The driverā€™s sliding door will not lock with the key fob or with the button inside the car. On the passangerā€™s sliding door side, the door is stuck in the unlocked position. The key fob or the button inside the car will not unlock it.also, it i manually lock the drivers side sliding door, it will not unlock with the key fob or inside button.this is dangerous bc iā€™m driving around in an unlocked car. Also iā€™m leaving my car unlocked. I have 4 young children. I have seen many, many complaints of this online. It is a common issue with the 2017 dodge caravan.i have called dodge and they did not deny that they knew about this.i got a quote from the dodge dealership. The lock actuators need to be replaced. I have the quote and itā€™s $1,800 to fix. This should be recalled!
While driving on the highway,, the check engine light came on along with the traction control warning light.also, the vehicle would not come out of the park position and the brake pedal could not be used to cancel the cruise control.when this was investigated it was found the brake switch/circuit needed to be replaced.
The passenger side door slams really hard when closing while on a hill and the sensor doesnt stop the door from shutting. The door slammed on my daughters foot. The vehicle was parked in my drive front facing downward.
Sliding door behind drivers side stuck in "lock" position.will not unlock.this is a very widespread problem with 100s of complaints online.
Both rear doors will not open at times from any source (ie. Handle, key, or button on upper dash). Worked fine then all of the sudden the door won't open. I am worried that if something was to happen my young daughter would not be able to get out of the car.
The temp control panel turned on by itself, i can shut it off and it will come back on. I can turn it down and it will turn the fan on full power again automatically. I have a 3 minute video of it happening all on its own.
Engine light was on, code read as a misfire in coil #2, paid $400 to have coil replaced and the light is still on. The van still shakes while driving and while in idle.
Driving down the road and the radio just randomly shuts down.screen goes black for about 10 seconds, then restarts itself.all pre-saved stations are still there but it's almost like we turned the car off, then turned it back on.happens quite a bit - about once a week or more.
My driver's side rear door is stuck in the lock position. I can't un lock it manually, i can't un lock it with the key fob or the panel button on the roof. The door will not open. This is a huge safety issue because if i'm in an accident my kids could become trapped because i can't open the door.
Door stuck in locked position, 78000 miles. Can not manually unlock or unlock with automatic opener.
Driving on highway about 75 mph with cruise set. It was almost as if the vehicle shut off, i lost all connection and my computer went whack.all the check engine lights came on etc . It slowed my car down, and reset my radio etc . But than all of a sudden it all came back on and i proceeded . But scared me and this could have caused a serious wreck. It's scheduled to go into the shop and be checked over this week.
My son was almost closed in the door getting in the van doors failed to open back up and literally almost closed him in. I had to tell him to move quickly
The rear sliding door on the driver side is stuck in the locked position and cannot be opened either manually or electronically.
While coming to a stop the vehicle will shut down.there is a ding like the a seatbelt isn't buckled, the lights flash and the vehicle just shuts down like someone turned the key off.this has happened both when the vehicle is cold and warm it starts back up but when it does the time on the radio is has to reset it self and the atc unit is all off and has to be manually resetas of now it's only happened while i was applying the brakes scared this could happen on the highway.i've only had the vehicle 2 weeks bought is used with 48000 miles on it.
2017 dodge grand caravan driver side door just stopped operating.cannot open with key fob or manually inside or out.this poses a safety concern as you cannot get in or our of vehicle on that side in the back seats.this happened all of a sudden.just stopped working as sitting in driveway.
The drive side sliding door the door won't unlock.
Driverā€™s side sliding door is stuck shut and will not unlock with key fob, the unlock buttons on the passenger and driver side doors, and also will not unlock manually. Tried opening the door with automatically with key fob button, the button located by the rearview mirror, and also opening it manually from the inside and outside, but door does not open. It was functioning properly the day before, and there were no warning signs ahead of time that there was going to be an issue with the locking mechanism. Safety concern since this could potentially happen to the other sliding door, and if in an emergency back passengers have no immediate access to an exit.
The contact owns a 2017 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the sliding door failed to open from inside or outside the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 77,724.
Are 2017 dodge grand canavan has shut of when we are driving on multiple occasions. The first major issue we had with the van, was when my wife park at the local retailer store and removed the key and it did not shut off. We took it to the dealership and they couldn't find anything wrong. It has shut of on my wife on a busy intersection and while just driving down the road; it shut of on me waiting in line for a car wash. We have taken it back to the dealership and they "can not find" anything wrong with it.
Lock actuator is stuck in the unlock position which means my kids could open the door manual while driving. Door will not lock at all on that door. Only notice it today when my son tried to open the door while that car was locked and had set off the alarm. So i have no idea on when this problem originated.
Van may or may not start, or shuts off randomly. I have replaced the battery 3 times and changed an alternator. I have noticed that other vans have been recalled for a non start, but for some reason my fan isn't included. Also my uconnect does not work. It doesn't even recognize that i have blue tooth in the car. Not happy with this van at all, i got a lemon!
On 01/28/2019,, after i opened the hood to exam the power/train and other components under the hood. I immediately noticed three wires and a yellow fuse attached to my battery/ i immediately asked "timmy" what these were and why is the engine so loud? he stated that he did not know. I asked, "may i speak to the tech that installed my transmission?" he replied, "i'm really busy.." he walked away while i was asking him questions, without any explanation or repairs. The dodge dealer installed aftermarket wiring and a fuse on my vehicle without my permission and refused to tell me what it controls and why it is needed. "timmy" also stated to me the loud rumbling noises were normal.i informed him, that is not how my car sounded prior to the transmission failing.
The van stalls while running and sometimes won't start while the interior lights flicker. While driving, the headlights dim and flicker while the interior lights are normal. I checked my battery, starter, and alternator and the mechanic tested them and said they were all good. They recommended me to go to the manufacturer and check for recalls. Please let me know what to do.
My ac went out only in the front 1/3 of the van about 3 months ago and started to have a slight buzzing sound under my dash a couple weeks ago when any electrical device is plugged into an outlet or the ac is turned on.
The driver's side sliding door became stuck in the lock position. It will not unlock manually or electrically with the power lock button or key fob. The door will not open at all.
In dec, the engine light came on. The car would do like going over speed tacks, shake, when it was between 45 to 60 mph. Took to dealership for reading, they couldn't get a good reading, it stopped. Then i paid extra for them to take transmission pan off. Told i need a new transmission. This vehicle is a 2017. This was dec 2020. Had transmission done. About 3 weeks later, engine light came on again.when i came back , 180 miles to visit family, i had it looked at again. Showing 6 coil, misfire. The car had 85000 miles. Had the 6 coil replaced, all plugs and wires. Left, drove 180 miles , next day light came on. I wasn't driving the car much and was coming back , engine light on, car ran find. Next day, was at a red light, gave gas and the car sputter like it wasn't getting gas and wanted to died. I push on the gas paddle and hurried to get to my dad's. Had a reading saying it was catalytic converted. After the weekend i took it to muffler shop. Said it wasn't giving them that reading, but misfire and 6 coil. Took to a mechanic, he replace 6 coil and said plugs where good, that they were new. But, i did need an air filter. Got car. Few hours later, engine light was back on. Reading showed coil and misfire. Going back to mechanic, again. After a red light stop, it felt like it was going to died as if it wasn't getting gas. I gave it more gas. They change everything again, even cross parts to make sure. It idles hard in park or sitting in drive. More gas it seems to do ok. Also, about 6 months after buying it, had to replace battery. 2013 was in it. So, much for wanting to retire, this car has put me into debt. I wish i had stayed with a toyota. Own 6 and never , cost me more than regular service. And again, misfire reading, coil 6. Within a month ,twice its been replaced and plugs and still back like it was. Since end of dec, been in shop 4 xs, same reading,same crap.

The blower only works on heat, and only rear controls. Still not normal amount of heat. Front do not not work unless it is on defrost, barely enough heat displaced on wind shield causing visibility in the winter to be horrible. The amount of visibility is less than 45% of windshield. 10550 miles currently.

Front passenger door unlatched while the vehicle was in motion and will not latch. Door can not be shut and remain latched rendering the vehicle inoperable. This also happened to the driver side door and was repaired on 01/06/20
Passenger side sliding door actuator stopped working and is stuck in the locked position preventing opening of the door from the outside or inside or with the key fob. Door will not open at all which is a huge safety risk in case of emergencies and someone needs to get insideor out of the vehicle quickly. No inspection has been done except by me though i have seen hundreds of others complaining of the same issue with this make and model. No warnings or messages for this either. This needs to be a recall fix for obvious safety reasons.
Doors won't open or unlock with key fob, roof panel buttons or manually. This happens randomly. Back sliding doors will also randomly open when van is parked and turned off.
My ac went out only in the front 1/3 of the van about 3 months ago and started to have a slight buzzing sound under my dash a couple weeks ago when any electrical device is plugged into an outlet or the ac is turned on.
My van shut off for no apparent reason . I couldn't steer it and the brakes wouldn't work . Tried to turn it back on and it did . I have a brand new battery on there .

I was driving down a main road all the lights came on in my dash car started beeping, radio came on, windshield whippers came on at high speed, ac came on, lost the ability to steer vehicle or brake with mileage screen switching to different options within that screen. Car been at dealer since the day after still do not have vehicle back or a diagnosis of what or why vehicle went into this state.
Vehical has a code for cylander 4 misfire. This causes my remote start to not work and the vehical is running rough. New spark plugs did not fix the problem.for a two year old vehical it should be reliable but i find myself relying on my 88 s10 more than our two year old van. Reading up on the 3.6l engine i am concerned that it may have the problem with the cylinder head as with many other caravan 3.6l but my vintage is somehow not affected. I can reset the code and drive but as soon as i park the code comes back
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.
The contact owns a 2017 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that after having an oil change, the check engine warning light illuminated continuously. In addition, the rear passengerā€™s side door failed to open from the inside or outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the vehicle needed a tune-up. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,400.
Oil filter housing unit fails because of over tightening done by person that is doing the oil change.dodge personnel told me directly there should be a recall because the part is defective but dodge refuses to do it.part isn't even in stock because they can't keep up with the demand to replace them.
Oil filter adapter/oil cooler. While getting the transmission replaced that had a total failure at 110,000 miles while enroute to get the recommended 120,000 mile service, the dealer informed us that the oil cooler had a decent sized crack near the base and required replacing. They told us the could order the part but wouldn't know when it would be in because there were 14,772 units on back order. He searched the system and found 1 available 2 hours away. I left the dealer and drive straight there and it too was gone with no projected arrival of more. I was told if i kept the oil topped up and kept an eye on it, it would be ok and not cause engine damage. I have not spent enough on oil to keep it topped up that i could have paid for the part of it we're available. Online aftermarket sources are sold out with no idea when they'll get more. As of 09:30, 15 march 2021, the parts department of landers cdjr in bossier city, louisiana confirmed that there are now over 15,000 units on back order and when requesting to order, they don't even have an estimated wait time. Went direct with dodge and was told that they would 'escalate the review to try and get the part to the dealer'. Not sure how that will happen when they don't have a supply to meet the demand. Each dealer i've called in a 6 hour radius from my location has said it should be a recall with it being such a faulty design of plastic resting directly on top of the motor but that fiat won't do that. My biggest concern is the oil leaking down, sprays on to the exhaust creating the potential for a fire hazard.
On 01/28/2019,, after i opened the hood to exam the power/train and other components under the hood. I immediately noticed three wires and a yellow fuse attached to my battery/ i immediately asked "timmy" what these were and why is the engine so loud? he stated that he did not know. I asked, "may i speak to the tech that installed my transmission?" he replied, "i'm really busy.." he walked away while i was asking him questions, without any explanation or repairs. The dodge dealer installed aftermarket wiring and a fuse on my vehicle without my permission and refused to tell me what it controls and why it is needed. "timmy" also stated to me the loud rumbling noises were normal.i informed him, that is not how my car sounded prior to the transmission failing.
Cylinder 6 misfire due to a compression issue due to faulty head. Only has 56k miles on it. Resulting in stalling out and lack of power when accelerating.
About 1 week ago my check engine light came on. The code reader said it was a p302, misfire in #2. The vehicle idles rough and sometimes stalls while driving. Other 2017 grand caravans have had a recall for a very similar reason, but my vin is not included in that. I feel it should be. Also the company has extend its engine warranty on cylinder heads to 10 years or 150,000 miles on 2012 caravans with same engine with the same problem.now the want $3,600 to fix what seems to be a inherent problem with that engine.not fair!1 affected product
Ses for p0306 misfire cylinder 6 durable to premature head warping. Dodge states a known problem. This could cause power loss during acceleration.
Takata recall engine oil cooler cracked at the base causing engine oil to leak over the top of the engine and down the manifold. This may cause a fire at the manifold area resulting in a possible injury to the driver. This happens when the car is moving and at idle.
The oil cooler which holds the oil temperature switch and oil pressure switch and oil filter housing is made of plastic and sealed to aluminum intake manifold with bolts and rubber o-rings.this part is cracked and leaking oil at top end on a hot engine; oil leaks down onto bottom of transmission and onto roadway/driveway.car has only 60,000 miles.from looking at you tube videos and google searches, i found many cases of this.hard to understand why recall has not already been made for something so potentially dangerous and obviously a defective part.expenses to repair should be paid for by chrysler/dodge if recall comes after us owners spend the thousand dollars to so for parts and labor.engine leaks when running whether parked or moving on street or highway.
Loss of engine power while driving. When it happens, there's also loss of powering steering and brakes. This has happened more than a dozen times on city streets and highways. It's been taken to a dodge dealership. I'm told they can't find the problem. It's happened twice this week going to work on january 28 & 29, 2020.
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.
I got the vehicle yesterday and the check engine light was on so the dealer do a obd 2 scan and it show a miss fire in the number 2 cinders so we was think it just need spark plugs so i took it to dodge and had new spark plugs put on and it did nothing to fix the problem so they suggested it was the fuel injecter for the number 2 cinders so i had them replaced it and that didn't fix the problem so they came back to told me they think it is the heads in the van the check engine light stays on and i only feel the miss fire when i am idling no other time the guy at dodge said they run into this alot with this year and others i have done some research and find alot of people r having the same problem i am starting to think is could be a manufacturing problem tomorrow i am taking the van somewhere else to have a second opinion done
About 6 months ago my check engine light came on. The code reader said it was a misfire in #2. The vehicle idles rough and sometimes stalls while driving. While driving on the highway we got stuck in traffic, the vehicle stalled. Thankfully it started right back up. Another instance, i was backing out of my driveway, i stopped because a car was coming,when i proceeding to back out the car stalled. Spark plugs and engine coal were changed. Did not fix the problem. Other 2017 grand caravans has a recall for a very similar reason, but my vin is not included in that. I feel it should be.
In dec, the engine light came on. The car would do like going over speed tacks, shake, when it was between 45 to 60 mph. Took to dealership for reading, they couldn't get a good reading, it stopped. Then i paid extra for them to take transmission pan off. Told i need a new transmission. This vehicle is a 2017. This was dec 2020. Had transmission done. About 3 weeks later, engine light came on again.when i came back , 180 miles to visit family, i had it looked at again. Showing 6 coil, misfire. The car had 85000 miles. Had the 6 coil replaced, all plugs and wires. Left, drove 180 miles , next day light came on. I wasn't driving the car much and was coming back , engine light on, car ran find. Next day, was at a red light, gave gas and the car sputter like it wasn't getting gas and wanted to died. I push on the gas paddle and hurried to get to my dad's. Had a reading saying it was catalytic converted. After the weekend i took it to muffler shop. Said it wasn't giving them that reading, but misfire and 6 coil. Took to a mechanic, he replace 6 coil and said plugs where good, that they were new. But, i did need an air filter. Got car. Few hours later, engine light was back on. Reading showed coil and misfire. Going back to mechanic, again. After a red light stop, it felt like it was going to died as if it wasn't getting gas. I gave it more gas. They change everything again, even cross parts to make sure. It idles hard in park or sitting in drive. More gas it seems to do ok. Also, about 6 months after buying it, had to replace battery. 2013 was in it. So, much for wanting to retire, this car has put me into debt. I wish i had stayed with a toyota. Own 6 and never , cost me more than regular service. And again, misfire reading, coil 6. Within a month ,twice its been replaced and plugs and still back like it was. Since end of dec, been in shop 4 xs, same reading,same crap.

Driving on highway about 75 mph with cruise set. It was almost as if the vehicle shut off, i lost all connection and my computer went whack.all the check engine lights came on etc . It slowed my car down, and reset my radio etc . But than all of a sudden it all came back on and i proceeded . But scared me and this could have caused a serious wreck. It's scheduled to go into the shop and be checked over this week.
The engine stops for no reason and does not show a check engine light. The engine can be re-started, but can then stop again for no reason. We have had the transmission worked on, but there are still issues.
Van engine stops periodically if there is an abrupt/panic stop. On a fast stop, the engine rpm is erratic, and sometimes feels like it is going to stop. Putting the van in park or neutral, and you can start the engine again. So far, this has only happened in city driving.
The rpm is inestable, the transmission hard shift, coolant sistem of engine have problem
Vehicle check engine light came on. Took vehicle to licensed garage for analysis. The code 2 indicated a replacement of the coil and sparkplugs need to be done. After mechanic changed items, the check engine light came on again. Took vehicle back to mechanic and after research and spending $604.71 in repair charges, my mechanic, after conferring with dealership personnel was advised there was a problem with the #2 cylinder.

They denied same stating that i did not have the vehicle serviced at a dealership initially.prior to the repair the vehicle would hesitate and balk when driving.this is my daughters vehicle [xxx] along with our 2 grandchildren. Chrysler did not admit to a vehicle problem with this engine until my mechanic went to the dealership. Warranty repairs were then made.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

This 2017 grand caravan has a common problem with the rocker arms becoming loose which causes a ticking sound. This seems to be common with the engine size and in dodge products. I'm not mechanic but failing rocker arms seems very unsafe!
Vehicle makes loud winding noise when accelerating.
Vehicle's powertrain stalled on two occassions.once after stopping at red light, and second time (weeks later) on interstate in stop and go traffic.on each occasion engine continued to run but transmission would not engage.i had to stop, put in neutral or park setting, then shift to drive to get powertrain to re-engage.
The transmission stopped shifting into gear (reverse and drive). The van stopped in the middle of the highway, directly in traffic. The vehicle was in drive when t stopped completely. The vehicle was screaming loudly and would not shift into gear at all. My life was in immediate danger! the electrical is turning on and off without assistance including while driving.

The vehicle has been out of service for 30 days.

This has occurred now at least 12 times in the last year. The middle row seats. After fastening the seat belts, they unbuckle. I had car seats with children buckled and all a sudden they tell me it came unbuckled while driving and i have to stop and lock it again. In fact one time it wouldnt lock again and had to put them in the back row. I tested it myself and buckled them and pulled slightly on them and they came unbuckled without pressing the unbuckle button.this is a seriously dangerous problem in an accident with children in car seats that the belts come undone. It just happened yesterday again.
Driver seat belt would not fasten . Lower section of seat belt was replaced by dealer on 07/23/2019..
The contact owns a 2017 dodge grand caravan.

My husband pulled into a parking space. He placed the caravan in park and left it running. I had to run into the restaurant to grab the pizza. After i had closed the passenger door the headrest popped apart. I know that it is a safety feature and only goes off if there is an impact. There were zero impacts or accidents. There was a parked car on the drivers side but no one was in it.
Passenger front seat headrest deployed while vehicle was parked. No collision occurred to initiate this. I see this is a huge issue online with to s of caravan owners. This really should be recalled before someone gets really hurt if sitting in one of these seats and it occurs without reason!
The front passenger seat is being ripped and shredded by a sharp metal part of the seat frame that protrudes into the side of the seat cushion. The frame is covered by the plastic seat base.
Vehicle purchased used 3/3/19, supposedly with no problems with brake system. Two months later rear brakes are grinding away at rotors, calipers are getting stuck, and there was a fire on driver's side rear brakes.
I bought 2017 dodge grand caravan. Now, the car has 34,940 miles. When i pus the brake when the car speed above 40 miles/hour, the car vibrates. I think the rotor is warped. It is dangerous on the highway because this problem. Talked to dodge dealership and called dodge customer care. They both told me it is not covered by the 36month/36,000mile warranty. Searched on the internet, a lot of owner complained the brake problem about dodge grand caravan. Experienced mechanics indicated this is a design issue. Dodge doesn't have a good enough brake for this car. This problem exists for many years and dodge still unwilling to redesign or cover this design flaw. Dodge should provide special warranty to cover this design flaw and it is a great safety issue nhtsa take the leadership to ask dodge fix this common problem related to their design.
I was driving down a main road all the lights came on in my dash car started beeping, radio came on, windshield whippers came on at high speed, ac came on, lost the ability to steer vehicle or brake with mileage screen switching to different options within that screen. Car been at dealer since the day after still do not have vehicle back or a diagnosis of what or why vehicle went into this state.
The brake switches on these vehicles may malfunction, keeping the brake lights illuminated. This is the same warning in the recall for 2017 dodge caravans, yet my vin is not included in the recall, and chrysler is refusing to fix. The current recall says " chrysler (fca us llc) is recalling certain 2017 dodge caravan and jeep wrangler vehicles. The brake switches on these vehicles may malfunction, keeping the brake lights illuminated and/or allowing the vehicle to be shifted out of the park position without the brake pedal being pushed."
My van shut off for no apparent reason . I couldn't steer it and the brakes wouldn't work . Tried to turn it back on and it did . I have a brand new battery on there .
I drive a 2017 dodge grand caravan. Last week, as i was driving my children to their grandmothers house, i noticed the steering wheel shaking. I regained control and made it to my moms house and dropped off the children. As i left her house and made it back to the road, the van became hard to steer. It started jerking to one side and wobbling. I called the dealership where i purchased my van and was told to bring it in immediately. The day after bringing the van in, i returned to dealership and they showed me what was wrong with the van. It was lifted up into the air and i was showed that the rear axle on the driver side had been broken. There was 2 mechanics there and one suggested that i had been in a collision or hit a big pothole. The other said that it couldn't have been a driver error because of the way the break on the axle was bent as well as the lack of any scratches or damage to any other area of the van. My tires and rims show no damage, and the undercarriage of the van also shows no sign of hitting a pothole, as there are no scratches anywhere under the van. One of the mechanics said it could have been something wrong with the axle because of the bent way it was broken and he also noticed that it showed signs of it being already cracked because the metal appeared to be old on one spot and fresh on another. I highly deny hitting anything like a pot hole or having been in a collision there is absolutely no damage to any part of my vehicle save the broken axle. *dt

The contact owns a 2017 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the driver's side rear electronic sliding door was inoperable. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 46,870.
Rear power sliding door stuck closed. The rear power sliding door appears to have no manual method of opening. When electrical components fail the passengers have no way of forcing open. The dealership had the vehicle for 2 days before being able to open the door.

I was traveling with my family of 4, back from a vacation. Traveling at about 65 mph with traffic on wet interstate highway.2 lane highway transitioned from black top to a concrete bridge, slight bump.we heard a loud crack and thud, and the rear of vehicle began to go sideways, as i fought for control. Braking caused the vehicle to further become unstable until i reduced speed and slowly pulled off the busy road and found the damage.the left side control arm of the beam axel assembly cracked and the suspension on the left side was only attached via the shock and coil spring. We slowly exited the highway and limped to a gas station to park and call for a long distance tow to my servicing dealer by my home 135 miles away. We needed an uber and a rental car to get back home.van is currently parked at my dealer, awaiting for a technician to get it looked at as of 4/12/2021

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.

The van just shuts off while driving, no warning, no check engine light, no codes pulling up. It just turns off in the middle of the road. I'm greatful i wasn't on the freeway or traveling at a fast speed. Put it in park and restarted it fine and drove for awhile and it just shuts off again. I have seen many complaints of these van's just shutting down....it should really be looked into for this year nake and model considering that there is a recall for other years makes and models for the same reason. Hopefully no one has to die before this is looked into. There is no warning , no check engine light, no codes. Very dangerous.

Now it opens and closes, but makes a buzzing, crunchingsound when the auto lock kicks in when driving, and periodically makes the noise for no reason. Only been 2 days since it would open and waiting for it to become stuck or another issue. Sure is loud.

While driving on the highway in a 2017 dodge grand caravan with cruise control engaged at the posted speed of 70mph, the cruise failed to disengage with the depression of the brake, or by trying to turn the cruise off.the accelerator was stuck; and the floor mat was checked to see if this was jamming the system.

I drive a 2017 dodge grand caravan. Last week, as i was driving my children to their grandmothers house, i noticed the steering wheel shaking. I regained control and made it to my moms house and dropped off the children. As i left her house and made it back to the road, the van became hard to steer. It started jerking to one side and wobbling. I called the dealership where i purchased my van and was told to bring it in immediately. The day after bringing the van in, i returned to dealership and they showed me what was wrong with the van. It was lifted up into the air and i was showed that the rear axle on the driver side had been broken. There was 2 mechanics there and one suggested that i had been in a collision or hit a big pothole. The other said that it couldn't have been a driver error because of the way the break on the axle was bent as well as the lack of any scratches or damage to any other area of the van. My tires and rims show no damage, and the undercarriage of the van also shows no sign of hitting a pothole, as there are no scratches anywhere under the van. One of the mechanics said it could have been something wrong with the axle because of the bent way it was broken and he also noticed that it showed signs of it being already cracked because the metal appeared to be old on one spot and fresh on another. I highly deny hitting anything like a pot hole or having been in a collision there is absolutely no damage to any part of my vehicle save the broken axle. *dt

I was driving down local highway where speed limit is 50mph and road conditions are bumpy and uneven. Also there is a railway crossing. I was going about 48mph when my low tire pressure light came on. I did not feel a difference in the way my vehicle was driving or hear anything such as flat. I went directly to the gas station straight ahead of me. When i got out to inspect my vehicle i noticed my back drivers side tire was flat. After further examination i noticed it looked to almost have a slit like puncture to the side wall. Note i had not hit any curbs and my vehicle is kept in a garage.
