During park rear passenger door would not open from the inside manually and electronically, someone from the outside has to open the door. The unlock mechanism is up but the door button from the inside would not push down, therefore not allowing the van door to open. This is big safety problem, no one can get out manually and electronically from the inside. Took it to dodge and they claim it's the wire, but it's not because the wire in great condition, because it's been replace and still having the same problem. It's not motor because once in a blue moon it would open partially, but it would closed automatically immediately. I have file numerous complaints to dodge but nothing was done. I believe it's electronic problem, which has to do with ECM (electronic control modular). Please contact dodge grand caravan to diligently check into this safety issue. Thank you.

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.

We have a 2007 dodge caravan sxt. On two separate occasion, I was at an intersection, with my foot on the brakes waiting for the light to change, and then the idling of the RPM started to climb very high, and the van started to vibrate, then when the light changed my accelerator pedal would not engage, it was stuck for a good 5 minutes. After which I kept pressing the pedal, and then it finally loosen, I heard a something popping loose when it happened and then the accelerator zoomed so fast when depressed. The second time it happened, same thing happened and then it got stuck again. The dealer service center, said that they could not locate the problem. Has anyone else encountered this type of problem. I know that when I descending a steep hill, I can feel alot of vibration on my brakes. Also my side doors does not open with the handle or the key remote, or overhead remote. You need to play around with the door handle on the outside for awhile before you can get it opened.

We purchased an 07' dodge grand caravan june 07 and have had nothing but problems w/ it since shortly after the purchase. 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. It then moved to doing this while in motion as well ... The dealer assured us that nothing is going to happen it is a computer problem that chrysler is working on. There are other known customers w/ the same problem. When we had it in the shop the first time a dx was ran on the computer to reset everything ... Didn't help at all. Had it back in a week later for 9+days and at that time they dropped the transmission out and replaced the clutches and something else too. As soon as we drove it off the lot it was back to square one. My key has gotten stuck in the ignition once so far ... Didn't take it in but did phone to let them know about the issue. That happened during the month of july .... Now my back automatic doors will not open from the inside switch located near the doors, and my passenger side window was rolled down yesterday (09/15/07) and didn't want to go back up. I did finally get it up but scared to try and roll it down again.
