The driving side sliding door has become stuck in the locked position. It is unable to be opened manually or with the remote or buttons. I was able to open the door with the remote to put my child in the car. When we arrived at our destination I was unable to open the door. This is a serious safety concern as if we were in an accident or an emergency situation I would not be able to get my infant out of the car quickly and safely.
2016 Dodge Grand Caravan acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I bought my 2016 dodge grand caravan in february of 2018 with 98000 miles on it. Here I am 1 year and 5 months later having to replace the transmission at 108000 miles. I was driving and without warning on a city street my rpms were going up to 6000 but my van wasn't accelerating. I almost got rear ended and luckily none of my children were with me, especially my 7 week old baby!! The transmission repair shop that I had it towed to said it wasn't due to the pump that was recalled, that apparently did not apply to my VIN, but the inside of my transmission was breaking apart internally. When they took the pan off the transmission there were pieces of metal laying in it. And after all this my check engine light never came on.
