Drivers side passenger door will no longer open.
Drivers sliding door won't open. It's stuck in the lock position which makes it a huge safety issue. Door worked one evening but next day went to open the door & it wouldn't open. Pressing the key fob unlock & the unlock button on the drivers door doesn't do anything. No noise or anything when pressing unlock button. From all the research I've done, it seems this is a common occurrence & should be a recall as this is a safety issue.
Passenger side, rear sliding door locking mechanism failed. The door is stuck in the lock position and cannot be unlocked remotely or manually. This creates a safety issue as the door cannot be opened.
My driver side sliding door has been stuck in the lock position. It was working fine and then nothing. System says to unlock to operate while parked whether the car is started or not. Every door unlocks except this one. Definitely a safety hazard. The car is fairly new with less than 70 k miles on it.
The driver's door will not lock, or unlock, with either the fob or with the button on the door. I need to take the physical key out of the fob and manually unlock the door to get inside. Once inside the van, I need to remember to manually lock the my door, because it will not automatically lock like the rest of the doors. Once I exit the van, I need to push the lock down because the fob will not lock it. It only has 66,000 miles.
Passenger side sliding door not locking/unlocking when the key fob locks/unlocks the other doors. Vehicle is stationary, running or turned off in park.
Driver side passenger sliding door stopped unlocking and wont open
The sliding door will open completely then start closing once open. The up top button is set to off so the open/ close button by the door would not work. This has happened on several dates up to now. The door doesn't lock or un lock using the key fob or in car lock button.
Rear right sliding door lock actuator buzzing when unlocking door.

Sliding door locks on both driver and passenger are not working driver side sliding door is in locked position and will not open with key fob, manual lock passenger side sliding door does not lock with key fob, have to manually lock and unlock door.
Driver's side sliding door will not unlock/open. I got to my destination and used the power button over visor to open the door and unload children. Used power button at the door to close the door after unloading children. Came out to van to go home and door would not open. The vehicle had around 42,000 miles and I had only owned the vehicle for 3 months. I bought it used from a dealer. I have researched this problem and it appears to be a common problem with the vans models 2014 and later. The repair cost is about $1100 for a faulty lock mechanism.I have tried multiple times to force the door to unlock and it will not unlock and can not be opened which limits access to the back on the van on the driver's side.
My driver's side sliding door stopped working. I bought my van from a dealer at the end of july 2019 with around 40,000 miles on it. In the middle of october 2019 (around 45,000 miles) the door stopped working. I used the key fob button to open the door and put my grandson in his carseat. I used the door power button to close the door. When we got to our destination, I used the power button on the roof dash to open the door, I got my grandson out and used the door power button tho close the door. Everything worked as usual. When we came out, I tried to use the key fob button to open the door. The lights blinked, but the door did not open. I tried to open the door manually and it would not open. When I got home I tried to figure out what was wrong. I tried to unlock the door, but it will not unlock. The button will move some manually but will not unlock. I tried calling the dealer and they said they couldn't do anything because it was out of warranty. I called dodge to see if there was a recall on it and they said there was not a recall and they could do nothing to help me. I was looking online and saw that many people have had the same problem and most of the vehicles were fairly new like mine. They suggested coming here to file a complaint to try and get a recall on these doors.
Rear passenger doors often don't unlock or open. Huge safety issue. Car is turned off. Inside unlock button pressed twice, rear passenger door doesn't unlock. When key fob is used to unlock the doors, rear passenger door doesn't unlock. When car is turned on and the inside unlock button is pressed, rear passenger doors don't unlock.
