2016 DODGE CARAVAN

IN TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE LOCK ACTUATORS WHAT BAD ON BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS FOR THE PASSENGERS SIDE AND DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS A COSTLY PROBLEM TO HAVE AND UNCALLED FOR ON A RELIABLE FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE THE UNDERSTANDING BY TALKING TO THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR DODGE MINIVANS. THIS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OWNERS DUE TO THE FACT THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET YOUR LOVE ONES OUT ON TIME. AT THE TIME OF THE ACTUATORS GOING BAD THE PASSENGERS HAD TO GET OUT THROUGH THE OTHER DOOR OR THROUGH THE FRONT EXIT. THIS IS INDEED COSTLY PROBLEM.

THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCKING MECHANISM. ONE DAY WE PARKED AND LOCKED THE CAR TO GET ICE CREAM AND WHEN WE CAME BACK THE DOOR WOULDN'T UNLOCK. *TR

WE HAVE A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN THAT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A MECHANIC TO NEED A REAR AC EVAPORATOR INSTALLED AT A COST OF OVER $1000.00. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS WE WERE TOLD IT IS A KNOWN MOPAR PROBLEM. AS THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD FOR A FAMILY OF FIVE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FIND THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS VAN WAS PURCHASED TO ACCOMMODATE OUR 17 YEAR OLD SON WITH DUCHENNES MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY. HE CANNOT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH THE AMOUNT OF HEAT SUMMER BRINGS. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...

"TAKATA RECALL" SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE WON'T UNLOCK OR OPEN (NOT AUTOMATIC OPEN DOOR, MANUALLY OPEN) TRIED USING THE DOOR UNLOCK PAD THE KEY FOB AND THE LOCK IN THE DOOR AND IT STILL DOESN'T UNLOCK OR OPEN. MY 1 YEAR OLD SITS ON THAT SIDE AND I AM WORRIED THIS IS A VERY HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO HIM QUICKLY. MY 3 YEAR OLD SITS ON THE OTHER SIDE AND SO NOW WE HAVE TO CLIMB IN TO UNBUCKLE BOTH CHILDREN TO GET THEM OUT. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO HAPPEN. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED THE OTHER SIDE WHEN THAT AGITATOR WENT OUT ON IT. MY VAN HAS 32000 MILES. BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2016. SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE SAFETY ISSUES. PLEASE LOOK INTO DODGE AND THE REPORTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE FILED WHO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FIXED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
