I was researching how to fix this, and this seems to be a pretty common issue. How has this put safety at risk - if there is an emergency, how do those people in the back seat get out? This is a HUGE issue! There are no other known failures with the vehicle - it has no https://plaincars.com/make/dodge-grand-caravan https://plaincars.com/make/dodge-grand-caravan#complaint-2173787 Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT The front door panel that sits between the front window and back sliding door flew off the vehicle while driving down the road. This happened on both the driver and passenger side at different times/days. The drivers side was fixed by the dealer (eide) under warranty prior to the passenger side flying off. The passenger side panel is still missing/not fixed. You can possibly inspect it, depending https://plaincars.com/make/dodge-grand-caravan https://plaincars.com/make/dodge-grand-caravan#complaint-2173719 Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT I went into the Dodge place for my routine oil change on 2/3/26. While waiting, it was discovered by a technician that I had a very bad oil leak. This is very alarming to me. One reason is, there were no signs that I had an oil leak. A few examples: my oil sensor light did not come on, no oil spots recognized on concrete, or no smell of possible oil burning. The Dodge automotive technician determi https://plaincars.com/make/dodge-grand-caravan https://plaincars.com/make/dodge-grand-caravan#complaint-2173748 Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT I purchased this van from a used car lot in December of 2025. After driving it for a little over 2 weeks the check engine light came on. My mechanic did a computer check on it and it showed that the transmission is bad. Apparently, through much investigation work on my part, the warranty I paid for on the vehicle is “void” because the dealer that I purchased it from was well aware that it needed https://plaincars.com/make/dodge-grand-caravan https://plaincars.com/make/dodge-grand-caravan#complaint-2171157 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT I am writing to formally request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration review and consider an investigation into a potential safety-related defect affecting 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles. My vehicle recently experienced a failure of the engine oil filter housing, which cracked and leaked oil and required an expensive repair.

Van was restarted and drove normally for awhile. While driving. the van turned off with no notification or warning lights. This almost caused a DEADLY accident. The fault is with the ignition box. Other model years were recalled for the same reason.

(The doors do not open when placed in the "manual" option either. They cannot be opened in any way.) This happened a few years ago, but my vehicle was past the original warranty period for any repairs, and there were no recalls existing.

We have had the #2 and now the #1 cylinder heads fail, causing misfires, poor engine performance and complete failure. We’ve also had multiple injectors fail, #2 (twice), 4 & 5. The engine failure is a safety issue and has been proven as such. https://plaincars.com/make/dodge-grand-caravan https://plaincars.com/make/dodge-grand-caravan#complaint-2166971 Fri, 16 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT See Attached Documents: 1.)
