Problems with 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan STRUCTURE

This vehicle has 61000 miles and check engine light came on. took to dealer and torque converter lock up is out on the vehicle. also on fron to hood there is rust deposit under paint. i have seen this on several dodge grand caravans in same place.

The sliding door on drivers side no longer opens. the handle moves but doesn't seem to latch or unlatch. door inoperable in closed position. it will not open at all from outside or inside the vehicle. it is not a power door, manual only. it just wouldn't open one day, without warning, around may 21, 2019. i hear of many others having same problem with their dodge grand caravan. please initiate a recall, as this is not only an expensive repair, but more importantly a safety issue for exiting the vehicle in an emergency.

Driver's rear, manual, sliding door just stopped working. it will not unlock or open from inside or out.

The passenger side sliding door does not open. i have four small children and i am concern that if their an accident i will not be able to get them out of the automobile. *dt *tr

The drivers seat belt does not retract and hangs limp today. the problem happend a couple times, but seatbelt retracted and then i notified dealer in late december after another occurrance in which thay determined the seatbelt was defective.by not retracting and they ordered a replacement seat belt. the seat belt is in and it is just a matter of getting to service, but in the meantime, i experienced a rear collision when parked with defective seat belt on and wish i had a non-defective seat belt on. i will ask for the seat belt part back if you would like to examine it. i need a bumper too but they can keep that! *tr

I was at a stop sign on the corner of ferry and eighth in niles, mi getting ready to turn northbound; a truck was going southbound and it was blizzard and icy conditions out, he was going to fast and when i turned right, he hit me on the drivers side spun my vehicle around twice and ended up hitting both sides of the vehicle in the front of the van taking the whole front end off. neither air bags went off and my granddaughter was also in the front passenger seat. he was going fast enough that i ended up northbound kitty corner across the road and he ended up in a telephone pole. both of his airbags went off in his truck upon impact. the bumper, headlights, frame was bent, the hood, the whole front end was smashed, (over $8000 of damage), but no airbags. i could feel the impact from the crash and ended up having to have physical therapy and my granddaughter had to go to the er.. both vehicles had to be towed. i had the van fixed at a licensed shop, when i called and asked dodge why neither airbag deployed, because they stated that their are sensors that go off on impact and my bumper had to be replaced, they stated, no reply, because i had not had it done at a dodge dealership. i am still having therapy for hip and back from impact and settled with insurance. i'm just wondering why the airbags did not go off on impact, other vehicle was going faster than what he should have for conditions and more than 25. *tr

When opening the driver's side rear sliding door (either with the car key or by pulling on the door handle), after the door reaches its fully open position, it sometimes immediately begins to close again. pressing the door opening switch on the b pillar does not stop the door from closing. only an adult's force against the door stops it from fully closing. this creates an extreme risk of injury to children who are most likely to be using the rear seats.
