Automatic second row passenger doors and or locks are sealed shut. the doors cannot be opened or closed and are sealed completely and totally shut. there is no manual over ride system to manually open and close the doors or to manually unlock the doors to open them. these are the doors that children use to get in and out of the vehicle as these are the seats that children, toddlers, and babies ride in. these doors are completely and totally sealed shut and cannot be opened manually. they may or may not be locked and cannot be unlocked manually either. the auto mechanic cannot get inside of these door panels to find out what is wrong even after stowing the seats as there is also no way to get the door panels off from the inside of the car while the doors are sealed shut. you have to open the doors to get the door panels off to look inside of the doors to see what is wrong. but, you cannot do this because the doors are sealed shut. faulty and defective design and engineering! serious safety issue for children! ...

Loud buzzing noise on sliding door unlocking mechanism rear passenger

Driver's side sliding door stuck locked shut. cant even manually unlock

Right passenger sliding door is stuck in locked position. unable to open or unlock the door, and there is no manual override. this creates a safety issue due to inability to get my young child out. this problem occurred out of nowhere, one day it worked and the next it wasn't. the vehicle was stationary. the van only has 36 thousand miles on it.

First incident was in august 2017.i had service done because the driver's side sliding door stopped working and did not open. second incident - this august 2019 the same door stopped working and does not open. third incident - now my passenger side sliding door does not open either. both sliding doors currently do not open. they are locked with no manual way to unlock or open. these doors are faulty and a serious safety concern. i have to small children that in the event of an emergency, are not able to escape. dodge service centers aren't able to provide courtesy vehicles during the repair, which according to my experience, would take approximately 3-4 days to repair the faulty sliding door. there are several complaints regarding these sliding doors. if the same issue keeps happening with these doors, then the problem is not with the users. the issue is in the mechanism of these sliding doors.

Passenger rear sliding door makes extremely loud buzzing noise when any doors lock or unlock. there had been no damage done to the vehicle and this came completely random. very disappointed in dodge! i walked out hit unlock on the key fob while vehicle was stationary in my driveway. heard buszzzzzzz super loud got nervous couldn't figure out the noise. i figured it out when i turned the ignition and the doors then locked and the noise happened again. has now happened everytime since then and it's extremely loud.

The liftgate will not open. somedays it will open by push button or by the fob, but when it stops working it will be weeks before it starts to work again. the liftgate wont open manually which can be a safety hazard if there was a. emergency. the car is parked when this happens.

The passenger door is stuck locked. tried using fob states unlock door.

The sliding door on passenger side will not unlock. this is a safety issue as having children in there car seat and can't open the door to get them out. i have read many complaints on the car gurus site with the same problem. many say dodge is aware of the problem but has not issued a recall, but will repair it for $$$$. i was in a store parking lot when this happened and could not get the door to unlock to get my grandson out. the door still will not unlock.

When hitting the unlock button on either door, the right back sliding door makes a loud buzzing noise. it makes this noise any time we hit unlock.

A few months ago the passenger side rear sliding door on my 2016 dodge grand caravan stopped operating with my children in the vehicle. the door is stuck in lock position and i am unable to open the door at all. today the other sliding door (driver side rear sliding door) stopped working, locking my 4 month old, 2 year old and 4 year old in the rear of the van. we were able to climb over the middle console in the front seat to get the children out. if this was an emergency situation, all of our lives could've been in danger due to the doors not opening. i've researched it and it seems to be a very common problem among dodge/chrysler vans in the last 10 years.

Drivers side sliding door does not unlock. causing vehicle door not to open on command. was told it has faulty actuator. to manually unlock it is extremely difficult for small children. could become hazard in an emergency.
