Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan

I have a 2016 grand caravan with 52000. the driver side rear sliding door is stuck shut in the lock position. i can not get it unlocked to open door. it had been working good all day. i got home to take my kids out of their car seat but the door wouldn't open. tried with the fob, door lock switch and manually unlock it but it won't budge. what's it going to take to get a recall on this. my child getting killed (god forbid) and me sueing dodge and nhtsa . there are certainly have been enough complaints about this happening.

Driver's side back sliding door is stuck shut and in locked position. will not open with remote or manually. can't get it opened at all. passengers side sliding door makes loud buzzing noise when unlocking it.

Van makes a loud buzzing sound when lock and unlock or open doors . there has been many complaints by owners of same model posted on carguru.com etc. it appears this should be a recall item as it is very loud and frightening to passengers etc

Driver's side rear sliding door, all of a sudden, will not operate. notification on panel says "unlock door to operate" even though all doors are unlocked. this is a safety issue as the door will not open and passengers can not escape on the driver's side in the case of an emergency. many, many other people have had the same complaint.

I approached my car and hit the button on my remote to open the driver side sliding door. i placed my items in the car and pushed the door close button. i drove to my destination and when trying to open the door to retrieve my items the door will not open. i have tried using the remote, the button in the car & manually opening. the door seems to be stuck in the locked position and will not open. my husband has tried all of the above and checked the fuses to make sure it wasn't just a blown fuse. my door is now stuck closed and i drive around with my children in the car all the time. now i am worried if we are in an accident that the door cannot be opened.

While driving, several dash panel lights flashed, lost power steering, lost ability to increase speed with gas pedal. engine stayed on but only at idle. able to get out of traffic onto side road and stop. turned key to off and then tried to start car again. it worked on the second try. seemed to operate normally with only the clock reset to 12:00am. this same sequence happened twice, about a week apart. no rain either time both during daylight.

We stopped to get gay gas while on vacation, everyone exited the van and shut all the doors. when we came back and i pushed the button on the key fob to open the slider doors open o ly the passenger side door opened. i went to open it from the inside and it wouldn't budge. i unlocked all doors and still won't open. it feels as though the manual lock is jammed on lock position!. i feel this is a safety issue. if there were a need to open that door in an emergency it would not work! i have also read on multiple chat sites of other people with this problem. i feel it needs a recall so it gets fixed.

2016 dodge grand caravan, driver side rear sliding door. door lock makes a loud buzzing sound when it locks automatically, or using the fob. it happens while driving and the van hits 15 miles an hour with the auto lock, and when stopped using the lock button on the arm rest or with the fob. this appears to be a common problem with this vehicle.

We have problems with both the rear passenger and rear driver side sliding doors on our 2016 dodge grand caravan r/t. the van had about 37,000 miles on it at the time of the first incident. the rear sliding doors were not unlocking to open them while we were stoped, and in park. this happened in a public parking lot. the issue with this is, we couldn't open the doors to let our kids out of the van. the open/close sliding door switch in the van would not open them, neither would the key fob. we tried to unlock it manually on the door itself, but the lock was stuck in the locked position. i used a lot of force to unlock it manually with no luck. the actuators that power the mechanical locks felt like they were jammed and wouldn't let us unlock the doors manually. i finally was able to get it unlocked by forcing and holding the manual lock in the unlock position while hitting the key fob unlock/lock feature over and over again. it took me 10 minutes to troubleshoot this in order to get the kids out. it now works for awhile just fine, and ...

Safety issues with both rear sliding doors. the passenger door stopped working all together. it is closed and will not open using automatic openers or even by hand. the passenger side slideing door now makes a loud buzzing noise any time you unlock the door. the door still unlocks and locks normally and open and closes normally but the buzzing noise just started about a week ago. it does this whether the vehicle is running or not. only makes the noise when unlocking the door, not locking.

Doors buzzing noise when lock or unlock

I live in maine and when it is cold out the automatic doors freeze up you cannot open it by yourself it clicks and clicks. doesn't seem like a big deal but my kids have to jump through the front to get in and i have a newborn baby who we have to stick the car seat through the passenger doors the scary thing is i wonder if there was an emergency and we had to get out of the car so the car is smoking or something the doors would not open i would have to try to pull the infant seat out through the front and the kids would all have to jump out through the front i don't get how this has not been recalled.

Passenger side sliding door is stuck in locked position. door will not open with key, key fob, or manually. when i try to open the door i get the message to 'unlock to operate'. definitely a safety issue! my small children ride back there and i need to be able to access them quickly if something happens.

While driving through a intersection turning right the engine shutoff without warning. along with the engine shutoff, power steering was lost and everything on the dashboard including the speedometer, rpms, radio. with the loss of acceleration and power steering it made it very difficult to maneuver to safety. once stopped i was able to place the vehicle in park i turned the key to off and restarted the vehicle and it started back up normally. absolutely no engine lights or warning were showing before or after this incident. i suspect that the issue is the tipm but can't be exactly sure.

Back sliding door has began making a loud buzzing sound anytime i hit the unlock button. it is really loud.
