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.

The driver's side sliding door is not unlocking. the door won't open, so i am unable to put my baby in and out of his car seat through that door. the door won't open manually or through the use of the automatic lock buttons. the vehicle's locks were working in the morning, but the one lock stopped working that evening. the car was stationary and in a parking lot when the lock was checked and found to be malfunctioning. this is definitely a safety risk because i need to be able to get my baby in and out of his car seat in case of an accident. also, the safety of the vehicle isn't guaranteed with the faulty lock.

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.

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.

The rear sliding door behind the drivers seat has become stuck in the lock position overnight. the door will not open from outside or inside. nothing caused this to happen such as an accident or forcibly closing the door. after googling this issue, i've discovered many, many customers have had this exact same problem and dodge will not issue a recall. this is dangerous and could be deadly with small children in the rear who cannot escape the van in case of fire or an accident.

Drivers side, passenger sliding door will not unlock or open. doesn't make any difference if it is stationary, off or running. in my opinion, this is a safety issue, anyone sitting in that position requiring emergency egress, would be trapped. i suspect it is a bad door locking system, it shouldn't have happened with <40k miles.
