Check engine light on. Cylinder 3 failure. Not spark plug or coil pack related. Defective head.

Passenger side rear sliding door is locked, as it has been reported in case number 11424331. This could cause serious problem in case of fire or accident, delaying back seat passengers exiting the car.

Rear driver side door is stuck in locked position. Can not electrically or manually unlock or open door. This is a safety concern for children in vehicle.

Cylinder 3 failure. Loss of power during emergency maneuvering. Check engine light on. Not spark plug or coil pack related. Defective head.

The contact owns a 2016 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, occasionally the vehicle jerked while accelerating. On several occasions, the vehicle loss motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle soon after failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The mechanic linked the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 16v461000 (power train) however, the vin was not under recall. An unknown dealer confirmed that the vin was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred her to the nhtsa for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.

I was stopped at a stoplight about to turn on to the florida turnpike when my car started idling loudly. When i stepped on the gas, i was shifted into neutral. I had to quickly shut down my vehicle, make a u-turn, and pray i would make it home. The car is no longer drivable as it slips into neutral and will not go over 10 miles per hour. The check engine light is on. Upon inspection by the independent mechanic, 6 diagnostic errors came up indicating an issue with the transmission. The mechanic confirmed that the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced. The van only has 57,139 miles! It's been maintained with semi-synthetic oil changes. The powertrain warranty expired just 3.5 months ago! Customer service refuses to extend good will even though the car was not driven for several months due to covid quarantine and is under the 60k mile threshold. There is no reason a car with 57k miles and regular maintenance should have a failed transmission!

The driver's side door is stuck in the locked position. You cannot unlock it manually, you cannot open the door manually. The key fob will not open it. The button on the top of the van will not open it. If this happens to all the doors, we could be stuck inside. We live in south carolina where the daily summer temperatures are over 90. If all of the doors get stuck, who knows if the windows will get stuck. What if we get stuck in the car? We have contacted someone to repair it and it is over $1200. That is ridiculous for a 5 year old vehicle. There were no warnings of this and the door opened about 10 minutes before this happened. I am on a q&a post about this issue with almost 200 other people who all have the same issue. How is this not a huge safety concern for you at dodge?

Passenger sliding door lock actuators fail. This failure prevents the ability to lock or unlock the door via the fob, press buttons or from the drivers console. This also prohibits opening the afflicted door from outside of the vehicle. Children are often unable to manually unlock the door and exit.

Our van makes a loud buzzing sound each time we open our doors or unlock them.
