This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The passenger side sliding door will not unlock using the key or the driver or passenger door's electric unlock button. The manual button on the door also will not unlock the door. I have not be able to open the door for over a month. I have seen suggestions on the web of taking out and then put back the iod fuse, but that did not work.
Manual sliding doors on both sides do not work. This must be a defect. I was told the problem is with the hinges and rollers. The auto repair shop wants to charge $615 to fix each door!!
The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Caravan. The contact stated that the power door failed and the door would only open manually. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000 and the current mileage was approximately 75,000.
Driver side door does not open or shut completely. It only opens 6 to 8 inches and closes until about 6 to 8 inches. The latching mechanism sometime does not work at all or repeatedly tries to auto latch itself. This occurs every time we try to use the auto door feature. It appears that some wires have been severed, but the cost to repair at dealership is outrageous. I am afraid that the door will not properly close, leading to injury or death of my passengers. You can view many websites that have lots of people complaining about his exact same thing: autoforum.classifieds1000.com/Dodge-grand_caravan/2005_dodge_gc_sliding_door_problem.
