Middle electronic sliding doors will not open electronically and there is no way to open these doors during an emergency - trapping the middle occupants inside without a way to escape.

There are multiple whirring and clicking noises in the walls of the cargo area, mostly in passenger side. This happens when I lock/unlock the auto, and close the doors. I also hear what sounds like a moan coming from the dash, at least 2-3 times after I've closed and locked it, from the inside. I just purchased it used, with around 98k miles on it.

The lock on the passenger sliding door has stopped locking the door. When all the other doors are locked the door will still open. The lock also cannot be engaged manually the lock is stuck in the unlocked position. The driver side sliding door has started to make a buzzing sound when the locks are engaged. I think this indicates that the actuator on the driver side door may also be starting to fail.

The rear right passenger sliding door stopped working both electronically and manually causing a partial hazard so as no one can exit/enter that door to the vehicle. It was first observed nearly 4 weeks ago when the vehicle was stationary.

Need a recall issued! 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan with sliding door issues. Lock makes loud noise when trying to unlock. Sometimes it will not unlock or lock, causing the door to work incorrectly. This is a safety issue that multiple people have encountered. There is should be a recall on this locking mechanism.

27K miles on my car. At 16K, last year, the passenger side slider door was stuck. Would not open, would not lock or unlock. Was under warranty and Dodge fixed. Now a year later, the other door is doing the same, except Dodge wants to charge me $1,468 to fix it!!! are you insane? this is obviously a failed part and should be fixed for the safety of my children!

My 2015 Grand Caravan both sliding doors were working fine, then yesterday the driver's sliding door just froze--can't open it electronically or manually. The lock is stuck in the locked position and the power door lock switch won't move that door's lock to the 'unlock' position. When you try to move the lock/unlock button/lever on that sliding door, it's stuck in the locked position--even with a bunch of force I can't move the lever to the unlocked position--I feel like I'm going to break the lever if I force it too much. So the door is basically unuseable unopenable right now. I feel it's a failure and safety issue.

On 2 separate occasions, while in park with the engine running, the corresponding side doors opened up when the front door was in the process of being closed. The first time this happened was on the passenger side slider, when the front door was being closed. This happened on a busy 8 lane interstate during rush hour, while parked in the breakdown lane awaiting a tow truck for our U-haul truck/trailer breakdown. I watched in horror as 3 of my 5 dogs jumped out and 1 ran into the oncoming traffic. This dog, my male collie, ran to my husband when his name was called, and just in the nick of time, as an 18 wheeler was locking up his brakes to try an avoid killing him. We managed to get the 3 dogs, unharmed, back into the van with the other 2 dogs. Another incident happened about a month later, while in park with engine running, as I was closing the drivers door, the slider door opened up, but this time there was no occupants in the back. I took the van to the local dealership service dept. And was told there were no listed recalls for this. He stated that another customer had come in complaining of the rear hatch door opening up while the van was being driven. He stated that the service technicians have to be able see the problem happening to assess the situation for repair, so he replaced the key fob stating that it could possibly be malfunctioning causing the problems, but if another incident of this sort happens, to come back. He also suggested that the child safety feature of locking the rear doors from the top buttons, be placed on when occupants are in the back.

My vehicle was struck in the drivers side door by another vehicle. The entire side of the van was affected, from the wheels to the bumpers. I feel the vehicle that struck my van was doing at least 20 mph at the time of impact and the side impact air bags did not deploy. In my research I have found that impacts from 8 to 18 mph should cause these side air bags to deploy. This is very concerning for myself and the safety of others with these types of vehicles. Chrysler had an "independent" investigator inspect the van before any repairs were completed. I was not asked to be present at the time of the inspection or given a copy of the report. I will be attempting to contact the "independent" investigator for a copy of the report but don't feel that I will have much luck. There were four children in the van along with my spouse when the accident happened and thankfully no critical injuries were sustained. I would like to know if the air bags were supposed to work. The vehicle is currently being repaired at the dealership I purchased it at.
