Passenger sliding door locks are failing. Make very loud buzzing noise when activated. Sounds like a wrong answer buzzer... and it is loud enough to startle passengers. One side seems to not unlock on first try. This happens anytime locks are activated to lock or unlock, both while moving and while stationary.

Driver side door lock actuator has faulted resulting loud buzz sound due to the electrical motor in actuator to not properly move. Fearful of a electrical short occurring especially since this where my 4yr old daughter has to sit. Also if the lock possibly goes completely out I'm fearful of 2 things 1. as my daughter sit by that door it at any moment becomes not locked allowing her to open while vehicle in operation 2. vehicle no longer locked while vehicle unattended allowing anyone acess it's been buying for awhile now have not received any safety recall information on this yet. Thank you

The sliding doors make a loud buzzing sound when trying to lock or unlock.

The rear driver side door will not unlock. It does not unlock with the key fob, or by manually trying to unlock the mechanism. Therefore, my children cannot exit the car from the drivers' side. This first happened after trying to unlock the door using the key fob, while parked, and trying to re-enter the car. This issue previously happened with the rear passenger side door. This is a known issue with the car and must be recalled.

While driving the entire vehicle including all functional systems simply shuts off. This has happened 2 times in the last 2 months. All systems are lost. Brakes, steering, engine, etc. There is no advanced waring or indications. There are no engine warning lights. The vehicle has been taken into the dealership twice to fix this malfunction with no success/progress. This is catastrophic failure because all vehicle controls are lost. Both times the vehicle was being driven. Once in the city and the other while on the highway.

A loud buzz sound happens when I lock my vehicle or when my door automatically locks. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is stationary or in motion. When it locks it makes a very loud noise

Our 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan stalls while driving. There is no indication when it will happen. When it does happen, the dash indicators light up briefly and the engine loses all power. This has happened numerous times while driving in traffic on the road. I have seen hundreds of similar complaints online for this vehicle. We are able to restart the vehicle after coming to a complete stop, but the check engine light is not on and there are no engine codes when we restart. Many of the complaints I have read state that the mechanics can't figure out what is wrong because there is no code and can't immediately recreate the issue. We have had the same experience. Yet it continues to happen. Over and over. My vehicle is in the 5th generation of this model (2008 - 2020). According to wikipedia, well over 1 million have been sold in the us alone. If hundreds (maybe thousands) of people have complained on the internet about the same exact problem with the same exact vehicle, then you know there are multiples more who have experienced this issue. Losing power while driving is a massive safety issue, not just for the vehicle that loses power, but for all vehicles around it. I am dating this as of 12/19/2020 because it happened to me again last night, but please note that it has happened repeatedly over the past few years. This issue should prompt a recall so that nobody is killed.

The electric locks on both of the sliding rear doors have a buzz when opening and closing the doors, also when unlocking them.

Both rear sliding door actuators have failed within a month. The door acre completely unusable and cannot be open

- Phoenix, AZ, USA

Both power sliding doors have a very loud & annoying buzz when opening using the key fob as well as when the vehicle reaches a certain speed where the door locks automatically lock.the diagnosis is defective power lock actuators. The repair is very expensive and if not repaired, will cause the power doors to freeze in a locked position creating a serious safety issue. A recall is needed immediately as most if not all of the Dodge Grand Caravan in the 2015 through 2017 will experience this issue.

Lock actuator in passenger side sliding door does not function, buzzes loudly. Whether vehicle is stationary or moving, lock fails.

- Fond Du Lac, WI, USA

Our sliding door has seized up in the lock position. We are unable to open it at all. After reading hundreds of other complaints it sounds like the sliding door actuator needs to be replaced. This is on one side but now the other side is sounding like it may go as well. Having doors we can not open is a safety issue and needs to be fixed before we are comfortable driving with our children again. The vehicle is a 2016 Dodge Caravan and just broke 60K miles. Average fix is over $1100 and the mechanics are all to familiar with the issue.

The passenger side sliding door lock actuator makes a loud obnoxious buzzing sound when it is unlocked. It happens every time the actuator unlocks the door. We are concerned as it is a sign of a faulty part that could at some point fail completely creating a safety hazard. Many 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan owners are complaining of this exact same phenomenon. Apparently a gear with plastic teeth is wearing down and a worm gear is grinding on the teeth. This will eventually cause total failure. There needs to be a recall on this as it is a systemic problem.

Both sliding doors on my vehicle all of a sudden stopped working with no warning giving. I've looked into this an seen there has been many complaint about this issue to Dodge and nothing has been done. Unable to open the sliding doors is a safety issue and puts people lives in danger on a daily basis due to not addressing the issue immediately. I am reaching out to have this issue resolved before someone lose their life to this or either someone kids. If there is an emergency with an fire, or and accident and people need to vacate immediately there will be lives lost.
