Vehicle quits while driving in the rain and loses ability to steer.

- Prestonsburg, KY, USA

The automatic door locks are jammed on both sides of the vehicle and will not unlock even manually. While this may seem like a minor issue, if we were to end up in an accident with no way for my 5 children to exit the vehicle except through the front 2 doors, it would be a huge safety issue. I understand that the automatic locks occasional malfunction, there should be a safety mechanism that at least allows for it to operate manually but this is not the case. I researched online and on many sites there are others with the same issue. I called Chrysler to issue a complaint and they referred me here.

It first started with the passenger side sliding door lock. It would not automatically lock and had to be done manually. Now the driver's side door lock will not go up and down automatically nor will it do it manually. The door will also not open at all from inside or outside. This is a safety issue because passengers are not able to get out of the vehicle from that side.

The sliding passenger door locks no longer lock automatically lock while driving. They have to be locked manually. This is a safety issue. With children in the back seat, they can now open the doors while the car is moving if an adult forgets to lock them. The lift gate in the back no longer chimes when opening. This is a safety issue. Someone can get whacked with the door, not knowing that it is about to open. The parking lights stay on or come on spontaneously after the headlights have been turned off. This is a problem. Very easy for the owner to come out in the morning to a dead battery and a car that won't start. Some owners have reported the headlights cutting out while driving, a serious safety issue.

We own a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, the problems started with the turn indicator not work correctly, it flashes on the wrong side, if you click it to turn right the lights work for the left side, some time it will not work at all. Now the key less entry doesn't work the first time you press it unlocks the drivers side only press it two times rapidly and it will unlock the rear hatch and passengers side. This model van has massive electrical problems I keep smelling burning wires but I have to drive it because its our only vehicle and I have 4 children so im always worried about there safety in this van. We have owned it since new so there has been nothing changed bye anyone besides the Dodge dealer. Btw took it to Dodge they never have figured it out and the warranty is expired now so I am stuck with it.

Automatic passenger sliding door will not open or shut completely with either buttons or fob. When the door is closed manually the door cycles to "pull" itself shut. My children noticed this also starting on driver side door as well. We believe a wire in the plastic black casing has shorted or been severed.

Door lock failure on 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. Sliding door is locked and will not open manually or with eletronic buttons. Big safety issue if a child or passenger is in the back of van and you could not get the door open to get child or people out if an accident was to happen!!! vehicle is no longer under warranty and I cannot afford an $100 charge to a dealership just to look at the car.

2006 Dodge Grand Caravan electric passenger door stops 6" after opening, when closing stops in the same place. 82,000 miles - seems like a very common problem with others after doing research.

Headlights on my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan have been intermittent on various occasions. When you turn the switch on, headlights do not always activate. No injuries, no accidents, but could cause a potential accident by not being able to see, or to be seen. Once the problem was recognized, in each instance, by playing with the switch, the lights eventually would come on. First instance was probably in 2007, latest in 2009 on a couple of different occasions.

Multiple electrical problems resulting in many sensor and part replacements. First surge in mileage gauage resulted in replacement of fried radio. Second surge resulted in air bag sensor replacement. Third surge resulted in no problem found. Fourth surge resulted in ABS sensor needing to be replaced. The fifth surge resulted in driver seat control motor going bad, but being repairable. The sixth sugre resulted in drivers seat motor having to be replaced due to complete burn out. Since the first surge I have been unable to open the sliding doors with either the console or the buttons beside the doors most often. After one of these surges, only the key remote will open the sliding doors.
