The sliding door on the driver side just quit opening about 6 months ago, last week the transmission has went completely out. I was getting ready to leave home and when I put the van in drive it pulled off and when I got up to the speed limit and the RPM's was going up the van wouldn't shift. I sent it to the shop and they just called me saying that the transmission is completely gone and I need a new transmission or a re-build. This van is a 2016 with 78,000 miles. I am still paying on this vehicle and I am having all these problems. I would like to know if there is any recalls or complaints about this vehicle.

The driver's side sliding door on our 2016 Dodge Caravan cannot be opened. It stopped working after having the vehicle for less than two years. It cannot be opened from the inside or outside which is a safety concern for passengers trying to get out of the vehicle quickly in an emergency. We were told the interior latch was broken and that it would be expensive to fix. I believe this is a known issue with these vehicles as a number of others have reported the same problem.

- Lemont, PA, USA

Both rear sliding door locks have become jammed/stuck in the locked position. Door are stuck closed with no way to open them from the inside or outside of the van. Neither the automatic door open/close button or manual sliding options are operational. No damage was done to the vehicle to cause this problem. As I tried to unlock the van with my remote key button, the passenger side rear sliding door lock was jammed and would not unlock or open. Then a few months later the driver's side sliding door lock has jammed now too and can not be unlocked or opened. Vehicle was not moving or running when problems were discovered.

Passenger side sliding door won't lock with remote, or by button on driver's door. It will only lock manually. When the car is locked by remote then, the alarm sounds any time someone tries to open the unlocked sliding door.

- South St.Paul, MN, USA

Both sliding doors locking mechanism have malfunctioned. This is a common problem on this vehicle. Either the door is stuck in locked position (driver side) or in unlocked position (passenger side). Neither the power locking/unlocking function changes this, not manually sliding the lock. This is unacceptable as children in back of van may be unable to exit vehicle in case of accident. I had to pay mechanic hundreds of dollars to fix both doors.

The driver side rear sliding door will not open. It appears to be stuck in the locked position and any attempts to unlock it, either with the fob, all driver (door & overhead) lock/open buttons, or manually trying to move the lock, fail to release it. This occurred when the vehicle was stationary, in park, in our driveway, when I pushed the overhead "door open" button in order to get my children (2 weeks old and 3 years old) out of their car seats. Thankfully we were not involved in an incident requiring immediate evacuation at the time that this occurred. Still, I had to go in via the passenger side sliding door, uninstall my newborn infant's car seat, and leave her on the ground in order to access my toddler's seat and get him out. I'm horrified to think what a dangerous situation this could become in the case of an emergency, or if both doors were to fail. This has rendered the van unusable for my family, as getting everyone in and out quickly and safely is now impossible.

Drivers side sliding door will not unlock or open remotely or manually.

- Ferriday, LA, USA

The automatic rear sliding doors quit working and are stuck closed. They can't be opened with the remote, manually from the inside or with the inside buttons on the B pillar post or by the driver from the overhead driver's console. Apparently this is a common and very dangerous safety issue for these vehicles. This should be covered by warranty from Dodge but apparently is not. This should be a factor recall dealership fix.
