At various speeds from 35mph to 70mph, van will accelerate without manual input to the accelerator pedal. To stop the acceleration, the pedal must be "smashed" several times before the throttle responds. It is as if the cruise control acceleration spontaniously activates even though cruise control is not ON or being used. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!

The hazardous roads symbol will light up on dash and then it will not allow me to use cruise control or shift the car out of park. I have to use the release button accessible from the hole in the dash to shift the car out of park when that hazardous road condition light is on. The hazardous road light will come on out of no where on a perfectly fine day and then mysteriously go off.

When approaching a red light going slow speed and slowing down, car suddenly accelerated as if it was regaining cruise control speed, therefore slamming into the car in front of me. Pressing on break did not help. Is this a recall issue? I see others on here with same issue. I received a citation. Car was totaled. This is not right.

The driving side sliding door has become stuck in the locked position. It is unable to be opened manually or with the remote or buttons. I was able to open the door with the remote to put my child in the car. When we arrived at our destination I was unable to open the door. This is a serious safety concern as if we were in an accident or an emergency situation I would not be able to get my infant out of the car quickly and safely.

I bought my 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan in February of 2018 with 98000 miles on it. Here I am 1 year and 5 months later having to replace the transmission at 108000 miles. I was driving and without warning on a city street my rpms were going up to 6000 but my van wasn't accelerating. I almost got rear ended and luckily none of my children were with me, especially my 7 week old baby!! the transmission repair shop that I had it towed to said it wasn't due to the pump that was recalled, that apparently did not apply to my VIN, but the inside of my transmission was breaking apart internally. When they took the pan off the transmission there were pieces of metal laying in it. And after all this my check engine light never came on.

Consumer stated this was the second attempt taking my 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan to the dealership to find out why my gas pedal stuck to the floor of my vehicle. And vehicle tents accelerate and pick up speed, rpms revving up while driving. The issue and defect and mechanical issues still exist. I am scheduled for October 16th 2018. To take the vechicle back to allen samuels Dodge Chrysler for the third time. You will find attached invoice from my last visit from the above case. Nothing has changed.
