I own a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan GT and my rear sliding driver side door just stopped working for no reason. It is locked in position and the door won't open. I got in the vehicle one morning and while warming it up I went to open the door and it just would not open. So I went to the dealership that I purchased the van at and they checked it out and told me that the left side sliding door lock actuator is broken.

Grand Caravan

  • 85,000 miles
Drivers side sliding door stuck shut with my mom in the seat, she is highly claustrophobic, she almost had a panic attack by the time we were able to get the other side unloaded so she could slide out of the back seat. This was a serious health issue for my 76 year old mother, what if both sides had stuck shut, she probably would have had a heart attack before we were able to figure out how to get her out. This needs to be fixed and now. Door still stuck locked shut and there was no warning when it happened, it just did. She is scared to ride in my vehicle now because she doesn't want to be stuck inside again.
