My check engine light came on in November 2023 and the code was a cylinder 2 misfire, so I had new spark plugs, ignition coil, and intake gaskets put in. About 2 days later, my check engine light came back on. I went back to the shop and was told it could be a number of things, but was not provided any set explanation. I then noticed that they engine light will turn off randomly, but then come right back on, so I thought it might be a wiring issue. I took my vehicle to my mechanic for diagnostic, due to my check engine light still being on after having the spark plugs, ignition coil, and intake gaskets replaced within the last 6 months. My mechanic said that my vehicle needs a new cylinder head, and that he has seen this same issue with several other Dodge Grand Caravans, and that another vehicle with the same parts was recalled for the same problem.

My 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan GT driver side sliding door is jammed shut and locked. I took it to 2 dealerships near me and both want almost $1000 per door to fix. The actuator is out and they said the loud noise when opening and closing the passenger side sliding door is a sign that door is also about to go out. My VIN doesn-??t fall into the recalls. This seems like it is a hazard. If both doors indeed get stuck then how do you get car seats in and out" Isn-??t it dangerous if other kids have to climb in and out the front doors? I-??m so confused how this isn-??t a recall when it will be dang near impossible to move car seats and kids through front doors or even moving 3rd row to get in and out and put back up for it to be sat in. What do you do in event of a crash if you can get kids out" Please help! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My engine light came on reading stated #2 misfire. I have had spark plugs, wires, coil boot intake gaskets replaced. Now #2 misfire is reading a permanent code. I need to know why this is not a recall on my van there are reports of thousands of Dodges having this happen and has become quite costly for me. I'm afraid to drive the vehicle because it could apparently cause my valves to crack and cost a large amount of money to repair I'm [XXX] very sickly, I also still make payments on the vehicle.

On 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan the side sliding door does not lock. When van is locked, the side sliding door can be opened from the outside (similar issue was reported on 2016 models) while van is supposedly locked. Safety and theft problem.

The passenger side door actuator, which is responsible for unlocking and locking the door, has failed on my van. The door remains in the unlocked position and will not close. The previous poses a risk to the safety of my family since the lock will not engage. The problem with the actuator is that it does not allow the automatic locks to engage, which Dodge has installed to prevent carjackings. This issue arose approximately two months ago, and after searching online, I have noticed that this is a common failure on Dodge Grand Caravan models from the 2010s to their last year of production. My van is a 2019 model; the door actuator failed shortly after the warranty expired. The local Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT Dealership quoted me a minimum of $1200 to fix the problem. In the past, they issued a warranty extension from 3 years or 36,000 miles to 15 years / 150,000 miles for failed actuators; they limited it to 2015-2017 models. The warranty bulletin is posted on the NHTSA website; it is dated November 10, 2021 Hopefully, you can help. My issue with the unlocked position is bad; there are others whose doors remain in the locked position, posing a serious risk, especially when people find themselves in accidents in those Dodge Grand Caravans with failed actuators.

The lock actuator on the rear driver's side door has seized in the locked position. I have two small children that require car seats and assistance with seat belts. If there was an accident, I'd be unable to open said door to get my child out of the vehicle without having to go around and climb through the other side, around another car seat. The only indicator that there's something wrong is that the dash display says to unlock the door to open it. I've researched online and this appears to be a known issue that Dodge doesn't fix, but it seems to be quite a safety hazard that must be addressed.

We had just returned from the grocery store parked the car in the driveway and were proceeding to exit the car. My 17 yr old daughter was sitting in the passenger seat when we heard a loud bang and her head was jolted foward by the headrest, upon examination and a quick Google search we learned that it was a safety feature for when rear-ended which had not happened.

The Oil Filter Housing Unit was loose, causing oil to slow-leak into the spark plugs, resulting in my engine misfiring. According to the mechanic that worked on my vehicle, this is common in a lot of newer vans like the Caravan and the Chrysler Town And Country. I ended up having to pay about $900 to have the spark plugs and the Oil Filter Housing Unit replaced.

The power rear door on the passenger side is stuck in the closed position. Can not be manually opened or opened with the button. It can not be unlocked. This is an issue in an accident. This makes it increasingly difficult for passengers to get out of the vehicle in an emergency. This has been a problem ever since Dodge introduced the power sliding doors on their vans.

The passenger sliding door stopped working and will not open or unlock manually. If there is an accident rear passengers will have to exit the vehicle through the driver side sliding door and/or the rear hatch. It appears to be the lock actuator and am waiting on the part to arrive for install to see if issue resolved.
