   Automatic sliding doors will not unlock or open at all- not manually, not with the inside door buttons, not with my key fob, and not with the automatic buttons on the front ceiling of the van. I have 3 young children all 5 and under. This is an EXTREMELY dangerous fault that puts all of their lives into danger! The inconvenience of a grown adult having to climb through the back hatch to lock her kids in is annoying yes but my concern is how I'm supposed to safely get to them…

   I had the driver’s side power window go down and not go back up. Had the power window fixed by an auto shop. It was the regulator and motor for the power windows that went bad. $984 later it is now working.

   Power sliding Door lock actuators failed. First started experiencing problems with the doors at 75,000mi clicking noises and then at 90,000 miles the drivers side door became stuck shut. This poses a risk of my car seat aged and disabled children to be stuck locked in the vehicle in the event of a crash or fire. The second door began clicking near 93,000 miles and is now stuck locked as well. On 4/5/25 I received a warranty extension notice from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles…

    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…

    The back up camera is malfunctioning. It is not showing a picture at all anymore. It started right when I bought the car a year and a half ago. It was showing the picture then the picture would go away while I was backing up. It also would show the picture upside down and right side up and the picture would go off and on. Now the picture does not come on at all. I believe this should be a recall issue. I found it to be dangerous to see the picture flipping around upside down…
