Power sliding door motor failure and malfunction.
My 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan sxt minivan has two power sliding doors. Both power sliding doors have failed. It is difficult to open the doors manually. I am requesting that Dodge issue a recall to fix the numerous 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan power sliding doors that have failed.
2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, 54,000 miles, passenger side door would close to within 6-8 inches using electronic buttons or key and stop. Was able to open and close manually for a day or two, then was not able to open door at all. After trying several times, was finally able to open door from outside. How in the world could anyone, my grandchildren for instance, get the door open in an emergency.
Driver's side automatic sliding door only opens 6-8", then stops. Must be manually opened/closed. Problem recurs every time automatic control is engaged, and doors are clearly not geared for manual opening/closing. . . This is a concern as it is very difficult to get out of the vehicle if in any seats other than front.
2005 Dodge Grand Caravan sliding door opening / closing problems. Is it the wiring harness? I have seen hundreds if not thousands of individuals with this problem. Door opens slightly then stops. Most dangerous part is that it will not cycle to fully pull the door in and close completely. I found broken wire in the track and replaced. But the problem still persists. It is a daily problem and the great engineers at Chrysler should be held accountable for this faulty design!!!.
Our drivers side power sliding door is now on it's 3rd or 4th motor. Dealership replaced it, then my last one was installed by my independent garage. Dodge knows they have a issue with these. The passenger power sliding door has also had the motor replaced, and I just had the harness replaced due to a broken wire in it. Once again, Dodge knows these have problems, according to my dealership. These items should be recalled and replaced for free. The van only has 52k miles on it.
Power rear sliding doors just quit working. Wires get cut by the track they are contained in called a wire track or sliding channel. This has happened numerous times on both driver & passenger sides. I'm concerned this could cause electrical fire or shock. Dealer replaced once under warranty for passenger side but warranty was out when it happened again. This was on VIN # [xxx] Dodge Grand Caravan sxt 6cyl 3. 3l. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
