My drivers side rear sliding door will not unlocked manually or with the key fob or with the unlock button in the van. So this door will not open at all. It's stuck shut. Also when I press the unlock button inside the van and on the fob it makes a loud buzzing noise. This happened last evening after I had loaded my kids in the car to go home and parked in the driveway. I was unable to get my 1 year old out of her car seat from the rear drivers side sliding door. This is definitely a safety hazzard. What if that was the only way out of the vehicle due to an accident. We would be trapped.
Sliding door get stuck in a locked position and cannot open. Fob doesn't work or manual lock doesn't work.
When I was driving my car and coming to a stop the engine would suddenly shut off. All lights would remain on but my power steering would go away and the rpm's would drop to 0. When I would try to start it after pulling over (manually cranking the steering wheel) the car would turn over, start, and then shut off immediately. Then randomly, usually after 15 minutes, the car would start up like normal and stay on without incident. This happened twice within 5 minutes of each incident.
My passenger sliding door in a permanent locked position. I am not able to even manually open the door. This is security issue.
About a month ago the driver's side sliding door stopped working in my wife's 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan sxt. The lock will not actuate to either lock or unlock and so the door is stuck effectively locked and will not open. This is the only door that has this particular issue but a few times I have ridden with my wife I have noticed that the other door locks do not automatically trigger and auto-lock as they should when the vehicle is initially put into drive for about 10min after the vehicle has been in motion. The locked sliding door creates a safety hazard in my opinion since the door cannot be opened electronically or manually. The delayed activation of the auto-lock could also indicate a larger issue with either the door lock mechanisms in general or the electrical system that controls them. After searching online I have found that there is an abundance of issues like these concerning various years and models of Dodge minivans. Enough to possibly constitute a recall.
Driver's side manual sliding door won't open. Lock won't move. Worked one day and hasn't since.
