Power Door Locks Not Working Problems of Dodge Grand Caravan

Passenger sliding door locks are failing. Make very loud buzzing noise when activated. Sounds like a wrong answer buzzer. . . And it is loud enough to startle passengers. One side seems to not unlock on first try. This happens anytime locks are activated to lock or unlock, both while moving and while stationary.

Left rear door lock is inoperative. Door will not unlock with remote (power lock) or manually. About a month ago, the power lock started failing intermittently. As of 5/6/2020, the lock is frozen in the locked position. This appears to be a common issue with this vehicle from model years 2010 forward, linked to a failed door lock actuator. This is a safety hazard in that rear passengers will have great difficulty exiting the vehicle in case of an emergency.

Sliding door lock will not unlock. It is stuck in the lock position. Can not unlock it through remote, interior switch or manually. The door is shut and will not open, which is a safety hazard. Vehicle was parked when I went to do groceries. Returned to vehicle and the drivers side sliding door would not unlock.

Sliding doors locks fail and make it impossible to open doors. Causing a safety hazed when trying to exit the vehicle.

Driver side rear passenger door lock will not work. The lock actuator fails and does not engage the lock. This occurs at 15 miles per hour when the door is supposed to auto lock.

Left hand sliding door lock will not unlock, I can here the lock try to open but does not open.

The passenger side rear door lock actuator failed causing the door locks to get stuck in the lock position. The door lock will not move to the unlock position and the door will not open. This happens on the street while driving and passengers had to exit the vehicle from another door. This is extremely dangerous as if I had an accident no one would be able to escape from that door. Looking online it appears this is common with this model.

Intermittent loss of all dashboard indicator lights and gauges. Electric door locks will not work. Sometimes all malfunctions will clear themselves, sometimes I must slap the top of the dashboard with my hand several times to clear the malfunction. I have only seen this with vehicle in motion and on all roads.

It first started with the passenger side sliding door lock. It would not automatically lock and had to be done manually. Now the driver's side door lock will not go up and down automatically nor will it do it manually. The door will also not open at all from inside or outside. This is a safety issue because passengers are not able to get out of the vehicle from that side.

I love our van as far as convenience and features, but have had progressive electrical issues. The first issue was the automatic sliding doors stopped working. We had to switch off the power and use them manually. The interior light at the driver's side slide shorted out. Every now and then it decides to work. Then the door locks on both of the slides stopped working. Some times the door locks will not unlock the lift gate and we have to open it with the key. The front map lights work some of the time. My front windows have stopped working at different times and the begin working again. Sometimes the things have reset if I had to get my battery jumped off or when I replaced my battery. The most concerning thing to me is that my right rear brake light and turn signal lights keep blowing. I have replaced them numerous times and the last time it still did not work. Now I just don't have a light. Not sure how expensive this will be to fix. Very frustrated at the continuous and complex issues that are going on. Seems that there should be a recall since I have heard of various others that I know having these type of issues.

The first problem was the automatic door locks failed to function when reaching the required speed. Even would not lock with the key took it to mechanic was advised that would have to replace the computer, but by disconnecting the battery that it would reset the computer, it is only a temporary solution. Second problem was the door motor stop working had that replaced. Third problem was the front axle broke with no apparent wear, had that replaced. Now it's the gas tank, car wants to stall was advised by mechanic that the gas tank would have to be replaced, that it is a defective valve that has since been corrected in the newer models.
