SLIDING DOOR OPENS ITSELF WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY. VERY DANGEROUS!

THE SLIDING DOOR SENSOR DID NOT TRIGGER AND PREVENT THE DOOR FROM CLOSING. IT CLOSED ON MY SONS HAND AND HIS FINGERS WERE STUCK IN THE DOOR UNTIL I MANUALLY OPENED IT. THIS WAS THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF.

ON FRIDAY, 10/28/2016, I WAS TRAVELING ON FLAT ROCK RD. IN STARR SC COMING HOME FROM WORK. I CROSSED OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR STARTED TRYING TO OPEN ON ITS OWN. THE DOOR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND THE DOOR LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP. I PULLED OVER. THE DOOR CONTINUED TRYING TO OPEN UNTIL I OPENED THE HOOD AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE. WHEN I CHECKED THE DOOR, IT WOULD NOT OPEN AND WAS SMOKING. I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM BACK CORNER OF THE DOOR ON THE OUTSIDE. I SAW A FLAME INSIDE. I HAD NOTHING TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH SO I FLAGGED DOWN A PASSING MOTORIST WHO THANKFULLY HAD A JUG OF WATER. BY THIS TIME, THE DOOR AND TRIM UNDER IT WERE ACTUALLY BURNING. I EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND FOUND THE FUSE FOR THE DOOR AND PULLED IT. LATER I...

SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OPENS AT RANDOM TIMES. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I AM NOT EVEN NEAR THE VEHICLE AND WILL COME OUT OF A STORE AND MY SLIDING DOOR IS WIDE OPEN, OR I WILL BE IN THE HOUSE AND COME OUT HOURS AFTER LOCKING THE CAR AND THE DOOR IS WIDE OPEN.

I OWN A 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IN THE PAST 5 OR 6 MONTS I BEING EXPERINCE PROBLEMS WHIT THE VAN. WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE SHOT OFF ON ME, IS BEING HAPPEN MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY. SOME DAY IS ONLY ONES SOME OTHERS SEVERAL TIMES. I GOT A SAFERTY RECALL IN MY VEHICLE I CALL THE DILLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COMPANY (CHRYSLER) DON'T HAVE THE PARTS JET. IN OCTOBER 2014 THE VEHICLE SHOT OF ON ME, TO AVOID CRASING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE I TRY TO STEERE TO THE LEFT, " A VERY DIFFICULT TO DO SENSE THE VEHICLE HAS NO BRAKES OR ANYTING FUNTIONAL" I END IT CRASHING INTO THE GARD RAIL. I WASENT INJURED TAHKS GOD MY KID WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE. I CONTACT CRHYSLER DEVERAL TIMES AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO FOLLW UP WHIT ME. THEY SEND AN ENGINEER TO SEE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE DASHBOARD BECAME HOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE ON 4/17/15, THE LEFT REAR SLIDING DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF. THIS OCCURRED ONCE ON 4/15/15 FOR THE FIRST TIME WHILE LEFT UNATTENDED IN A PARKING LOT. IT OCCURRED TWICE ON 4/16/15 WHILE LEFT UNATTENDED IN A DRIVEWAY. THE INCIDENT ON 4/17/15 WAS THE FIRST TIME THE DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR LOCKS AND WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH KEY FOB OR UNLOCK BUTTON ON BOTH FRONT DOORS. IT ALSO WILL NOT OPEN WITH A PULL ON THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE. YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK IT ON THAT DOOR BEFORE IT WILL OPEN. I THINK THIS WOULD CAUSE A ISSUE IF I EVER NEED TO GET MY KIDS OUT IN A HURRY! ALSO THIS VAN HAS 30000 MILES ON IT AND IT USES APPROXIMATELY 1-1/2 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. ITS NOT SHOWING ANY SIGHS OF LEAKING ANYWHERE IN THE ENGINE OR UNDER THE VAN AND NOT LEAVING ANY PUDDLES ANYWHERE. I ASKED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A DODGE VEHICLE.... IN MY EYES THAT SHOULD NOT BE USING THAT MUCH OIL. I AM USING WHAT IS REQUIRED 10W20 SAE ACCORDING TO ME OWNERS MANUAL. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCV VALVE...

THE BACK PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR KEEPS OPENING AND CLOSING ON IT'S OWN. THE KEY FOBS CAN BE NOWHERE ON OUR PERSON AND THE DOOR CONTINUALLY DOES THIS, EVEN WHEN LOCKED. I HAVE SEEN THIS COMPLAINT NUMEROUS TIMES ONLINE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. OUR DOG GOT INTO THE VAN WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND THE DOOR CLOSED TRAPPING HER IN THERE. THANK GOODNESS MY HUSBAND SAW HER AND GOT HER OUT BEFORE SHE DIED OF HEAT EXHAUSTION. IF THAT HAD BEEN A CHILD, IT COULD HAVE HAD A VERY TRAGIC ENDING. PLEASE USE WHATEVER PULL YOU HAVE TO MAKE DODGE FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT, MAIMED OR KILLED!! THANK YOU. *TR

THE SIDE SLIDING DOORS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL IS NEEDED. THE SIDE SLIDING DOORS HAVE REOPEN CONTINUOUSLY ON MANY OCCASIONS AFTER WE HAVE CLOSED & LOCKED THE DOORS. THE DOORS HAVE TRIED TO CLOSE WHEN WE ARE GETTING IN & OUT OF THE CAR & WE HAVE HAD TO QUICKLY OPEN THE DOOR TO MAKE SURE IT DID NOT CLOSE ON US. THE DOORS HAS FAILED TO CLOSE COMPLETELY THEY REOPEN ON THEIR OWN. I HAVE OBSERVED THIS MANY TIMES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION & IS NOT SAFE & CAN CAUSE INJURY. OUR VEHICLE CAN BE EASILY STOLEN AT ANYTIME BECAUSE THE DOORS OPEN RANDOMLY ON THEIR OWN. WE HAVE COME OUT OF THE STORE, THE MALL, TO FIND THE DOORS OPEN. MY HUSBAND HAVE BEEN CALLED OUT FROM WORK TO LOCK HIS VAN DOOR BECAUSE THE DOOR REOPENED ON...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR HAD WATER SEEPING IN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

MY 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR. THE DOORS BELT WHICH HOUSES AND PROTECTS THE WIRING THAT CONTROLS THE BUTTON & MOTOR WOULD BECOME LOOSE AND CAUSE THE DOOR TO POP BACK OPEN. DUE TO THIS ISSUE CONSTANTLY HAPPENING IT CAUSED THE PLASTIC CASING WHICH HOUSES THE RECALL PINS AND METAL WIRE THAT OPEN AND CLOSES THE DOOR TO CRACK AND EXPOSE THE METAL RECALL PIN. ONCE THE PLASTIC COVERING WAS FULLY CRACKED WHICH BY THE WAY HAPPENED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN FRONT OF A SERVICE MANAGER. THE DOOR THEN BECAME STUCK OPEN. WE COULDN'T EVEN CLOSE IT MANUALLY. I HAD HOPED THIS ISSUE WOULD HAD BEEN IN THE ORIGINAL DOOR RECALL SINCE THE WIRE STRAP HAD TO BE ZIPPY TIED DOWN. AND THE SAME WIRING HARNESS THAT NEEDED TO BE ZIPPY TIED DOWN DUE TO IT BECOMING LOOSE IS THE CAUSE...
