| Description of the problem | 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. |
