BACK PASSENGER DOOR LOCK IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. NOTHING WILL UNLOCK IT. DANGEROUS FOR THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK, THEY CAN'T GET OUT ON THAT SIDE.

WHILE DRIVING AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKING ON/OFF WHILE DRIVING ON EVERY OCCASION FOR LAST 1-2 MONTHS. ALSO WHILE DRIVING WOULD SAY RIGHT REAR SLIDING DOOR WAS OPEN WITH LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING. AIR BAG LIGHT HAS SINCE GONE OFF AND CAME BACK ON/OFF BUT INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES REAR SLIDING DOOR SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TRYING TO LATCH. LOCAL GARAGE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG IT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE THAT STARTED WITH AIRBAGS AND FROM READING THERE IS A TAKATA RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLES CAUSING A CIRCUIT SHORTAGE LIKE THIS.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Dodge Caravan verdict →
