These are unverified consumer reports filed with NHTSA, shown as submitted.

• 12/31/2024· SEATS

  The driver's headrest deployed without collision. The incident occurred at an auto service center and I noticed when the vehicle was returned to me. The mechanic inspected the headrest and stated a part in the headrest broke causing it to deploy. He advised to call the dealer for repair. The incident has been reported to the dealer and I am waiting for a return call. There were no warnings for seat malfunction or symptoms prior to deployment. Headrest is available for inspection. This defect puts the driver at risk for concussion, head and neck injuries that could affect the ability to control the vehicle.

  Noticed oil where I normally park my vehicle. Took the van into a mechanic so he could look at it. He stated that the oil leak came from a broken/ cracked oil filter housing. Which he also stated it was an issue among multiple Grand Caravans that have been brought in. It did not give me a warning and the mechanic said if it would have fully broken I could have lost all oil and my engine could have seized up. Which poses a concern considering it is my daily driver and it did not warn me about low oil. I’ve also taken it to the same repair shop for issues with the fuel injectors and coils. Which could be an issue because that caused stalling while I was driving on the highway.

  Premature failure of valve lifters and damage to exhaust and intake camshafts. Engine had 59074 miles on it and used appropriate Valvoline synthetic blend oil since approx 15,000 miles. Valve train started ticking and got progressively louder in less than a two week period. Engine oil system was flushed and reserviced with appropriate Valvoline synthetic blend oil once again. Valve ticking got progressively louder and the vehicle went in for repairs. Valve Lifters had premature bearing failure on multiple Lifters causing excessive wear on both the Exhaust and Intake Camshafts as well as the Valve Lash Adjusters. The vehicle was outside of the warranty window. Cost for repairs was $2,272.34. I was informed by the garage who did the repairs that this is a ongoing problem with the Pentar 3.6L

  The driver side passenger sliding door lock actuator is frozen, keeping the door perpetually locked. The passenger sliding door actuator will not lock at all, so the passenger sliding door is perpetually unlocked. I've been told by an auto mechanic that the passenger side sliding door is in danger of permanently locking as well. If that's the case, passengers will have to enter by the front doors (or the back hatch, which is too inconvenient). In the case of an accident, I'm concerned that exiting the vehicle will be dangerous for backseat passengers. I understand that there's an extended warranty for the 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan lock actuators, but the extended warranty only includes those manufactured after May 1, 2015. My 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan was manufactured February 2015. My family budget is really tight, and the prospect of putting $1500 to $2000 down for repairs to these doors is cost prohibitive. The doors are available for inspection. The vehicle has been inspected by a local auto service center mechanic and the actuators were confirmed as the problem by the service center. There was no warning of failure of the actuators beforehand.

  THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, NOT RUNNING AND HAD NOT BEEN IN ANY KIND OF COLLISION. WHEN I INSPECTED THE INSIDE OF THE HEADREST, THE PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE METAL PIN WERE COMPROMISED. THE METAL PIN IS STILL IN PLACE, BUT THE PLASTIC PRONGS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HOLD ONTO THE PIN TO KEEP THE HEADREST IN PLACE BOTH FAILED. ONE CRACKED AND IS PARTIALLY ATTACHED. THE OTHER PRONG CAME OFF COMPLETELY. I BELIEVE THE PLASTIC BROKE FROM BEING UNDER PROLONGED TENSION. WHY WOULD SOMETHING THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE A SAFETY FEATURE BE MADE OUT OF SOMETHING AS FLIMSY AS PLASTIC? I'M SO THANKFUL THAT I WASN'T DRIVING WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES. THERE ARE MANY OTHER REPORTS OF DODGE CUSTOMERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (AHR) SYSTEM SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. THE HEADREST SHOULD NOT DEPLOY BY ITSELF. UNFORTUNATELY, FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, DODGE IS CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBILITY AND THE ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPAIR IS AROUND $900, BUT MOST PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD THAT AND DON'T WANT TO PAY IT ANYWAY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. DODGE SHOULD BE REPAIRING THESE HEADRESTS AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMERS.

  While driving the van, the van started making a whining noise. Then it would hesitated to shift gears. Upon accelerating in traffic, the engine would rev up, then the transmission would grab gear sharply. At every stop light the van does not shift forward. It sits there and the engine revs up, but does not shift gears. The van has to be turned off then restarted in order to drive out of first gear. Warning light came on eventually. After scanning at a local auto parts store, the code was P083B. P083B Code: Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor / Switch “G” Circuit Range / Performance. My family's safety and the safety of others put at risk because we were in traffic at a stop light where we were not able to accelerate and leave the intersection and were in danger of getting rear ended by traffic coming at us once the light was green.
