Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Both the left and right side sliding doors of our 2016 dodge grand caravan sxt will not open because of defective solenoid valves inside the doors. We are unable to open the sliding doors electronically (push buttons or key fobs) or manually, due to the failed door actuator valves. As a result, the sliding doors are completely inoperable and stuck in the closed position. Occupants could easily be trapped in an emergency since they would have to climb into the front seat, or crawl out the rear hatch to exit the vehicle. This is a major safety hazard. The sliding doors started making a loud noise when we used the key fob to lock the doors. After a week or so, the loud noise stopped and the doors would no longer operate. Our vehicle is past the warranty date and the dealer states the repair is in excess of $2,300. We had the same issue with our 2007 grand caravan as well.
