DWA planner is not able to create path when goal position given

edit

We are using ROS Kinetic, and the packages and hardware that come with the Turtlebot3 but on a custom built robot. We changed the urdf robot model and the navigation parameters from the Turtlebot3 to correspond to our robot. We are able to create a map of a hallway using SLAM, but the navigation doesn't work correctly. We can start up the navigation package, estimate the robot's current position in RVIZ, and the local costmap will update. But when we give the robot a goal position to drive to the DWA Planner fails to produce a path. The navigation package tries to run recovery behaviors but ends up aborting eventually. Below is a link to screen shots showing the navigation running in RVIZ, with the local costmap and a goal position given and the navigation output when a goal position is given.

Below is debug output from the navigation package when the planner tries to find a new path.
