Description of the problem	The door locks on my 2005 dodge caravan had stopped working. I naturally figured it was the fuse that controlled the door lock circuit. I could not find the door lock fuse, or even any instruction where to find the fuse in the owners manual. I went online and did a google search containing "2005 dodge caravan fuse location". I could not find any info on where the fuse is located, but i did find numerous other complaints regarding the exact issue i have. I turns out the 'fix' for this issue is a software upgrade to the vehicles bcm computer, as the installed software is bugged. I read it is a $130 charge to perform this update. My complaint is, why should the consumer have to foot the bill for a known defect with one the vehicles safety systems? It is obviously known that this problem exists as there is a fix for it, when will the company back its product? I am positive my complaint is not the only one of this nature, please have the company address this safety issue!
