| Description of the problem | Dodge caravan 2005 automatic door locks don't work properly. With small children this could be a real issue if they unlock or lock themselves in the car and the adult doesn't have the actual key on hand. Only way to get the doors or trunk open is manually with a key now and only driver's side door has a hole for the key. The automatic side doors work half the time and seem dangerous for toddlers since they are erratic open/closing. |
