| Description of the problem | My power locks stopped working about a month ago. They will work manually but will not operate with the remote or the power lock button. Tried disconnecting battery and then re-connecting, tried remedy in handbook (turning key in ignition 4 times on and off , without actually starting it, and then depressing the power lock switch) which worked for two days. This is a safety issue!!! The locks are designed to automatically lock when reaching speed of approximately 20 mph. It does not. This is a safety issue!! Why doesn't dodge admit to this problem and provide a free software upgrade! Many people are experiencing the same problem. Google it, it's there plain as day! Is dodge hoping the problem will just go away by itself? This is a safety issue! Fix it! |
