| Description of the problem | My 2005 dodge caravan door locks have stopped working. I took the van to the dealer and they completed a fix that did not last 24 hours but it cost me $100. When we took it back they billed me another $100 to say that i needed the bcm replaced at a cost of $400. In doing my research i see that this most likely would not fix the problem. I feel it is very dangerous the only way to unlock the van is to go to the drivers side where there is a key entry point. God forbid if my family is ever in the car and i can not enter from the drivers side ajd the doors are locked. |
