| Component | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The automatic locks do not work on my recently purchased 2005 dodge caravan. The problem is, that there is no key option on the passenger side of the vehicle. The dealership has fixed it 3 times already since i purchased it and will not take the van back. The locks are an issue as i have three children, two in car seats and i am not able to access them from outside the vehicle. *the horn beeps when you push the lock button on the auto key lock control so you assume the car is locked. After later inspection you realize that the locks didn't actually work. (i had an item stolen from my car last night when i was under the impression the locks had worked based on the horn sound). |
