| Description of the problem | We own a 2005 dodge caravan and the automatic door locks just quit working. We took it to our car repair and they were able to get them working again, but only for a couple of days. We eventually took it back to same repair and they called chrysler for information regarding part replacement. We took the van to a dealership where it was put on a machine to read and determined a part needed replaced. It was replaced and work approximately two hours and quit. If you go on the web you will find numerous complaints regarding this same problem. Step up to the plate and tell those of us with this problem how to rectify permanently. It does not need to wait until someone is injured or killed because these locks don't work. I have spent nearly $500. 00 in repairs not withstanding the number of times without my vehicle and the inconvenience of back and forth to the repair shop. The vin number on this vehicle . |
