| Description of the problem | At any unknown time, the door locks will not lock, or unlock by way of using the key fob buttons. The button however does activate the horn, which would make you think the doors are locked,in reality they are not. This does not constitute a safe and secured vehicle. This problem has been brought to the service dept.'s of several dealerships with the answers being lightning in the sky, static from the seats, unknown electrical interference from somewhere(maybe space!. One service dept.'s charged $ 36. 72 to fix code. The next time though there was no charge?? Why the first time when it's still under warranty @ 26,000 miles .. This problem still exists. Why??? Former complaints from dodge p. U. Owner had similar situation and had to have his veh. Towed. This is unacceptable, another reason cited from dealers service dept was sliding across the seat could cause the problem, how do you do this when it has bucket seats?????? |
