| Description of the problem | I have 2005 dodge grand caravan. The automatic door locks have quit working and i understand that it is a software issue in the cpu. My main concern is that when you put it in drive and begin to move, the doors are supposed to lock when you get to 18mph or so. I have 4 year old twins that ride in car seats, and am not comfortable not having this feature working properly. It is also my understanding that the problem is very widespread among this model of vehicle. My hopes are that the problem can be addressed by dodge as i feel it is a safety hazard. Thank you. |
