| Description of the problem | The locks on my 2005 dodge grand caravan no longer work. I am reading forum after forum and everyone with this year model is having the same problem. They are saying that dodge dealerships are having to replace the body control module and some are having to be reflashed. This is a huge problem, because the lights flash and you are unaware that your car is not being locked. It is open and vulnerable for all to enter. I only noticed this as i locked it (i thought) and then had to get right back in for something. This is a common problem among this year of vehicle and needs to have someone look into it. |
