| Description of the problem | The power locks on the vehicle did not operate. This was a great inconvenience and could lead to driver's not locking the doors and causing injuries in the event of an accident. I have a cousin who was visiting from out of state and he noticed the problem with the locks. He had the same year of dodge caravan and experienced the same problem ,and had to the dealer several times before it was fixed. I believe that a recall should be issued because i did not believe that the doors will be locked manually and unlocked manually by users of these cars.*ak |
