Description of the problem	I bought new 2005 dodge grand caravan. Within 30,000 miles door locks worked erratic, doors would lock on their own with no one in vehicle... Locked keys in several times.. All checked good at dealer... Eventually got where door locks would not work at all... By 37,000 miles dealer said vehicle was out of warranty and repair was about $900. 00. I have been resetting body control module by pulling fuse. Locks will work for a few days before failing... Have also had side doors open on their own while going down road... This whole thing is frustrating..... Have friends with 2005 models with same symptoms who have paid the big bucks for repairs and still have same issues... I see on internet forums this is a major issue with the 2005 models... Most say it is a software update on the body control module which the dealer is not aware of but still wants to charge for.... I find that hard to believe... I doors locking, unlocking, opening while going down road is a very serious safety concern on a 7 passenger vehicle.... Can you please help!
