| Description of the problem | On or around feb 26 i discovered that the auto door locks were not working nor was i able to unlock or lock my doors from the inside with the inside lock switch. If my wife was trying to outrun an assailant she would not be able to unlock or lock the doors automatically when seconds could be crucial. Not to mention the fact that the lights flash with using the remote errantly indicating that the doors were locked. At this point i have'nt fixed the problem but i understand that dodge has an update fix. This should be a recall. |
