Description of the problem	On dodge 2005 grand caravans there is design flaw in the electric door locks that causes the electric door locks to quit working. The only alternative left to access the car from the outside is the driver side key or the tailgate key. The only alternative left from the inside is to manually push or lift the lock stem on each door. This is a serious problem for children and elderly passengers as they are not able to do manage the locks from the inside. From the outside a person must open the driver door with a key, then crawl to the passenger door to unlock it,if you can grasp the stem an pull it up. In an emergency situation this limited access could result in delayed entrance which could lead to injury or death. There is no way to know if the door locks or working or not. The failure is random and can only be temporarily worked around by resetting the programming by removing and re-inserting a fuse that can be accessed only via the engine compartment. This failure has occurred four times on my vehicle. A search of forums on edumunds. Com reveals numerous other affected owners. Dodges only offered solution is to reset the programming which is only a temporary fix. Due to the limited non-electric access to the vehicle and the potential for children/elderly to be trapped, this is a serious problem that the manufacturer, dodge, should repair at no charge.
