| Description of the problem | The automatic power door locks suddenly fail to work. The doors can not be locked/unlocked with the door switch or the remote key. The doors fail to lock after approaching a 18mph speed also. It is stated in the owners manual that this is a safety feature on the vehicle. I understand from several other reports of the same problem, that there is a software update, but dodge is not correcting this problem without a significant charge. This is a safety feature that is failing to operate, therefore i believe, along with many others that this vehicle should be recalled to correct to problem. |
