Description of the problem	My vehicle was in motion this morning (well beyond home and the point where the autolocks supposedly engaged) when my 2-year old managed to push the side door release button with a toy and the door started to slide open. The child safety lock indicator tab on the door indicated the child safety lock was engaged. Upon arrival at work, i googled this and found multiple reports of failing locks. I walked out to my car to find it unlocked, despite the fact that the horn had sounded indicating the vehicle was locked. I have been unable to figure out how to lock the lift gate, so it appears to me as if my car is permanently unlocked. This is a safety concern when the door can be triggered in motion or someone could enter my car through the lift gate. With all of the complaints out there - how is there not at least a tsb on this item? This is disgraceful given the demographic driving the grand caravan. I guess we want to wait for a child to fall out in transit or someone to be carjacked, raped, or killed?
