| Description of the problem | 2005 sxt dodge caravan power door lock failure, after 1 minute on the web i have found people with the exact same problem as i, to the tee! This is obviously a problem with the manufacture and software/firmware. Dodge has a fix. Why has this not been recalled yet? Such a simple fix of a firmware upgrade would save many hours of frustration. I am very upset that this problem is so well know and has happened exactly the same way to others and nothing has been done to right the problem. My power doors locks have stopped working yet the lights still blink when using the remote and the rear tailgate will work. After replacing the battery they worked again then quit after a few days. I could have just copied this straight off the forums i have been reading... Its is the exact same thing going on that everyone else is experiencing also. Please issue a recall notice and have dodge take care of this problem. Thanks |
