| Description of the problem | 2005 dodge grand caravan door locks no longer work using the remote or the buttons inside the van. Not sure what is causing the issue. Vehicle has 56,000 miles and has been well maintained. The locks do not engage when the vehicle is in motion, which it normally would do. I see this as a safety issue. Only two of five doors have keyed locks which can be manually locked/unlocked with the key, but when you have children and a stroller, crawling through the vehicle while children are unattended creates another safety concern in my mind. I believe the remaining dodge dealerships should fix this defect at no charge to dissatisfied owners who are experiencing this problem. |
