| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 dodge grand caravan, the locks quit working, it use to auto lock ounce you hit 20 mph and now it doesn't so the doors can be opened at any speed any time, as well as you can not unlock the doors unless you unlock the only lock on the exterior which is the on drivers side so my 3 and 4 year old have to wait on the curb while i go around to unlock the driver door then climb in to unlock their doors so that they can get in, the whole time im praying they don't go out into the street. I researched the problem and found out it is very common in this vehicle but dodge wont fix the issue. |
