| Description of the problem | I must say how very troubling it is to see so many of us with the same complaint filing here on this web site about the safety issue with the power lock elements on these mini vans!!!! I too have had nothing but trouble starting when i purchased this vehicle a 2005 grand caravan by dodge. With two young children (one in my arms) in the rain attempting to unlock one (1) door (drivers) with a key because the added convenience of a key fob door lock and unlock function refuses to stay working time after time. Although there are many "quick" fixes on the internet by every other irritated consumer, they just don't work period. Dodge technicians don't even seem to know what is wrong, they just through fuses and parts at it to attempt to rectify the situation. Dodge must have an inkling of what is going on??? You people here at the nhtsa and the ntsb have got to help us. I'm sure even some people you know or even you yourself have had this problem. |
