2005 Dodge GRAND CARAVAN Latches Locks Linkages Problems, Complaints and Defects

File date	15/02/10

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I purchased the van used (1 owner) around 74,500 miles. I noticed that the headlights flickered for a good 30 secs. After using anything else electrical. After a few weeks, the power door looks stopped working. The rear hatch still would lock/unlock. I reset the system by unplugging the battery. This fixed the light flickering problem, but only worked temporarily for the locks. I eventually took it to the dealer to "flash" the computer, and update software on the bcm. This worked also for a few days, but now again the locks are not working. Now the dealer is saying that the bcm must be faulty, and needs to be repaired/replaced. This is going to cost $500-$600! I feel that this is a safety issue, especially because i have a small child. I need to count on being able to lock/unlock my vehicle in a timely manner because i don't work in the nicest neighborhood. I have now made my first payment of the van, which was less then what i have already put into it for repairs. Chrysler should offer to fix this problem or at least offer some sort of compensation, especially with so many customers having the same problem.
