Description of the problem	The power door locks have been failing intermittently for 3 yrs. I unhook the iod fuse or the battery cable momentarily and this seems to work for a while. The door locks would work for a short time - then fail again until i repeated the fuse or battery cable removal procedure. As time went on the fix would last less & less time. Currently, the locks may only work for a day or so. This is unacceptable. My wife was really scared the other day when someone was approaching the car and she could not lock the doors. She was in an unfamiliar location with the 4 year old in the back seat. While it actually turned out to be a false alarm, it did open my eyes. While i have been just "fixing" it all the time, i realized that i cannot control when and where it will happen and you cannot always get out and reset the fuse. This is a program (firmware) that is failing on a large number of vehicles, see links below. This poses a safety hazard as the van cannot be secured without manually locking all doors, which leaves the tailgate. Why should consumers have to pay for a manufacturer defect? Someone needs to protect the consumer..... I am taking the van in to request it be reprogrammed. I am not going to wait until something bad actually happens first. Just a couple of links: http://www.
