| Description of the problem | The rear doors of my 2002 dodge ram quad cab truck will not unlock. The problem has been reported to my dealer on several occasions, but has not been fixed, since it is not covered by a current recall. The truck is out of warranty, and i cannot afford to have the problem fixed (i'm still making $400+ monthly payments on the truck). At this time, i have not suffered any consequences. Possible consequences are that a rear seat passenger (especially a child) can become trapped in the rear seat of the vehicle. A kit/part is available (dodge part number 5086593aa) to fix this problem, so it is a known problem.*ak |
