Door lock system has failed due to computer glitch. from what i have found on-line this problem has been happening for years and should be covered by a recall. *tr

2005 Dodge Caravan

The automatic locks stopped working. they are supposed to automatically lock at 15mph as a safety feature and then do not. it also means i have to enter the car only from driver side and manually lock or unlock all my doors and my trunk door does not lock at all. i consider this a safety issue as i have children as well as i can not secure my car when i am not in it. *tr

Locks no longer work with the fob or the automatic lock/unlock button in the car. the locks no longer lock when the car reaches 10 or 15 mph. if it stops working while your car is unlocked, you can not secure your vehicle because you can not manually lock the trunk. *tr

2005 Dodge Caravan

My power locks stopped working. the key fob beeped, but did nothing, and using the buttons within the car did nothing. i took it to a mechanic who fixed loose wires, and they worked again... for just a couple months. now they told me i need to have dodge "flash" the computer system, (for over $100!) but everything i've read online says that is only a temporary fix, and changing the fuse may fix it, again, temporarily. it seems to be a major defect and with children in the car, is a very major safety hazard. it's not okay to have to fix this repeatedly. *tr

Power door locks failed to work out of the blue, the only way to lock the vehicle now is to manually lock each door. the battery on the key fob was just replaced, non of the switches work. the only way to get the doors to lock or unlock is by manually pulling up pr pushing down on the lock piece, or by opening with a key. took to an independent auto shop. they could find no cause to the problem. *tr
