Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge grand caravan. while driving 25 mph, the passenger side sliding door opened without warning. the contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and attempted to close the door automatically by depressing the sliding door button; however, it failed to close the door. the contact had to close the door manually. the vehicle was taken to titusville chrysler jeep dodge (5600 u.s. 1, titusville, fl 32780, (321) 268-8970) where it was diagnosed that the motor switch needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 163,000. the vin was not available.
The automatic lock system on my 05 dodge grand caravan doesn't work, with the key fob or when pushing the automated lock buttons inside the vehicle. the car beeps like it is locking when you push the key fob. however, it really isn't locking. after doing some research, i have found that this is a common issue with the 2005 dodge caravan models. that being said, i contacted the dealership & was told that there has not been a recall, because this is "not considered a safety issue." how is this not a safety issue? dodge, themselves, actually calls part of the automated lock system a "safety feature." the system is supposed to automatically lock, once you reach a speed of 15 mph. well, this no longer works either. how is it called a "safety feature" when it works, but then it isn't a "safety issue" when it doesn't work? i physically cannot lock the passenger doors myself, when driving. i either have to remember to do it before i leave, make sure the person that gets out does it before they leave, pull over to lock them, or drive with them unlocked. that's not safe! i attend night school ...
Went to the van and tried to lock the doors but the electronic door locks are not working. i been reading that the system needs a update. why does the company know that the update is needed but want to make money off of us for their errors. *tr
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.
The automatic door locks failed. they do not lock at 18mph, they do not open or close by button or key fob. have discovered hundred of complaints about this issue. dealer data suggests flashing the bcm however not a permanent cure, dealers replacing other parts ie motors, actuators wiring, fraudulently to allegedly repair a known defect in software or the bcm themselves. this is a safety issues and a extreme inconvenience to disabled persons trying to reach door locks inside of vehicles as there are no key options except drivers door and hatch. hatch cannot be locked when this failure occurs. *tr

Power door locks fail to operate either with switches or key fob on some of the doors. can't get into the vehicle on doors that don't have key holes. doors don't lock when leaving vehicle parked causing potential theft opportunity. *tr
The power door locks of my 2005 dodge grand caravan are not able to be opened using the door switch or the keyfob. the only way to open the doors is by manually pulling the lock. also, once the vehicle is driving the locks do not close at the 18 mph mark as stated in the operating manual. i feel this is a safety issue for myself and my children and would hoe that dodge values its customers enough to see it as that too. after searching online for a possible cause or cure i stumbled upon a tsb (08-040-04) issues regarding this issue. a simple tsb is not enough to resolve this issue. customers should not be charged to repair a known problem with a dodge vehicle. *js
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge grand caravan. after exiting the vehicle, the contact attempted to lock the doors and the locks failed to engage. the contact had to remove the i.o.d fuse from the fuse box and reset the computer in order for the locks to engage. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 20,000. the vin was unavailable.
Doors lock themselves and door lock switch fails to function intermittently. *tr
My vans locks don't work anymore on the remote on by pushing the button but if i charge the battery even if its not dead it'll work for a couple days i feel this should be fixed for safety. *tr
Electric operation of locks quit and has not resumed. neither keys remote feature works to lock or unlock the van, although they both cause the lights to flash as usual. lock switches on driver and front passenger doors also do not work. manual locking via the old fashioned buttons works ok, as do key locks on rear hatch and driver's door. *tr
Power door locks stop working. does not lock at 20mph. *tr
Door locks stopped working, no one fuse to change for it, different forums says to unhook battery cable and fuses to restore power to door locks, this worked for about 3 days, door locks are not working again. over it!!!! *tr
