| Latches/locks/linkage problems |
I have owned a 2007 town and county from new. Yesterday for the 6th time when I turned the vehicle off the left hand sliding door opened by itself. I called Chrysler some time back about this and they had no history of this happening. The vehicle has about 36,000 miles on it. We use the vehicle primarily for traveling and with our dogs. Can you imagine what could happen if I pulled into a rest area and the door opened by itself!!!.
The passenger side sliding door lock does not respond to the remote or inside control for locking and unlocking. It only works when controlled manually.
2007 Chrysler town and country minivan sliding door lock fails to open with power button or keyless fob. This requires a manual intervention to unlock the door and then manually open the door. This is a safety issue in case of emergency which would hamper immediate egress. Web sites suggest to reset the iod fuse or change out an expensive bcm. However, this only treats the symptom. There are no recalls or Chrysler help to identify or fix the root cause, not just the proximal cause. I have small children and believe this could be life threatening if the power/keyless locks fail to open during a traumatic event requiring immediate egress. This issue is found hundreds of times on the internet going back to 2004, but with no fix after 6 years? thank you for addressing this critical issue. This has been an issue for several months. Searching recalls . Gov failed to locate any other issues.
My 2007 t & c minivan has a faulty door latch assembly on the rear passenger slide door. The Chrysler dealerships replace on average 5 of these a week. You cannot go to the junk yard and get a replacement part, they are updating with brand parts because all the old parts are defective. The door will not pop up or down with the automatic locks. This is a chronic problem and it should be a recalll. The part is $400+ and the labor is $200+ just for a lock!.
