Door Latch problems of the 2007 Dodge Caliber

2007 Dodge Caliber - steering pulls to both left and right for about first 10 minutes of driving (feels very sloppy). Pulls hard to the right while braking. Doors lock with car running.

A Dodge Caliber locked me out in the middle of nowhere with the vehicle running and the keys locked inside. This is an engineering defect. There is a computer which generates the "lock" signal and it should never do so without a driver as detected by the seat switch. This problem could be fixed with a line or two of code on the computer. It is possible for the car to lock out the driver who gets out to save his kids from a burning vehicle etc, so this is a safety hazard. A more common mishap would be the people with manual garage doors who get out to close the garage door, then the car locks itself with the keys in the car. No car should ever lock itself automatically without a driver as detected by the seat switch.

Front passenger door lock will not stay locked. The locks flip up and down and the door sometimes opens by itself. . . Been to dealer 5 times. . . . . They replaced mechanisms twice. Once they never looked at it after having it all day and once they claimed nothing wrong with it. . . Bought Dodge Caliber end June and had prob. Immediately; can lock doors and return to car and driver lock is open or door popped ajar.
