Failure of electrical system on 2005 Dodge Caravan, namely power door lock failure, including with key fob, switch on inside of vehicle and automatic locking mechanism. Can be remedied by disconnecting battery and reconnecting or removing fuse and replacing. This only helps for up to 2 days. Bought my van used at 115,000 miles, but every complaint I have read started at 40,000 miles. More than 40 complaints on one website alone. Widespread problem among this model. My almost 2 year old son was able to open the door and climb out of the van on his own. Thankfully we were stopped and parked. Could have been a tragedy had we been in motion, and if I did not keep him securely fastened in his car seat until the vehicle stops. This was after resetting the battery for about the 20th time in the less than one year since I purchased my van. But again it had failed and the automatic locking mechanism hadn't engaged. I know that many have complained to Dodge directly, but they refuse to acknowledge it as a safety issue and recall the electrical system. Not the only problem I have found with the electrical system. Others include headlights going out while driving, and turn signals not working properly, etc. People with small children (especially multiple small children) are a huge number of consumers for this vehicle and it would be a shame to have someone get hurt because Dodge doesn't think it is a safety concern. I do and many others do as well. Will it take a death of a small child for someone to get a recall initiated?.
