1 Hatchback/liftgate Lock problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2003

On 4/17/02 I purchased a new 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan. This vehicle had been in the shop several times since the time of purchase. This time it was the airbag light again. According to the dealership, airbag diagnostic tests were performed and the left front seatbelt tensioner circuit was reprogrammed. I informed the mechanic that the second row seatbelts would not "lock" when you jerked on them, but according to the mechanic they were "operating normally at this time". I also had to have them look at the rear liftgate again. Per the dealership, the codes were reprogrammed again.
