2 Crankcase (pcv) problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2014

Passenger side rear sliding door locks and will not unlock with key fob or unlock button on both front doors. It also will not open with a pull on the inside door handle. You have to manually unlock it on that door before it will open. I think this would cause a issue if I ever need to get my kids out in a hurry! also this van has 30000 miles on it and it uses approximately 1-1/2 quart of oil every 1000 miles. Its not showing any sighs of leaking anywhere in the engine or under the van and not leaving any puddles anywhere. I asked the Dodge dealership and they said this was normal for a Dodge vehicle. . . . In my eyes that should not be using that much oil. I am using what is required 10w20 sae according to me owners manual. I have replaced the pcv valve and still continuing to loose oil.
