2006 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A 2006 DODGE CARAVAN. AND THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY POWER LOCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDER. IT WILL ONLY WORK MANUALLY AND WILL NOT WORK POWERED. THIS STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO FOR THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE THE WEBSITE IS : HTTP://AUTOFORUM.CLASSIFIEDS1000.COM/DODGE-GRAND_CARAVAN/POWER_LOCKS_WILL_NOT_LOCK_OR_UNLOCK .

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CARAVAN SLX ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE STOPPED WORKING I TOOK IT IN AND THEY FIXED IT RIGHT AWAY. IN JUNE 2010 MY VAN DOOR THE SAME ONE THAT WAS BROKE FROM BEFORE CAME OPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER. I REPORTED THIS TO DODGE AND CHRYSLER CORP. AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THERE VAN AND REPORTED IT. I AM WORRIED THAT ONE OF MY FOUR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO FALL OUT THE DOOR AND GET HURT OR EVEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DODGE FIX MY VAN BECAUSE IT ISN'T MY FAULT THE DOOR IS BROKE AND IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

SINCE A DEALER DID A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB ON MY 2006 DODGE CARAVAN, THE PARKING BRAKE WON'T RELEASE SOMETIMES. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON AND IT RAINS. THE DEALER SAID IT'S DUE TO THE TYPE OF MATERIAL THE BRAKE SHOES ARE MADE OF, (OEM PARTS TOO) SO DON'T USE THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN IT RAINS?! *TR
