2007 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

THE POWER LOCKS HAVE QUIT WORKING ON THE REAR SLIDING DOORS WHERE MY CHILDREN SIT. NO WAY TO UNLOCK DOORS FROM OUTSIDE TO REMOVE CHILDREN IN CASE OF ACCIDENT. THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE UNLESS MANUALLY PULLED UP. THIS IS A VERY VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE. ONLY ONE MANUAL KEY HOLE TO UNLOCK VAN ON DRIVERS DOOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR PASSENGERS ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. *TR
