ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS MAKE A BUZZING SOUND WHEN LOCKING AND AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS THE DOOR LOCKS ARE COMPLETELY JAMMED SHUT. BOTH REAR DOORS AFFECTED AND NUMEROUS MENTIONS ONLINE OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MODELS. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY DOORS CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY OR VIA REMOTE TO ALLOW PASSENGERS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS DENIED A CLAIM TO REPAIR OR ISSUE A RECALL AND HAS ADVISED ME THAT THEY WAIT UNTIL THE NHTSA DIRECTS THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK THAT EXPOSES PASSENGERS TO BEING CONFINED IN THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY.

FIRST LEFT REAR SLIDING DOOR STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION, WOULD NOT OPEN. WAS REPAIRED BUT NOT UNDER WARRANTY. NOW RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCK IS ALSO STUCK AND UNABLE TO LOCK VEHICLE.

DRIVERS SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR IS LOCKED AND UNABLE TO BE OPENED USING THE KEY FOB OR BUTTONS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY EITHER. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN VIA ALL METHODS THE MESSAGE 'UNLOCK DOOR TO OPERATE' SHOWS ON THE MESSAGE PANEL IN THE DASH. ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY AND VIA KEY FOB AND BUTTONS INSIDE THE VEHICLE HAVE NO EFFECT. THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY ONE DAY, NO INTERMITTENT FAILURE LEADING UP TO THIS.
