“2005 Chrysler Town And Country with 70000 miles for the last year every few weeks the powers locks stop working and I find that I have to pull a fuse out and replace it, the fuse is still good but resets the door locks for a few days to sometimes a few weeks. But then again you stop try to lock the doors hear the horn beep as if the locks set but they do not.”
NHTSA complaint #10367242, filed 2010-11, 60,000 miles“Power locks on the back sliding doors do not work. This is a big safety concern. I have to pull the lock up very hard from one side as I pull on the handle on the other side. This is happening on both doors of the vehicle. If their was an accident or fire it would be very hard to get my child out of the back seat. I am asking for a recall. I was looking this problem up online and their are pages of complaints and forums of people with the same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10579450, filed 2014-04, 134,000 miles“I have a 2005 Chrysler Town And Country it started with my locks stopping working I disconnected it and than it worked for a couple of weeks than it would go out again. Now my ABS and traction control light came on and quit working for a week now the light went out and works I tried the battery thing again but did not work. I'm afraid the computer may stop working when diving. I only have 48,000 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #10312476, filed 2010-02, 30,000 miles“My power locks do not work with the fob or with the inside power lock button. I've read so many complaints online about this exact issue that it is actually making me more angry. The door looks are a pretty basic feature of a vehicle. Not to mention the fact that people don't normally buy minivans unless they have kids etc. We have 3 kids and not having this door lock feature is ridiculous. By the way, it makes the automatic opening doors pretty useless, bc they won't unlock!”
NHTSA complaint #10586977, filed 2014-05, 102,000 miles“I am experiencing at 80k miles on my Town And Country, faulty rear door locks. I am extremely concerned about this issue secondary to having two small children. The automatic door locks no longer work. I fear that my children will open the doors while the car is in drive. This is not only a huge inconvenience of crawling through the vehicle to lock and unlock doors, but I am majorly concerned of my children's safety.”
