Consumer Description

A FEW WEEKS AGO, IT STARTED WITH THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT, AND GATE OPEN LIGHT COMING ON WHEN NOTHING WAS OPEN. A LOT OF ICE BUILD UP (BAD SEALS) MADE THE DRIVER DOOR DIFFICULT TO LATCH. A WEEK AGO WE WERE DRIVING AND ALL OF THE LOCKS STARTED UNLOCKING REPEATEDLY. NOW WE CAN'T EVEN LOCK OUR TRUCK, IT UNLOCKS ITSELF. IT DOES THIS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS ON OR NOT. IT ALSO TURNS ON THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. THE SWITCHES DO NOT WORK TO LOCK THE DOORS. WE HAVE TO REMOVE THE FUSE (WHICH ALSO CONTROLS THE WIPERS, BAD IDEA) TO STOP THE LOCKS FROM UNLOCKING. ALSO, IT ARMS THE SECURITY SYSTEM ( I THINK)AND MAKES IT SO THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF ON IT'S OWN. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE NOW THAT I MY VEHICLE UNLOCKS ITSELF AND SHUTS OFF. LAST NIGHT WE CAME OUT TO THE PARKING LOT TO DISCOVER IT UNLOCKED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE TURNING ON AND OFF THE WHOLE TIME. I HAVE TO TAKE MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THIS VEHICLE. I KNOW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF DURANGOS AND CHRYSLER BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEING IGNORED. *JB
