I have been a plymouth minivan owner since 1989, and our latest one (1996 has given us alot of enjoyment, but not without a 1and 1/2 inch thick repair file that started the very first month we bought it. Recently I just experienced my 5th failure of a sliding door, automatic lock mechanism and would like to know why a recall or dsb has not been issued. Two (2) locks were replaced under the one year or 12k mile warranty and three(3) were not. Along with all the other problems I've experienced with this vehicle, this has curred me from ever buying another chrysler product, (even though I do like the dodge trucks.
