problem #1

Apr 252005

Dakota 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 18,000 miles
I started my vehicle and then left it to clear snow from its exterior. The vehicle locked me out. I was at home and got the spare key to let myself in. While I was driving, the vehicle repeatedly locked and unlocked the doors by itself. This has continued, and the vehicle also now locks and unlocks even when the key is not in the ignition.
