IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER MINI-VANS WITH POWER LOCKS START TO FAIL AT ABOUT 6 YEARS OF AGE. THREE FRIENDS & I HAVE MINI-VANS WHO'S PASSENGER DOORS CANNOT BE UNLOCKED AT ALL MANUALLY, AND THEY WON'T STAY UNLOCKED. ONCE UNLOCKED WITH THE POWER BUTTON OR KEY. THIS COULD EASILY TRAP A CHILD INSIDE IN AN ACCIDENT. WE HAVE TO HOLD THE POWER LOCK BUTTON IN THE UP POSITION TO EVEN OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF MY FRIENDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ARE: SCOTT & STACY HILL 968 DON JUAN # 5; COLO. SPGS. CO 80909; 473-4303; '92 MINI-VAN. CARLOS & JULIA MELENDEZ 12570 OLD BARN RD.
