Electrical System
All the locks keep unlocking, and locking without anyone in or around the vehicle, because locks are locking and unlocking it is causing the battery to drain. The doors lock and unlock while van is in gear, while driving, and when van is not running without key in ignition. I have 2 children and believe this is a safety issue! *tr

This recall should be expanded to vehicles 10yrs old or…
