I also had the power door lock problem. I got the update as well. I called Chrysler to give them a chance to make good on the problem because I believe that locks are a safety issue and should be a recall item and the fact that there was a software update to correct it means they know that the problem exists. They told me that they don't decide which items to recall and that the NTSB makes that decision. It turns out that you can make formal complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and they will do an investigation. Their website is www.nhtsa.dot.gov or you can call them at 1-888-327-4236. If they decide on a recall you will get your money back on the software update.

We have the same problem. The quick (FREE) fix is to pull the IOD fuse and count to 5 and put the fuse back in. This resets the power lock "computer". The IOD fuse is a 20 Amp Yellow fuse in front of the fuse box, closest to the drivers headlight. We have to do this every 6-8 weeks.
