door locks failing
My Dodge 2008 has door lock problems. Just before the 60,000 km warranty wore off, the rear drivers side door quit working on the power switch on the driver's door or with the key fob. You had to manually lock and unlock it. It seemed to spread and within a week or two the doors all stopped working on the power locks. I took it into my Dodge dealer (where I bought it) and they fixed it, unfortunately it had, between my call and my appointment, gone over the 60,000 km and it was off warranty. The dealer kindly paid for 1/2 of the work, but it was still several hundred dollars. They replaced the wiring in the first door that quit (drivers side rear), replaced the latch on the passenger side rear and replaced the switch box on the drivers door. I have gone another 50,000 km and it is doing it again, the driver's side rear door won't work on the power switch or key fob and has to be manually locked and unlocked. It has been more than a year so there is no warranty on the work. It is getting to be pretty frustrating - is it going to fail every 50 - 60 thousand km? I was hoping to keep this truck for a long time, but maybe even trucks are "throw away" in this day and age. My son drives a 15 year old Dodge with over 400,000 km on it and I was hoping mine might last like that too.
