Automatic door lock mechanism failure. I have had two auto lock mechanism failures on my 2000 Durango. I believe this is an important safety issue - I can not open the door - in an emergency this could be critical.

Power locks-I have had problems with the power locks on my vehicle since I purchased the vehicle. Every year since 2000, the vehicle has to be taken in because the power locks start making a noise when the doors lock automatically or when you lock the doors using the button. I just had the locks fixed again about two months ago and now the locks are making the same noise again. Luckily I have all my service receipts and I am hoping the dealership here in Alabama will fix my vehicle locks free of charge since it has been an ongoing problem. Zkm.

Just bought a used 2000 Dodge Durango slt. The power locks only work on 3 out of 5 doors properly. When I use the power locks they let out a high pitched grinding noise. I am afraid my kids may become locked inside the car and be unable to get out due to the problem with the power locks.
