2000 Dodge Durango latches/locks/linkages problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR LOCKS FAILED AND WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE DOOR CONTROL PANEL AND DOOR MOTOR LOCKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. *TR”

“EVERY DOOR LOCK IN THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED CAUSING THE INABILITY TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY. THE LOCK SYSTEM FAILS IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND REMAINS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION CAUSING THE INABILITY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IF YOU DO A GOOGLE SEARCH YOU WILL NOTE THAT THERE ARE 100'S OF POSTINGS ON THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM A SAFETY STAND POINT TO NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN A DOOR DUE TO A FAULTY POWER LOCK. *TR”

“2000 DODGE DURANGO DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE COMMANDS. I HAVE READ ABOUT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DOOR LOCKS AND IT CONCERNS ME IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE DOORS WILL STAY SHUT, OR WORSE UNABLE FOR ANYONE TO ACCESS THAT DOOR. IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM IN ALL YEARS OF CARS. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A PLASTIC WHEEL POORLY DESIGNED. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH 2 DOOR LOCKS AND THE REAR HATCH. CURRENTLY, WE ARE FACED WITH AN ELECTRICAL DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. IT IS A NEW BATTERY AND STILL WILL NOT START. I HAVE MY SUSPICIONS THAT THESE DOOR LOCKS MAY HAVE A BEARING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE MATTER AS IT IS A DEFINITE FLAW AND A SAFETY HAZARD. THE REAR HATCH HAS NOT WORKED IN ABOUT 3 YEARS AND THE PASSENGER REAR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THE DRIVERS DOOR MAKES NOISES ABOUT 3 YEARS. *TR”

“THE POWER LOCKS WON'T WORK AND THE POWER WINDOWS WON'T WORK. IT'S A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE DURANGO. IF YOU EVER GET INTO A CAR WRECK YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET OUT. IT IS ALSO AT RISK FOR THEFT. *TR”

“2000 DODGE DURANGO. THE FRONT DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. IT CAN'T EVEN BE LOCKED MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY. THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK DOES NOT WORK. THE MOTOR QUIT WORKING. THIS IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS, BUT THE VEHICLE COULD BE STOLEN OR THE CONTENTS. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH DURANGOS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINT SIGHTS ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OVER AND OVER. THIS MUST BE A RECALL. MY DODGE VAN HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AT AROUND 57,000 MILES. *TR”

“2000 DODGE DURANGO. THE DRIVERS SIDE BACK DOOR LOCK MOTOR BROKE. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROX. 57,000 MILES ON IT. AT 60,000 MILES THE FRONT DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. CAN'T LEAVE ANYTHING IN THE VEHICLE. IT COULD GET STOLEN AND WORST OF ALL I COULD GET CAR JACKED BECAUSE THE DOOR WON'T LOCK. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH DURANGOS. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. AND THAT IS ONLY PEOPLE WHO TAKE THE TIME TO COMPLAIN. I ALSO HAVE A DODGE CONVERSION VAN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY FRIEND HAS A DODGE VAN ALSO AND HIS LOCKS ARE BROKEN TOO. *TR”
