Consumer Description

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE CAR IS WITH THE KEY, AND THERE'S NO KEYHOLE EXCEPT ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. DEALER FIXED IT ONCE: $89. SECOND TIME, HE CHARGED $400 FOR A NEW BODY MODULE. EACH TIME IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AFTER ABOUT THREE MONTHS. HE FIXED IT ONCE MORE WITHOUT CHARGE, THEN SAID $89 EACH TIME THEREAFTER. ANOTHER MECHANIC WENT OVER THE WIRING ALL THE WAY TO EACH DOOR AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. I HAVE STOPPED PAYING FOR THE FIXES. I HAVE TRIED THE UNHOOKING THE BATTERY AND UNPLUGGING THE FUSE TRICKS BUT THEY DON'T WORK. SO I DRIVE WITHOUT POWER LOCKS AND DEAL WITH THE NUISANCE OF MANUAL LOCKS. (THE ELECTRIC WINDOW MOTOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE ALSO FAILED - ANOTHER $400 BILL. THIS IS MY NINTH CHRYSLER PRODUCT BUT FROM NOW ON I WOULDN'T TAKE ONE IF THEY GAVE IT TO ME). *TR
