I have been having problems with my door locks for quite some time now. When I press the button to lock or unlock it will not work and it makes a loud noise.I have to unlock the doors by hand. I have checked with my mechanic and he tells me its probably the motor and it would have to be replaced in each door at about $150.00 each door. I bought my car new in 2000 I love the car but hate this problem.

2000 chrysler concord - in the past 3 years door relays (control locks and power windows) have failed 4 times in my car. The service advisor at a chrysler dealership knew the part and cost as soon as I started to describe my problem. She stated that this was a condition she was very familiar with. My private service center also was familiar with this failure. When these componets fail; power windos won't work and doors can't be electrically unlocked. I believe this condition presents a serious safety condition. If indeed there is a recognizable failure rate of these components the problem needs to be addressed. The possible results are that people stand to be trapped in crashed or burning vehicles.

Automatic door locks do not operate properly. When unlock lever is used, the locks do not unlock and the individual unlock buttom on each door must be pulled up. However, you cannot pull up these buttoms until the automatic unlock lever is first activated.this represents a safety hazzard because the rear doors cannot be opened by someone seated in the rear seats unless someone pushes the automatic unlock lever located on the front two doors. In addition, the front driver's door lock cannot be locked until the automatic door locking lever is first pushed to lock and then the door button must be pushed down manually. Failure to follow these steps would enable an intruder to open the door from the outside.
