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.

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.

Door locks failing to unlock.

On my dodge durango. I have around 60,000 miles on it. I take really good care of my car. My existing problem is my passenger side electrical lock. I have to manually open it every time, lock does not work and my back right hand window does not open. I had to replace the lock on my passenger side once at the dealership, it worked for a couple of months then went out again, plus as they were fixing the problem they left screw driver prints on my door, which really upset me.
