The back drivers side motor makes a grinding noise, and the lock does not work. Now the front drivers side door won't lock at all. This needs to be recalled because I can't lock the vehicle at all. It should be Dodges fault if it gets stolen. My Dodge van locks also broke and my friends Dodge has the same problem. This is clearly a mfg defect..

Door lock actuators on the Driver's door, front passenger door and rear door (behind driver) have all failed. This happened shortly after we moved from Florida to NC during the cold weather. I have not researched the cost to repair at this point since the problem just happened.

The actuator on my automatic doors went out. They get stuck in a position (usually begins to occur in cold weather). The dealer said they weren't familiar with the issue and said they needed to replace all the actuators. I've had this replaced twice now and it is happening again.

My door locks on my Dodge Durango are now making a grinding noise when i try to lock or unlock my vehicle. when i unlock it to get in now, i have to lean over and manually lift the passanger side door. When i lock it, all the doors lock except the drivers door which i have to manaully lock. its a royal pain in the ass, and i found out from a local dodge dealer here, that its very common for the year of my durango. I wish Dodge would recall and offer to pay for this, because its gonna cost me big bucks to get it fixed. Im afraid of being in a accident ( GOD FORBID ) and not being able to get out or anyone get in.

Power door locks on front passenger side failed. My husband and I were unable to open the door, even when we tried to manually pull the lock up to disengage it. Absolutely need to be replaced otherwise passengers had to ride in the back, not easy with 2 car seats, or climb over driver seat and storage center to gain access to passenger seat.

All of the electric door locks failed. I have not visually looked at the componants as of yet. My guess is there are plastic parts in the door lock system that did not perform as expected by the Manufacturer. Poor design.
This is one of two major problems with this vehical. The other being Engine sludge

My Durango is having severe door locking issues. The locking mechanisms are so badly designed that they have worn out all of the door locking actuators. I've replaced all the actuators once about a year and a half ago and now they are going out again. Not only are the door locking actuators going bad (because of the pressure from a really bad design on the door locking mechanisms themselves), but now I have both front door locks that have completely broken - they won't move up or down. I've had the driver's side door panel off (doing this myself because we live in the UK and everything over here is twice the dollar amount) about 20 times trying to fix the door locks. The locks are simply done! I have no choice but to pay to have new ones shipped here to the UK so that I can make the attempt to replace them myself. This is just insane!

Door locks went out within a year purchased. I can't believe a SUV costing this much can have this problem so soon. If I knew then what I know now this piece of crap wouldn't be in my driveway.
