Electric door locks are bad, too. After a while, they won't lock or unlock.
- kube-system 9mo agoI've owned dozens of vehicles and I've only had locks or windows fail on one of them -- and both failed on this vehicle: It was a Ford with manual locks and windows. Turns out if you design something poorly enough even mechanical parts can fail. Point being: quality of construction matters more to reliability than anything else.
- WalterBright 9mo agoI tend to keep cars for decades. My Ford for 35 years. The manual windows and doors never failed. My dodge is 50 years old. Doors and windows still work. I've had three cars where the electric windows failed and two where the electric door locks failed.
