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.*AK
