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.
The doors lock automatically at 5 mph. Driver side door failed to do so and flew open while driving.

The door locks tend not to unlock, making it difficult for the consumer to get out of vehicle. Consumer notified the manufacturer. The passenger had to slide across to the drivers side to exit the vehicle. Attempts to open the door with the key and manual lock failed. Lock was replaced. Rear passenger had to slide across to the drivers side passenger door to exit the vehicle. The lock motor was replaced and a loud buzz noise came from the lock motor for a few days after installation. Lock does not lock automatically.
Intermittently consumer heard a loud buzzing noise coming from inside of the rear driver's side door. Consumer was unable to lock the door. Dealership was notified, but could not resolve the problem.
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.
Passenger door was repaired at no cost to the consumer, however it never worked correctly. The consumer decided not to get the recall work done, because the dealer informed him, the seat was broken underneath the seat and the part was not in stock and if the recall was done with the seat broken,the seat would stay in one position. The consumer was told the vehicle needed a tune, however the consumer disagreed that a tune- up was needed with such low mileage.
This is the message that I sent to Chrysler corporation on 4/8/2003. I am having a problem with the items below. The car is a 1999 Chrysler Concorde lxi. I purchased it used sept. 2002. I currently have 46201 miles on the car and by looking at the information on you website see that I am not the only individual to have these problems. My rear driver's side window is not working. It worked when I purchased the car, but now it doesn't even go down. I am having it replaced, but am not happy that a car only 3 years of age has such a problem. I have already done my research and have realized that I have purchased a car with numerous problems. Also, the front passenger door lock mechanism (actuator) also has to be replaced. It is currently making a very loud pitched noise when activating the locking feature. The unlock doesn't make the noise. I would appreciate a response about this information. I will also be contacting the NHTSA about these issues so they are aware of them. When at the dealer today, 4/8/2003, the service person said that the door lock mechanism has been a consistent problem. I really don't think that I will be purchasing or persuading an individual to purchase a Chrysler product. Sincerely, jason hopple.

After only three years, the lock actuator on the drivers side went bad so that it does not automatically lock when I start driving and I cannot lock it using the remote or the switch on the drivers door. I would not have thought anything was out of the ordinary until I spoke to 3 friends of mine that also own 2000 Chrysler products which they also have had to replace actuators in. This seems like an awful high rate of failure.
Driver and front passenger electric door locks inoperative. Drivers door lock failed last summer and now passengers door lock has failed. Both made a loud, grinding noise during actuation just prior to complete failure. Took to dealer who told me that this problem is prevalent with the Concorde.
A sensor within transmission malfunctioned, causing vehicle to completely shut down without warning. *akinput speed sensor was replaced, also the right rear door lock was inoperable, parts are on order.
Passenger door lock stopped working. Only able to open the door mannually inside by flicking the lock up or with my key outside by unlocking it.
For about a year the right rear passenger door has had a loud squealing sound when it attempts to auto lock either by using the remote, internal button, or the speed sensor. By reading the other complaints on this site, I see that my problem is exactly the same as the others have discribed. Additionally, the door cannot be unlocked unless you press the unlock button and then pull the lock up. This could be a very bad situation if someone were trapped inside after an accident.
Brakes continuously lock, which causes tires to lock and the car skids and pitches forward. Our door locks are broken and the bottom portion of the back seat is coming out from the floor. When we purchased the car, we asked the salesperson (tim white) if the car was in good condition and if this was a rental car. He said" it had one owner. " when I repeated this to the manager last week, he said it did. He stated that the owner was the rental company in florida. Then I pointed out to the manager that one owner did not mean one driver. With it being a rental car it has had many drivers some not so careful as others. If I had been inforrmed of the cars true history and condition, I would never have purchased this automobile. ( dot number: ).
Right rear door lock stuck causing the door not to open.

The front and back doors of the driver side had become inoperative. In order for the driver to get out of the vehicle, he/she would have to go through the passenger side door.
Consumer stated automatic locks were stripped and consumer was unable to unlock door from inside of vehicle.
The power door locks were making a loud "squealing" noise when activated. Then, the locks began failing one at a time until all 4 were replaced by dealer.
