2 Anti-theft Controller problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2011

2007 wolfsburg edition Jetta: experiencing issues latches/locks/linkages/ first with one door lock (rear left) around Sep 2011. Then 2nd door (rear rear) warranty aready passed, the dealer told me that the locks can go bad and need to be replaced, costing $250/$200 each plus labor $100 hr. /3 hrs or $300!! for grand ttl almost $800! replacement. Now I already having problem with driver door!! this seems excessive specially vw should address this quality issue with their supplier now and have them fixed at no cost. This is a safety issue drive for work around some not nice neighborhoods, car can't be lock. I have 2 kids and afraid door can open so easly. I hope something is done before we hear really bad news. This is a serious issue as the locks serve as the first line of defense in anti-theft. I searching online and see others with similar issues, I decided to report, I still have issues with lock. Hope people reads and report the issue. I have bought 2 other vw is past and never had this problem. I don't think will buy a fourth vw.
