1998 Dodge Ram 1500 latches & locks problems

98 dodge hi top conversion van; the electric door locks' release mechanism has broken for the fourth time. This time the middle side passenger door lock broke. When the door locks' brake, they are jammed locked, and we can not open the door at all. We contacted the dodge dealer and they said that if they unjam the door, the door would then stay open! We have to wait till next week to get it fixed because they have to order the part. This will end up costing us over $200/00 - again.

Tl* the contact owns a 1998 dodge ram 1500. The contact was driving approximately 55 MPH when the hood latch became disengaged, causing the hood lid to release and strike the windshield. The contact maneuvered to the side of the road to close the hood lid. The failure recurred three times and the hood would not remain latched securely. The defect resulted in the hood hinge becoming bent and the windshield exhibited numerous cracks. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the windshield.
