I've taken care of all those problems and plan on running the 'Lude into the ground. I haven't had many complaints about it overall. Love the car. As for the door locks, mine have been cycling for about 6 months, and it's waaaay out of warranty (I'm at 86k miles). No effect on the battery, realy. It's a low current system to begin with (not like the old power door lock solenoids on a 75 Cadillac that you could pull your house down with). I think eventually I'll get sick of it and just replace the friggin thing, but I have other more important issues..... like buying a house.
