Has anyone here ever had a auto with power doors and windows that made it over 200,000 miles without giving you trouble?
I hate the things, but it's getting hard to find autos that don't have them.

I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I'd prefer not to have them, but my Xterra has 198k on it with no issues.

2002 Chebby work truck has 266,000 and no problems with the controls. But this truck is unusual for a work rig, still runs and stops great. Don't see that very often..

More important for me is the kid locks to keep working on the windows and doors. I don't like it when the hitch hikers get away..

Along with the doors and windows, I would add seat belts that don't retract like they are supposed to.

Every GM product that I ever owned with them had problems before 100K miles. The Toyota Tundra that I am driving now is heading toward 250K and no issues.

American Jack hole car engineers trade cheap (which they aren't ) for durability.

Failure of such components is not related to mileage, rather they fail as a function of age (years in service) and number of cycles.
If you don't want to wear out a power door lock, then manually lock the car. It will last a LONG time.
Ever notice that the drivers side window is always the first to fail. There's a reason for that!
