Had to replace door lock/latch assembly in May 2011.

Then the replaced door lock/latch assembly then failed on September 21, 2011
Re-order warranty lock latch assembly and replaced.

5 days later the 3rd door lock/latch assembly failed.

Is there a problem with the part #8182634 being inferior or is something else causing the problem and possibly burning up the latch coils inside the latch assembly?

The door lock assemblies on these models are notorious for failing, but not as much as you have had.

You may have a wiring issue but the only way to really tell is to replace the wiring between the door lock assembly and the control unit and see if that fixes things.
