power door closer are great is you have a child/baby sleeping in the car and you don't want to wake them when you get in and out of your car. if you pull your door in, w/o slaming it, it will close itself, copy of MB S-classes...

auto door closers seem to also be second in line to fail with expensive repair.

I've only seen one thread on CL about a member with issues with their auto door closers. Just curious... what's your basis for this comment (links?)?

Second, really? I too would like to know the basis for this opinion. Also, what is first in line to fail? TIA.

do a seach. I've seen several about how the cost of repair is 1k per door.

First failure would obviously be the air suspension. I shouldn't even have had to say that one it's so obvious.
