My 36 year old car is pretty reliable, but the parts that have given me the most constant trouble are my very basic crank windows and standard locks. They have all been repaired or replaced two or three times. I've always been wary of power windows and locks as well, but when I think about it, they really can't be all that much worse than what I've already put up with.
