Consumer Description

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON DESPITE THE FACT ALL THE DOORS ARE CLOSED; THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING AND MANUAL LOCKING WILL NOT WORK. AFTER 10 TO 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, IT WILL GO OUT AND THE DOORS WILL FINALLY LOCK. TODAY, WHILE THAT LIGHT WAS ON AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AND MAKING A TURN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY GRANDCHILDREN RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS TOTALLY UNSAFE! *NM
