Consumer Description

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR STUCK AND COULD NOT BE OPENED AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED AT A COST OF $350. BOTH BACK DOORS ARE STUCK CLOSED AND CAN NOT BE OPENED. NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS STUCK CLOSED AND CAN NOT BE OPENED. MY SON BROKE HIS ARM AND INJURED HIS LEG AND HAD TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. WE HAD TO GET HIM OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE WINDOW! AS THE DOOR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT OPEN. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE REPAIR BILL IS ESTIMATED AT ANOTHER $350.00. IN ADDITION, MY REAR HATCH DOOR REFUSED TO OPEN THE OTHER DAY WHILE I WAS HAVING THE SHOCKS REPAIRED. THE MECHANICS FINALLY GOT IT OPEN. I FEAR THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN AND EMERGENCY PERSONNEL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET IN TO THE CAR AND WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. *NM
