Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH ALL 4 DOORS THAT BECOME SUDDENLY BROKEN. I HAVE HAD BOTH REAR DOOR LOCKS REPLACED, AND BOTH FRONT DOOR LOCKS REPLACED. NOW THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ONCE AGAIN ON BOTH FRONT DOORS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL. NOT ONLY IS THIS COSTLY BUT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY MECHANIC HAS NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT SEEMS TO STEM FROM A SMALL PLASTIC COMPONET IN THE LOCK PANEL. THE PARTS COST $3.00 THE LABOR IS ANOTHER STORY. AFTER READING OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE I'M APPALLED THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS. *JB
