Consumer Description

WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WAS JUST THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR THAT WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, YOU COULD HOWEVER STILL OPEN IT IF YOU PUSHED ON A CERTAIN PART OF THE DOOR AND TRIED TO OPEN AT THE SAME TIME. NOW THAT DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL FROM THE OUT SIDE AT ALL, AND THE OTHER DOORS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LATCH NOW, YOU HAVE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK ABOUT 10 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL LATCH. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE RECALLS ON THIS CAR BEFORE AND NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME I DON'T LIVE IN THE STATES THAT ARE AFFECTED IN THE RECALL. IF I WAS TO GET THIS REPLACED ON MY OWN IT WILL COST ME ABOUT 2000.00. *TR
