Consumer Description

AS A PASSENGER, I OFTEN FIND THE BIG HEAVY DOOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE OPEN POSITION WHILE I AM TRYING TO EXIT FROM THE CAR. THERE ARE SEVERAL "LOCKING" POSITIONS, BUT NONE OF THEM HOLD FIRMLY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IF THE CAR IS ON EVEN A SLIGHT INCLINE. I FIND MYSELF KICKING THE DOOR OUT OF THE WAY SO I CAN SAFELY EXIT. THE CAR IS LEASED, AND I WOULD CONSIDER NOT BUYING IT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. NO CRASH, NO INJURY, NO DAMAGE TO OUR CAR OR OTHER CARS. THIS IS AN ANNOYING DESIGN FLAW. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE WE GOT THE CAR. *TR
