Consumer Description

THE DOOR LATCH ON THE DRIVERS DOOR WON'T OPEN AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE. IF SOMETHING HAPPENED AND I HAD TO GET OUT, I WOULD BE IN TROUBLE. A FRIEND RECENTLY TAUGHT ME HOW TO OPEN THE DOOR BY PUSHING THE LATCH BACKWARDS. IT HAS TO BE DONE BY REACHING ACROSS MY BODY WITH MY RIGHT HAND AND PUSHING THE LOCK BACKWARDS (EX: LIKE YOU'RE PINCHING SOMETHING). THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE CONCERNING THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM??? THE ONLY BENEFIT FOR THIS IS IF SOMEONE STEALS MY VEHICLE AND CAN'T GET OUT, RESULTING IN BEING CAUGHT. *TR
