Consumer Description

DOORS DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK WHEN ALARMING OR UNALARMING TRUCK. IT OCCURS DAILY AND NOT SURE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. I HAPPENED TO GET OUT OF MY TRUCK AND OPEN THE BACK DOOR WHICH WOULD NOT OPEN. WITH FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I REALIZED THAT THE LOCK WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE NO IDEA THAT THIS IS HAPPENING? I HAVE ALARMED MY VEHICLE, THEN CHECKED THE BACK DOOR TO SEE IF IT LOCKED WITH THE ALARM GOING OFF, BECAUSE THE LOCK HAD FAILED! I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY CHECK TO SEE IF THEIR TRUCK LOCKED AND ALARMED PROPERLY. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'LL COST $100 FOR THEM TO JUST LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT IS PAST THE 3 YR. WARRANTY. I THINK THIS IS UNFAIR. *TR
