Consumer Description

THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER LOCK AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHILE DRIVING. THEY HAVE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, THEY CAN NOW OPEN THE DOORS WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING IF AN ADULT FORGETS TO LOCK THEM. THE LIFT GATE IN THE BACK NO LONGER CHIMES WHEN OPENING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE CAN GET WHACKED WITH THE DOOR, NOT KNOWING THAT IT IS ABOUT TO OPEN. THE PARKING LIGHTS STAY ON OR COME ON SPONTANEOUSLY AFTER THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS IS A PROBLEM. VERY EASY FOR THE OWNER TO COME OUT IN THE MORNING TO A DEAD BATTERY AND A CAR THAT WON'T START. SOME OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE HEADLIGHTS CUTTING OUT WHILE DRIVING, A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
