Consumer Description

4-DOOR VEHICLE TYPICALLY DRIVE TO WORK AND HOME BETWEEN 2002-2007. NO ONE TYPICALLY EVER SAT IN THE BACK, HOWEVER, IF ANY ONE DID SIT IN THE BACK THE COMPLAINED THE DOORS WERE DIFFICULT TO OPEN. MY THOUGHTS WERE USER ERROR AND THOSE DOORS ARE RARELY USED. AFTER MY SON WAS BORN IN SEPTEMBER 2007 I NOTICED THE DOORS WERE DIFFICULT TO OPEN, AT ONE POINT I THOUGHT I WOULD BREAK THE DOOR HANDLE. MY MOM, MY SON, WHO IS NOW 5, HAVE AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIME OPENING THE DOORS AND MY GRANDMOTHER IS NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS USING THE DOOR HANDLES. *TR
