Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, I HEARD SOME WIND SO I CHECKED WINDOW BUTTON, I THEN HEARD DOOR ALARM GO OFF AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO EXIT HIGHWAY ON AN EXIT RAMP THE DOOR SWUNG OPEN!! MY PASSENGER HAD TO PHYSICALLY HOLD IT CLOSE AS BEST SHE COULD UNTIL WE FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO STOP TO SEE IF WE COULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. WE TRIED MANY TIMES TO CLOSE IT BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO LATCH. WE SCROUNGED AROUND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO TIE IT TOGETHER WITH TO GET IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BACK HOME! I'M GLAD MY GRANDCHILDREN WERE NOT WITH ME! *TR
