Consumer Description

IN THIS CASE I LEFT MY LIGHTS ON CAUSING THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR IS WHEN THERE IS NO POWER IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE REAR SLIDING DOORS OR TAILGATE. ONLY THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPENS WITH A KEY AND YOU CANNOT OPEN THE REAR DOORS FROM THE INSIDE WITHOUT POWER. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THAT DISABLES THE POWER SYSTEM THESE DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED AND PASSENGERS (ESPECIALLY CHILDREN WHO ARE IN SAFETY SEATS) CAN BE TRAPPED. THERE ARE 3 ROWS OF 2 BUCKET SEATS PER ROW. I FEEL THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AND WOULD SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND IT NOT BE PURCHASED. *TR
