Consumer Description

COULD NOT OPEN DRIVERS' SIDE DOOR. NOTHING...NO-HOW. IN ADDITION THE RADIO WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER KEY WAS REMOVED. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY FOUND A DEFECTIVE MODULE LOCATED INSIDE THE DRIVERS' SIDE DOOR THAT CONTROLLED ALL THIS. NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR....HAVING TO DEPEND ON AN ELECTRONIC GIZMO....IS ABSOLUTELY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THERE SHOULD BE....A SIMPLE MECHANICAL OVER-RIDE...OR BETTER YET, WHY IS OPENING (AND CLOSING?) A DOOR ELECTRONIC AT ALL? IT WAS DEFINITELY FUN TO CONTORT MY 6'1" 250 POUND BODY OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. $441,PLEASE......... *TR
