Consumer Description

THIS CAR SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE THE DOOR LATCH SEEMS TO FAIL WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. ITS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I TOOK A LEFT HAND TURN LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD AN THE PASSENGER DOORS FLEW OPEN. LUCKILY MY KIDS WERE NOT IN MY CAR,RATHER SOME GROWN MEN THAT COULD GRAB THE DOORS AND HOLD THEM CLOSED. THE DOORS WILL NOW NOT SHUT AND I HAVE TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY TO KEEP IT FROM DYING. THIS WAS MY FIRST NON GM VEHICLE AND WILL DEFINITELY BE MY LAST. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I DO NOT SEE HOW THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. I GUESS WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEBODY TO GET FATALLY INJURED... OR BETTER YET NUMEROUS PEOPLE BEFORE ANYTHING GETS DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR
