Consumer Description

MY RIGHT REAR DOOR THAT IS HARDLY EVER USED WILL NOT CLOSE DUE TO THE LATCH. I WAS 200 MILES FROM HOME AND IT WAS LABOR DAY WEEKEND SO COULDN'T GET TO DEALERSHIP. HAD TO BUY A BUNGEE CORD TO SECURE THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE AND IT STILL OPENED SLIGHTLY GOING AROUND CURVES AND BACKSEAT ITEMS ALMOST FELL OUT. MY VEHICLE IS A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OLD BUT DUE TO MY JOB OF DRIVING FREQUENTLY (DRIVING CHILDREN) I AM WELL PAST THE 36K WARRANTY AND WILL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THIS. SINCE I CAN'T AFFORD AT THE MOMENT THE BATTERY NEEDS TO BE DISCONNECTED SINCE THE LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED. THIS CLEARLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS. *TR
