Consumer Description

JUST GOT DONE PUTTING BAGS IN MY BACK SEAT THROUGH THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. I CLOSED THE DOOR AND THEN GOT IN MY CAR AND LEFT MY HOUSE. I TURNED LEFT OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR JUST FLEW OPEN. I GOT OUT TO INVESTIGATE AND MY DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT. I TRIED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE LATCH MOVED FREELY AT EVERY POSITRON. IT IS BROKEN INTERNALLY IN THE LATCH OR SOMETHING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS. WHAT IF THEY WERE IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND IF NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. *TR
