Consumer Description

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH SWITCH SAYS IT IS NOT LATCHED, BUT IT IS. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING. HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS ON. DANGEROUS. DOORS DO NOT LOCK PROPERLY BECAUSE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS AJAR. I UNDERSTAND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS EXACT ISSUE.
