Consumer Description

WHILE TAKING THE BABY TO VISIT THE GRAND PARENTS, WE ARRIVED THERE AND TAKING THE BABY OUT OF THE CAR THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR POPPED OPEN AND WOULD NOT LATCH. WE HAD TO TIE THE DOOR CLOSED. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION, RELY ON ROPES AND BUNGEE CORDS TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED. IT OFFERS NO PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THIS CONDITION SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE CAR OWNERS NOW, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR DOORS ON THE VEHICLE TO POP OPEN TO FIND OUT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.
