Consumer Description

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND COULD NOT CLOSE THE DOOR AS WELL AS DOOR AJAR SIGNAL BEEPING. I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WITH ONE ARM AND DRIVE WITH THE OTHER, VERY UNSAFE AND SCARY. I NORMALLY DRIVE A HIGHWAY TO AND FROM WORK, BUT I HAPPENED TO BE IN MY TOWN WHEN IT OCCURRED AND STILL DRIVING 35-45 KEPT OPENING MY DOOR AND OBVIOUSLY ANY LEFT TURN, WHICH I MADE 3 OF, CAUSED THE DOOR TO OPEN.
