Consumer Description

THE DRIVER'S DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE; I HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND FLIP THE OUTSIDE LATCH. I WAS THINKING THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT HAPPENED IN AN EMERGENCY THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE "LEFT FRONT DOOR INSIDE HANDLE". THEY SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
