Consumer Description

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR STRIKERS (BOTH FRONT AND REAR) WERE NOT TORQUED PROPERLY. THE BOLTS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN HAND TIGHTENED ONLY, AND APPEAR TO BE SLOWLY BACKING OUT FURTHER. IF LEFT AS IS, I BELIEVE THE STRIKER WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE BODY, ALLOWING THE DOORS TO OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. THE ONLY SYMPTOMS OF THE ISSUE WERE: A SLIGHTLY LOUDER RELEASE/CLICK FROM THE DOOR WHEN OPENING (WHEN COMPARED TO DRIVERS SIDE DOORS THAT APPEAR TO BE TORQUED CORRECTLY), DOORS SEEMED TO BE HARDER TO LATCH WHEN CLOSING (HAD TO PULL A LITTLE HARDER THAN DRIVERS DOORS), AND OCCASIONAL COMPLAINTS OF ROAD NOISE FROM PASSENGERS.
