Consumer Description

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS BEEN HAVING THE ISSUE WHERE IT FIRST WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THEN AFTER A FEW WEEKS IT STARTED TO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. EVENTUALLY IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE IT WILL NOT EVEN LATCH SO IT'S VERY MUCH A SAFETY HAZARD. NOTHING HAS CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN TO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN REFERENCE TO THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK AND ONLY HAS 50K MILES ON IT.
