Consumer Description

DOOR LATCH SENSORS ARE FAULTY. WE REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER LATCH SENSOR IN APRIL 2017 AND NOW NEED TO REPLACE THE BACK PASSENGER LATCH. BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL/SECURITY SYSTEM TELLS THE CAR THE DOOR IS AJAR, IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE POWER LOCKS TO FUNCTION WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. IT ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY BY NOT TURNING THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT OFF AS WELL AS SETTING OFF THE CAR ALARM UNPREDICTABLY. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ALSO COME ON WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING, WHICH IS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER.
