Consumer Description

REAR PASSENGER-SIDE DOORS DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. WILL NOT OPEN WITH "KEY FOB", BUT SOMETIMES WILL MANUALLY. IF OPEN, MAY OR MAY NOT CLOSE WITH FOB, AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CLOSE MANUALLY. ALSO, WILL OPEN THEMSELVES EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LOCKED. IN THIS PARTICULAR EXPERIENCE, VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT HOME. DOORS HAD BEEN LOCKED AND CHECKED BY VISUAL INSPECTION DUE TO HAVING THIS HAPPEN PREVIOUSLY MANY TIMES. CONCERN IS THAT DOORS COULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING, EXPOSING PASSENGERS TO POSSIBLE DANGER.
