Consumer Description

DOOR SENSOR ON FRONT PASSENGER DOOR STAYS ON CAUSING DOME TO STAY ON. RUNS BATTERY DEAD KEEPS PANEL LIGHTS ON. ALREADY REPLACED BACK PASSENGER DOOR UNDER WARRANTY LAST YEAR. AT 60000 MILES WARRANTY IS OUT AND COST IS $500 TO FIX. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.. I CANNOT LET ANYONE SIT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SHUT DOOR FOR DOOR SENSOR TO GO OFF AND NOT COME OUT TO A DEAD BATTERY. NOW THE DOOR OPEN LIGHT COMES ON WITHOUT THE DOOR BEING OPENED AND WON'T GO OFF. THIS CAUSES DO.E LIGHTS TO STAY ON RESULTING IN DRAINING THE BATTERY..THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A BIG ISSUE NOW. AS I HAVE READ THERE IS A LAWSUIT..
