Consumer Description

THE FALCON WING DOORS OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CLOSE. AFTER TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE VEHICLE, ALL THE DOORS OF THE CAR WOULD LOCK AND THE CAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN EITHER FROM THE REMOTE OR THE DOOR HANDLE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO KIDS OR PETS IN THE CAR AND THE CAR WAS ALMOST NEAR THE DRIVEWAY OF THE HOME. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE CAR WAS PUT IN THE PARKED MODE IN A CITY STREET AFTER A SHORT 10-MILE TRIP.
