Consumer Description

NOT ABLE TO TOTALLY LOCK ALL DOORS. SYSTEM IS ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED. VERY NOISY WHEN AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED AT 15 MPH. NECESSARY TO DEACTIVATE, THUS HAVING TO MANUALLY LOCK DOORS. BECAUSE THIS WAS A STANDARD OPTION, IT SHOULD WORK FOR REASONABLE LENGTH OF TIME. WHEN ORDERING REPLACEMENT PART, WAS INFORMED OF A TWO WEEK WAIT BECAUSE OF LOCAL BACK ORDER ON LIKE PART, INDICATING MANY OTHER OWNERS WERE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. THIS WAS SECOND FAILURE. FIRST TIME WAS ON DRIVER FRONT DOOR, SECOND TIME WAS ON PASSENGER FRONT DOOR. CAN THE BACK DOORS BE FAR BEHIND? DT
