THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR IS CRACKED AT THE FRAME AND THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE SECURELY. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT THE BODY SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE A DEFECT.

AND IF IT IS IN FACT A DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP. I AM A SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLD WITH ONE VEHICLE AND IT IS DANGEROUS FOR MY CHILDREN TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT IN CASE THE DOOR SHALL FLY OPEN.
