NHTSA complaint #10464129, filed 2012-07, 129,000 miles

“The driver's door window and door lock has been working intermittently over the last 1 1/2 yrs. This last march, the window stopped working . Then the door lock followed and then the entire door. I have no control over any aspect of the car with that door. I makes a buzz-zapping sound. I cannot lock the windows at all in the back, so now my young children play with the windows and hang out them. The doors are supposed to lock when the truck is put into gear, but that does not always happen. Sometimes it will happen 10 minutes into a trip , sometimes not at all. …”
