Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have had two problems with the door latches. The first problem was with the drivers side door. The plastic coating wore off the latch and caused it to stick in the open position, therefore not allowing the door to close. Occasionally the door would close and then get stuck in the closed position. I finally had to have the latch replaced and I have had no problems with that latch since. Now, 8 months later, the side sliding door has the same exact problem. The door will appear to be fully closed and then fly open while driving. Other times it will not open. …”
