Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Within 2 years of purchasing the vehicle, we began having problems with the passenger rear door latch mechanism. The device has a child safety lock (unsure if this is the problem). After jiggling the lock toggle in the vehicle and the child safety lock, the door would eventually unlock and allow you to open the door. This fix would remain temporary and occur often. Then the same trouble moved to the opposite rear door. After owning the vehicle now for 8 years, both doors would lock at some point in time, together, or separately and sometimes unlock after vigorous attempts to unlock the toggle. …”
