“The driver side interior door latch has disconnected four times in the past five years. As a driver, I am literally stuck in the car, and I have to exit thhrough passenger side of the vehicle. This repair(s) does not work, and the door latches are faulty in these cars. As a person that is driving in florida, with three kiddos, I can't be stuck in my car if for some reason the car goes into the water. The spring in the handle of the car does not work, and there should be a recall of the assembly of the door handle. …”
