| 2005 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH | THE DOORS BOTH VOLUNTARILY & INVOLUNTARILY OPEN/CLOSE. THEY MAY OPEN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THEY WILL ALSO OPEN WHEN NOT PROMPTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WHEN EVERYONE IS ASLEEP. THEY ALSO WILL NOT CLOSE ON SOME OCCASIONS. THEY START TO CLOSE, THEN GIVE A WARNING BELL & RE-OPEN. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE A 24 YR. OLD SON WITH CEREBRAL PALSY. I CANNOT, IN GOOD CONCIENCE, PUT HIM IN THIS VEHICLE..DUE TO THE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. WOULD YOU PUT YOUR CHILD IN THIS VEHICLE & WONDER WHETHER THE DOORS WOULD DECIDE TO COME OPEN WHILE GOING 75 DOWN THE INTERSTATE? |
