LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
RANDOM DOOR LOCK FAILURE LEADING TO PERMANENT FAILURE OVER SEVERAL MONTHS. OWNER IS UNAWARE OF PROBLEM UNTIL SEVERAL WEEKS OR MONTHS AS PROBLEM PROGRESSES TO COMPLETE FAILURE. DOOR LOCKS WILL SOMETIMES LOCK AND SOMETIMES UNLOCK, BUT TOTALLY UNAWARE TO THE OWNER UNTIL THE PROBLEM FINISHES WITH COMPLETE FAILURE. OFTEN TIMES VEHICLE IS LEFT UNLOCKED WHEN OWNER ASSUMES IT IS. THE PROBLEM CREATES OPPORTUNITY FOR CRIME AS WELL AS MANY OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS. THE OTHER MAJOR CONCERN IS THE INTEGRITY OF THE DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM DURING A CRASH ..... WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR DOORS MAY NOT BE LOCKED. I HAVE GRAVE CONCERNS FOR CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS OF VEHICLES THAT SHOULD BE LOCKED BUT AREN'T. BECAUSE OF FLAWS IN COMPONENT INTEGRITY. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO 3 (INCLUDING MYSELF) OUT OF 5 TRUCKS OWNED BY FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS. THE INTERNET IS FLOODED WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS REGARDING THIS MATTER. THANKS FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION. *TR
