Owner Complaints (5)
REAR DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE- STICKY LATCH. (I DO NOT HAVE THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS ). *NLM
BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK WITHIN THE LATCH ASSM OF BOTH REAR DOORS THE OCCUPANT IS UNABLE TO BE OPEN EITHER DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR*AK.
WHEN GETTING IN OR OUT OF VEHICLE & CLOSING THE DOOR, THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD BE MAKING A CLICKING SOUNDS AS IF LOCKING. THE DOORS ARE NOT LOCKED. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE DOOR IS LOCKED. THE SOLENOID WOULD MAKE THAT CLICKING NOISE. CONTACTED DEALER & WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED NOR WAS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. *AK
UNABLE TO OPEN REAR DOOR BECAUSE THE LINKAGE FAILED. YH
CAR LOCKS & UNLOCKS ITSELF, VERY ANNOYING
