What owners wrote
Not able to totally lock all doors. System is electrically controlled. Very noisy when automatically activated at 15 MPH. Necessary to deactivate, thus having to manually lock doors. Because this was a standard option, it should work for reasonable length of time. When ordering replacement part, was informed of a two week wait because of local back order on like part, indicating many other owners were having same problem. This was second failure.
The inside drivers door latch broke where the latch mechanism connecting the rod attaches. I can only open the door from the outside. The handle assembly is molded I can't open the door quickly in the event of an emergency. The repair has not been completed, the door panel is on backorder.
