What owners wrote
Rear window on right hand side on the roof next to the back window, has a crack which is causing a leakage. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.
My car door doesn't always latch immediately when I close the door. Sometimes I have to drive 5 miles holding the car door closed with one hand before the door will latch. This happens during the winter months. The car has to warm up before the door will latch. I have tried lubricating the door latch and that doesn't work. There haven't been any technical service bulletins written about this issue. The car door latch works great during spring, fall and summer.
