What owners wrote
Upon reaching into truck, and not realizing that the trunk lid had opened fully, I rammed my head into the trunk lock, causing a mild concussion. This caused me to be off work for 4 days. I am glad that the lock had a plastic cover or I would have surely split my head open. Thank you .
Driver side lock did not work with keyless entry. Had to use key to unlock door. Took back to dealer and paid to get actuator fixed. Now the passenger side door lock does not open and I have to reach over to unlock. Cannot open from the outside.
