Description of the problem | The door frame on the drivers side of this vehicle has cracks extending out in all directions from the drill hole for the striker. This presents a serious safety hazard to the owners of these vehicles. Should the vehicle(for instance)be hit broadside on the drivers rear quarter (just behind the door) the door lock striker will more than likely tear out, & the driver could be ejected, or rear passengers injured by the entire collapse of the rear quarter panel & uni-body structure. There are still a great number of vehicles like this on the road. Please investigate this problem with emily's vehicle & others like it. I will be doing the same. Sincerely, her auto technican friend. *ak |
