Description of the problem | While a passenger was attempting to exit from the driver side rear of the vehicle, the latch was non-operational and they were unable to exit using the internal latch. Child safety mechanism was not engaged. The exterior latch also didn't function. The locking mechanism is in the unlocked position. This made exiting from or retrieving a child almost impossible during any emergency situation. The door latch needed to be replaced. After checking owners' forums, it seems that this is a common dangerous failure for this type of vehicle. |
