Description of the problem | In cold weather sometimes the front drivers and passenger doors will not open, i have to go through a rear door and open it from the inside, then most of the time it will work fine after that, though a few times the door would not stay latched. The first time i took it to the dealer they said they heard of this and did nothing, i just recently brought it back and they installed a updated latch. There should be a recall issued for this problem. |
