| Description of the problem | I was taking my grand daughter to school and she got in the front passenger side, she closed the door and it would not "latch" and we could not get it to latch to secure the door from opening while driving. This has happened numerous times. I was afraid the door would open while driving and fall out (this needs fixed asap. Another problem is when driving 60 mph or greater the steering will "catch" that is when going around a turn left or right when turning the steering wheel it kind of jerks and doesn't maintain constant turn it seems to loose a constant control. This can cause an over correction and loss of control. In order to try to control i have to have both hands on the steering wheel and know it going to happen. What would a young inexperienced driver do... Most likely over correct and crash. |
