| Description of the problem | Driver door latch weakens over time and fails to fully seal. Door will not fully stay fully closed. 'door open' chime and lights will go off while driving when gravity and inertia affect the door. Door does not swing open while driving but is nonetheless a safety issue. This part should be considered a lifetime part able to handle much more stress than the typical life of a car. |
