| Description of the problem | The plastic housing on interior door latches is faulty. The driver side rear door is completely inoperable. It must be opened from the outside. The front two door latches are cracked and beginning to loosen. The rear door was noted as a safety concern by a coworker during a work-related trip. The employee understandably refuses to drive in the vehicle going forward. The problem is a safety concern and an embarrassment when conducting business junctures. I attempted to get the faulty door handle repaired on 4/20/11, but received documentation that the panel assembly is not covered under the platinum dealership warranty. The out-of-pocket expense for one handle is over $500 as the entire door panel must be replaced. The repair was not completed. *js |
