| Description of the problem | While driving on freeway over a small crack, dashboard reported that rear driver side door became loose, had to pull over and re-close the door. I drive this route/lane everyday to work, it hasn' t happen for six months (that's when i bought my mountaineer). Don't know if this is a random event or due to some design problem. It can be scary, what if the door became wide open while driving! Remember the door is closed before it became loose. |
