| Description of the problem | On several occasions it sounds as though something 'metal' is sliding around inside the panel of the front passenger door. I have taken it to the dealer 3 or 4 times and they cannot verify it. When i went out with a tech, once, although it had made the sound as i turned out of my driveway, it wouldn't duplicate with the technician. They wouldn't take off the panel to investigate. Given the problem with airbags this makes me very nervous and i hope that i am never in a crash. |
