STRUCTURE:BODY
THE REAR LEFT DOOR LATCH BROKE. I SIMPLY OPENED AND CLOSED THE DOOR. THE LATCH MUST'VE BROKEN WHEN I CLOSED IT BECAUSE THE DOOR CAME LOOSE ON MY DRIVE HOME. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DOOR COULD'VE HIT AN ONCOMING CAR SINCE I COULDN'T IMMEDIATELY REACH/SECURE THE DOOR. THE DOOR WILL CLOSE FLUSH WITH THE CAR, BUT JUST WON'T LATCH. NEITHER HANDLE SEEMS TO HAVE ANY INFLUENCE ON THE CAR LATCH EITHER. THIS ISSUE SOUNDS LIKE THE 15S16 SAFETY RECALL, BUT IS REPORTEDLY NOT APPLICABLE TO MY CAR. I AM PAYING TO GET THE ONE DOOR FIXED, BUT AM WORRIED ABOUT THE OTHER DOORS DOING THE SAME THING.

RECEIVED A COSTUMER SERVICE LETTER (15B22/19N07) STATING ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION TCM AND TO BRING CAR INTO DEALER FOR EVALUATION/FIX. ONCE CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD WE NEEDED TO PAY $200 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST OF THE CAR TO SEE IF IT IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE SUCH AS SKIPPING GEARS, LOSS OF POWER AND THE CAR EVEN STALLING OUT. IF THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE DUE TO DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION I FEEL I AS A CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A DIME TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM. I AM AWARE OF A LARGE NEWS STORY THAT INVOLVED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES RESULTING IN SEVERAL DEATHS DUE TO ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM.
