STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CRACK IN DOOR OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE NEW BODY STYLE CHANGED IN 1997 AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN CORRECTED. IT SEEMS TO ME THERE IS A WEAKNESS IN THE SHEET METAL IN THE DOORS AND IT HAS ME CONCERNED SHOULD I BE IN AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING A SIDE IMPACT. WE ALL KNOW HOW A TIRE CAN KILL SOMEONE SO LETS NOT WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS HURT BEFORE WE REALIZE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE. THANK YOU , WILLIAM E. CARLISLE. *AK
