Latches/locks/linkage problem #1

The hood latch begin to not close properly. The hood flew up while driving on the freeway smashing the windshield and costing over $2000 to repair even without the occurrence of a collision. The latch had to be replaced. It could have been a very bad accident if there had been more people on the road as the hood eliminated visibility.

Door Latch problem #2

The rear passenger door locks would stick. The consumer would be unable to open the rear door locks manually or with the remote control. The dealership mechanic repaired the problem three times, but the consumer is still having the same problem. Repaired with part#4l37-13713-aa. Please provide more information.
