The electrical door lock for the back tailgate , does not automatically lock when vehicle is put into drive. The dealer is aware of the problem. The problem has not been corrected.
Reoccurring/ ongoing problem with automatic lock locking all doors without system being on. Door should only lock when shifted into drive, but there are times it locks itself without cause. Can NHTSA help in this matter.
