Door locks fail to lock. Front driver door will lock but all other doors do not lock. Alarm will sound off if door is opened but will only work for 1 minute then shut off. This has resulted in an auto burglary at my sons work place parking lot. It also poses a danger to children in back seat if door is opened while car is in motion. Safety is at issue when people in the vehicle need to prevent being car jacked or robbed as well. We have researched this issue and have found that there are thousands of complaints on this same issue. What is it going to take to have a recall issued on this vehicle to force the manufacturer to repair these vehicles?.
The airbag light came on one day while driving. Pulled over and shut car off then restarted and light stayed on. Looked light up in manual and it states there is a problem with the airbag system and they may not deploy in an accident. This concerns me as a major safety issue. Secondly my passenger side door lock fails to lock or unlock intermittently. As a result I have to leave my car unlocked at times since there is no way to lock the door manually. Also is a safety concern if the door won't unlock in a crash situation.
