1.)every winter the locking mechanism on the drivers side door will freeze. So, once you open your door & you go to shut it, it will not latch shut, instead it will just bounce back open. After spending about 1/2 hour each time of manually moving the latch up & down it finally engages. 2.) power window buttons do not work on any window except drivers side. When I have it repaired, & if I put the window locks on, after that none will work again. I'm tired of fixing an ongoing problem! 3.) driver side power door lock is intermittent in working. It must be pressed approximately 5-6 times usually before it will engage.
