  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,000 miles
The dealer had serviced the vehicle several times regarding the driver's side door. The door failed to latch properly and could open when driving. Dealer diagnosed the hinges were too weak, which resulted in them coming out of adjustment and caused the door not to lock properly.

The driver side door sheet metal where the hinges are bolted to are warping outward. This results in the door being loose, and can fall off at anytime.
