The door locks installed allow the driver to hit a switch on driver's door to lock passengers, or to push in the lock, which will lock both driver and passenger's door. Upon entering the vehicle I have pushed both the switch and lock, neither of which would lock the passenger's side. I repeat this up to 10 times before the passenger side will lock. Not too safe!! 2nd complaint---stereo will be on and the driver's side speakers will shut off for a few seconds and you will only hear passenger's side. Then they will come back on. This happened every 10-15 minutes for about 3 monthes but has not happened in a while.
