I'd unlocked my door and when I tried to close it, it wouldn't close like it should. It's like the actuator was stuck & wouldn't close. It does this for a few minutes of me cranking and turning off the ignition. Finally, after I crank it up again, it just closes like nothing ever happened! I was stuck in a pharmacy parking lot for like 15 minutes thinking of how I was going to get home because my door didn't close! very, very inconvenient! I almost had to call a tow truck & would've been out of a couple hundred of dollars for this!!! why does this happen!!!?! this needs to be addressed and fixed!
