When starting up the vehicle in the morning or anytime when the weather is cold the defroster doesn't defrost the side windows. Contacted the dealer was told that a part had to be added to the defroster. This will take two or three weeks before receiving the part. The door lock mechanism will not catch when closing the door on the driver and passenger side in cold weather, and once it is closed, then it will not unlock or open the door.
