Late last year both front and rear passenger doors began exhibition signs of failure.

: the contact stated the rear passenger door is locked and cannot be unlocked. The dealership determined the motor needed to be replaced. Also, the brake pads must be replaced every 6-8 months, because the brakes do not properly stop the vehicle, there is a loud noise, and the brakes can be felt grinding when applied. There have been no other attempted repairs to the brakes.
