The side door pops open to the 2nd latch at varying speeds even if the doors are locked. It has popped open at 5mph and at 70 mph. A bump or jiggle is all it takes to open. The indicator light comes on and you can hear excess road noise. It has only once opened past the second catch in the lock. That was at highway speeds. It makes no difference whether the door is locked or unlocked. Appears to be affected by road surfaces.

While driving the vehicle, the passenger slider opens and the door is ajar. This happened repeatedly over several months. It cost me over $200 to replace the front and rear latches on the vehicle. I felt that this was a safety issue and I shouldn't have to pay for the defective parts or labor.
