My passenger door randomly does not open anymore from inside or out. It worked completely fine before a passenger got in, and when they tried to get out the handle was "loose" and neither handles will open the door. This is a safety hazard and it's scary that this could potentially happen to both doors. My passenger door currently doesn't open so if there was an accident they wouldn't even be able to get out.

The driver side door latch does not want to open the door from the outside. It feels like there is nothing connecting to open it. This has happened several times and I have had to crawl over passenger side to open it from the inside. I understand there are lots of people having this same issue with this vehicle, something needs to be done.

When I unlock the driver door with the fob, the door would not open. I was driving one day and the relay electrical wiring started burning. When I took it back to the car dealer they told me there was nothing wrong. Myself and four other people smelled the burning. I gave the car back and nothing was done to satisfy the situation. I was told by an auto zone mechanic to park the car before it catches on fire.
