What owners say
Rear door will not open. Window works but door handles inside and outside will not unlock door to open.
Back door latches sticking/very hard to open and at times won’t open at all. Visibility from wipers is very limited and not good. Rear exterior lights at times flicker and bulbs come loose at times
The front driver side door has no power. The rear passenger door will not open or unlock. The rear driver side door will not latch and stay shut. This all happened when I was getting my kids in the car and now I can't use the car because my kids could fall out. In the other vehicles it was the faulty latch. This happened to other vehicles of the same year and model. Number 05v494000.

My rear lift gate does not lock with or without the key fob nor with the power door lock button. There is no manual way to lock my doors it seems to be a poor design and a safety factor. My wife is afraid to drive because anyone can open the lift gate and rob her or even myself.
