| Power locks do not stay in adjustment. i have had numerous problems with the rear driver side door and rear tailgate latches. they have both been adjusted by the dealer several times and almost immediately exhibit the problems again intermittently. the tailgate latch releases the rear window while driving usually when hitting a bump but sometimes out of the blue. the problem seems to happen when the latch is opened last using the key on the tailgate. when the latch is opened electronically i do not have the problem. the rear driver side door either does not unlock or does not lock ( about 30-50% of the time ) even after being readjusted by the dealer. the hood latch is a loose fit and allows the hood to vibrate and bounce while driving at freeway speeds.*ak | |||
