POWER LOCKS HAVE TO BE RESET BY DISCONNECTING AND RECONNECTING THE BATTERY EVERY FEW DAYS. SINCE THIS APPARENTLY IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A MANUFACTURER RECALL TO FIX THIS DEFECT? *TR

THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS STOPPED WORKING, I WAS ABLE TO RESET THEM BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY BUT THE FIX IS ONLY TEMPORARY. NOW ONLY 1 DOOR IS AFFECTED BUT ON OCCASION THE PROBLEM STARTS OVER AGAIN UNTIL I RESET THE LOCKS BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE PARKING LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, BUT NOT THE HEADLAMPS. TURNING THE SWITCH/DIAL TURNED THEM OFF, AND TURNED ON PARKING LIGHTS, BUT NOTHING ELSE. THE SWITCH WOULD TURN ALL THE WAY, BUT NOTHING. THEN THE PARKING LIGHTS WOULDN'T GO OFF AT ALL. THEN I GOT THE HEADLIGHTS TO COME ON AFTER MESSING WITH THE SWITCH FOR A WHILE. THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON THE NEXT DAY. IT SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM... THERE ARE A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLINE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

THE POWER LOCKS ON THIS VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE ONLY FIX IS TO HAVE THE COMPUTER REFLASHED AT A DEALER AT A COST OF AROUND $400. I HAVE LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF MY VEHICLE A FEW TIMES BECAUSE THE DOOR LOCKS WILL JUST INTERMITTENLY LOCK FOR NO REASON OR IF YOU PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN, THE DOORS WILL LOCK. IT IS A MESS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE TO FIX IT. *TR

THE POWER LOCKS STOPED WORKING. THEY WILL NOT LUCK/UNLUCK WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR SWITCH NOR WITH THE REMOTE ON THE KEY. THE TAIL GATE LOCK WILL LUCK/UNLOCK WITH THE KEY REMOTE ONLY. REMOVING THE IOD FUSE FOR A WHILE WILL CORRECT THE PORBLEM FOR A DAY OR TWO. *TR

LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN SWITCH IS TURNED OFF. PARKING LIGHTS STAY ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, TURN THEMSELVES BACK ON WHEN CAR IS UNLOCKED. OCCASIONALLY BLINKS OUT WHEN DRIVING (LESS THAN 1 SECOND BLINK). *TR
