Owners report door handles sticking or breaking, which prevents the latch from catching the door frame.
Some owners tie doors shut with belts or bands after the latch mechanism breaks and the door will not stay closed.
A loud knocking or pressure noise occurs at highway speed when the rear window is open, worsening as speed increases.
Owners report dust entering the cabin through gaps under the back doors while driving on unpaved roads.
