ON 7-24-19 I NOTICED THAT THE REAR SLIDER DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD NOT OPEN. IT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB, THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE BUTTON, THE INTERIOR DOOR SWITCH OR THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. IT JUST WOULD NOT OPEN.I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC (THE CAR WAS NO LONGER COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY). HE DETERMINED THAT IS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR . UNTIL THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE A REAR PASSENGER WOULD HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME EXITING THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY . I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL RECENT POSTING OF THIS PROBLEM ON YOUR WEBSITE AND FEEL YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. THE DOOR WAS REPAIRED BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM HAPPENING ON THE OTHER DOOR . I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 37 MONTHS AND IT HAS 41,000.00 MILES.
