What's wrong: In these vehicles, the doors May appear to be closed and latched, but, in fact, May inadvertently open.
Why it matters: The door May unexpectedly open due to road or driving conditions or occupant contact with the door. The sudden opening May result in occupant ejection or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
