1) ONE MORNING, I GOT TO WORK AND OPENED THE 3RD DOOR TO GET MY WORK RELATED ITEMS OUT. AFTER WORK WHEN I WAS GOING HOME, THE 3RD DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE HANDLE WOULD MOVE, BUT WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. HERTIAGE SAID THAT THE BOLTS WERE NOT TIGHTENED CORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY. ON 23 JULY, THIS PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED. 2) WHEN I HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONING ON, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY. IT SOUNDS AS IF THE ENGINE IS BEING MAXED OUT.
