THE DOOR STRIKER POST ON THE DOOR KEEPS FAILING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO FOUR DIFFERENT VEHICLES ALL THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THE METAL BEHIND THE STRIKER POST IS TOO WEAK AND CRACKS OUT. THIS ALLOWS THE DOOR TO BREAK FREE AND SWING OPEN. THIS CREATES A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY OF A FIREFIGHTER FALLING FROM THE APPARATUS. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ANDY NEYLON, ARLINGTON, TEXAS FIRE DEPARTMENT AT 817-459-5520 IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
