THE REAR POWER DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK WHATSOEVER IN MY TRUCK. TRYING TO UNLOCK/LOCK THE DOORS IN MY TRUCK WITH THE KEY FOB ONLY OPERATE THE FRONT DOORS. TRYING TO UNLOCK/LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROLS ONLY OPERATE THE FRONT DOORS AS WELL. THE ONLY WAY THE BACK DOORS WILL LOCK/UNLOCK IS IF IT IS DONE MANUALLY. WHEN THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED, THE BACK DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHEN THE TRUCK REACHES THE SPEED THAT ENGAGES ALL DOOR LOCKS WHEN IN DRIVE. THE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK WHEN PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO PARK. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF ONE OR THE OTHER IS MALFUNCTIONING, BUT NOT BOTH. THIS DEFINITELY INDICATES AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MY CHILDREN CAN GET TRAPPED IN IF THEY TRY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN ACCIDENT, THEY COULD GET KIDNAPPED/ASSAULTED IF THE BACK DOOR LOCKS WERE PULLED UP BY THEM WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE, MY ITEMS COULD GET STOLEN IN MY TRUCK IF ITS LEFT PARKED AND UNATTENDED, ETC. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN WITH A HUGE NUMBER OF SCENARIOS. I HAVE HAD MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK AS WELL THAT I WILL FILE SEPARATE COMPLAINTS ON EACH ISSUE. (TIPM ELECTRICAL ISSUES/NO POWER TO ANYTHING WHATSOEVER WITH THE TRUCK, TRANSMISSION SHIFT SOLENOID, STAYING IN 4TH GEAR, TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FLYING OUT OF THE TIRE WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH) THIS TRUCK IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO MY FAMILIES LIFE AS WELL AS MY OWN. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEAT TORE AND HAS A BIG HOLE. THE TRUCK IS A 2009 LARAMIE WITH 69,000 MILES CURRENTLY. THE SEAT TORE AROUND 37,000. TRUCK WAS SOLD WITH "LEATHER PACKAGE" BUT THE SEAT IS VINYL. I AM A WOMAN, WEIGHING 130 LBS. AND FEEL THIS PRODUCT SHOULD HAVE HELD UP MUCH BETTER, ESPECIALLY SINCE I PAID EXTRA FOR TOP OF THE LINE. CHRYSLER SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
