Defect
Due to a software issue, the Door Control Unit (DCU) for the drivers and front passenger doors may not operate as intended. As a result, it could prevent the doors from locking or unlocking, exterior mirrors from folding or adjusting and the windows from auto reversing. In addition, when the vehicle has been parked for an extended period, the vehicle transmission may lock in Park position and unable to move the vehicle forward.
