DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE OR LATCH. THE DOOR HAD TO BE 'ZIP TIED' TO REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FOR MY VEHICLE WHICH HAS COMFORT ACCESS AND SOFT CLOSE DOORS. I FIND THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF THE ACTUATOR FAILS THAT THE DOOR CANNOT BE CLOSED AT ALL.
