Dealer advised it is a bracket inside the door that has broken, possibly due to broken welds holding said bracket. The Dealer advised that this is an unfixable issue, and the entire door needs replaced. If it is not fixed, the dealer said it will cause other issues with the door, possibly leaving it inoperable.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Vehicle has 32,600 miles. On start, received the following warnings. "Check Brake System", "Hill Start Assist Not Available", Pre-Collision Assist Not Available", and the ABS light was lit. The brakes were extremely hard to use. Had vehicle towed to Dealership. Dealership tested and received Code U3000. They "reprogrammed" the ABS, PCM and IPC Modules and performed a "battery disconnect". The fix was not covered by warranty. The dealership said that this could happen again. They were vague about whether it could occur only on start or at any time. Reoccurrence at road speed would likely result in an accident as the vehicle was extremely hard to stop.
