  1. First post here just for this topic. I bought my '12 used with 56K in 2017 from a used car dealer that I have bought a total of 4 vehicles from. I purchased an extended warranty for it when I made the deal. Shortly after driving it for a bit the rear liftgate would not lock and occasionally the doors would not want to lock completely. I would have to hit the lock button 3-4 times to completely lock them. I took it to the used car dealer and they claimed to replace the body control module under the extended warranty. Fast forward until several months ago, the rear defrost stopped working and then the rear lock stopped working again. The final straw was I had a taillight stop working and my state inspection is due in a month or two. I took a look at it this weekend and found where they used a couple of butt connectors and mended three wires in the harness boot where the door meets the body. I spent the next hour fixing it right by adding primary wire and soldering and heatshriking the connections then wrapping the entire wire bundle with electrical tape as much as I could with the boot being compressed back as far as could manage. I feel like this is better than factory with the extra support of the tape splinting it all together. Now everything works as it should.
