While applying the brakes from between 65 to 45 mph there is a serious shaking felt through the steering wheel and column. There is also a problem with the automatic door locks not working when the car is put into motion. That really concerns me having three small children. The interior dome light also doesn't shut off as it should.

Interior map light is also the dome lights. Cannot shut off when the door is open. When the door sensor breaks the sensors thinks the door is open. This is hazardous at night since there is glare coming off the windshield.
