Consumer Description

THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY, THE PROBLEM OCCURS MORE OFTEN WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE, BUT DOES OCCUR IN THE SUMMER TOO. THE DOORS WILL NOT LATCH, I HAVE TAKEN THEN TO A MECHANIC AND HE CANNOT SEE ANY PROBLEM. TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE PAST I HAVE TAKEN THE DOOR APART AND LUBRICATED ALL THE MECHANICAL PARTS. I ALWAYS HAVE TO CARRY BUNGEE CORDS IN MY CAR IN CASE THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. SEVERAL TIMES (AROUND 3-4 TIMES) MY DOOR HAS SWUNG OPEN WHILE DRIVING. SO FAR I NO PROPERTY DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED AND NO PERSON HAS BEEN INJURED, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR
