Consumer Description

FREQUENTLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILS TO LATCH EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS SLAMS IT STILL WILL NOT LATCH IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN THE WEATHER GETS HOT. THE ONLY RESOLUTION TO OVERCOME THIS PROBLEM IS TO SNAP THE INSIDE RELEASE HANDLE THEN SLAM THE DOOR TO MAKE IT LATCH. MY CONCERN BESIDES HAVING TROUBLE LATCHING IT IS IT BECOMING UNLATCHED AT SOME POINT WHILE IN MOTION. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. *TR
