Consumer Description

AT MULTIPLE TIMES, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE LATCH. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MAINLY WHEN IT GETS VERY COLD OUTSIDE. WHEN I PULL THE LATCH IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT CATCHES ANYTHING INSIDE THE DOOR. THIS PROBLEM WILL GO ON FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, AND THEN SUDDENLY THE LATCH WILL BEGIN TO WORK AGAIN. *TR
