Consumer Description

MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT HAS HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THE DOORS NOT LATCHING AND/OR NOT BEING ABLE TO BE OPENED. THE DRIVER DOOR, SEEMS TO DO OK, AS LONG AS I KEEP IT LUBED. CURRENTLY, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. WHEN I LOOK AT THE LATCH, IT SEEMS TO BE MOVING FREELY, YET WILL NOT LATCH. IT HAS BEEN TIED CLOSED WITH A ROPE, SINCE OCTOBER 2013, AS IT WILL COST HUNDREDS, JUST TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. IT HAS MANUAL LOCKS, SO IS NOT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I NEED TO FIND A WAY TO FIX IT MYSELF, BUT CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR
