Consumer Description

TODAY A COLD FRONT MOVED IN. I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE FROM MY GRANDPARENTS AND IT HAS SPENT ITS WHOLE LIFE IN THE GARAGE.NOW IT IS ALWAYS OUTSIDE. MULTIPLE TIMES THIS YEAR THE DOOR LATCHES HAVE GOTTEN STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS NOT TO SHUT, AND ME HAVING TO HOLD THEM CLOSED AS I DRIVE. THEY EVENTUALLY START WORKING ( USUALLY AFTER 20-30 MINS OF DRIVING). I HAVE TRIED DE-ICER AND GREASE BUT NOTHING WORKS. MY MOMS 2005 FORD FREESTYLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE, EXCEPT IT WAS RECALLED BECAUSE OF IT. I FIND IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT I HAVE TO HOLD MY DOORS CLOSED OR THEY FLY OPEN WHEN I DRIVE. *TR
