Consumer Description

REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED AND HANDLE WOULD NOT LET PASSENGER OUT. I LOCKED AND UNLOCKED DOOR AND PASSENGER COULD MOVE HANDLE BUT NOT OPEN THE DOOR. I WENT TO THE DOOR AND TRIED TO OPEN AND THE EXTERIOR HANDLE WOULD NOT OPEN DOOR. TRIED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH REMOTE, BUTTONS IN CAR AND MANUALLY TO NO AVAIL. HAVE SEEN MANY REFERENCES TO SAME PROBLEM BUT NO SOLUTIONS. DEALER WANTS $120.00 TO TELL ME HOW MUCH TO FIX THE DOOR. THIS IS SOMETHING DEFECTIVE AND NOT A WORKAROUND BY CHEVROLET. OTHER MODELS IN THIS YEAR HAVE HAD A RECALL BUT HHR'S I GUESS DID NOT MAKE IT. GLAD THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT WITH A FIRE. *TR
