NHTSA Complaint #10725797 — 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE THE 2ND WEEK IN APRIL I TRIED TO OPEN MY CAR DOOR USING MY KEY AS I TURNED, ALTHOUGH T2/15HE LOCK LOCKS AND UNLOCKS, THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TRIED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND IT JUST BOUNCED BACK OPEN. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER HERE IN PA AT WHICH TIME THE DOOR LATCH CONNECTED WITH NO SIGNS OF AN ISSUE. THE SERVICE TECH LOOKED AND THE LATCH AND SAID TO ME, "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, JUST LIFT UP THE LATCH AND THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM. YESTERDAY, I GO TO LUNCH, OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE KEY AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I GO TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I TRIED FOR ABOUT 1/2 HOUR. I ASKED A TECHNICIAN FROM MY JOB TO SEE IF HE CAN OPEN THE DOOR TO LET ME OUT AND IT DID NOT OPEN, I HAD TO CLIMB OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND LEAVE ALL LOCKS SO I COULD GET IN THROUGH PASSENGERS SIDE TO GO BACK HOME. APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH MECHANIC ON 4/22/15. TWO WEEKS AGO MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OFF AND ON. I'VE HAD OIL AND OTHER THINGS CHECKED TO NO AVAIL.
