Consumer Description

MY WIFE GOT IN THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T LATCH CLOSED. I TRIED TO REMOVE THE LATCH ASSEMBLY AND GAVE UP HOURS LATER. AFTER I PUT THE DOOR PANEL BACK TOGETHER I CHECKED THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR TO MAKE SURE I HAD THE TRIM PANEL ON CORRECTLY. WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE THAT DOOR IT WOULDN'T LATCH EITHER. WHEN I PUT THE VIN IN ON YOUR WEB SITE THE ONLY RESPONSE I GOT WAS: "FOREIGN SERVER RESPONDED WITH AN ERROR." *TR
