Consumer Description

I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE LATCHES ON MY DOORS. IT STARTED WITH MY PASSENGER FRONT DOOR. I WOULD CLOSE THE DOOR AND IT WOULD POP OPEN A LITTLE AND WOULDN'T CLOSE. AFTER A FEW TRIES IT CLOSED BUT THIS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. EVENTUALLY IT CLOSED PERMANENTLY AND NOW WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. IT IS A SAFETY HAZZARD THAT THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED. THIS IS NOW BEGINNING TO HAPPEN WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR, WHERE WHEN I CLOSE IT AND IT WON'T STAY CLOSED, I HAVE TO HOLD IT WHILE DRIVING ON OCCASION. THEN IT WILL SHUT AND WORK AND THEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE TO DRIVE AND HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED AND I CANNOT IMAGINE HAVING TWO FRONT DOORS THAT WON'T OPEN. THIS REALLY HAS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.
