Consumer Description

I JUST PURCHASED OUR TRUCK SO THE DEALERSHIP WASHED IT. I PARKED THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES OUTSIDE IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND THE DOOR LATCH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT HOLD THE DOOR SHUT. THE DOOR WOULD JUST BOUNCE BACK OPEN WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE IT. AFTER PLAYING AROUND WITH THE LOCKS FOR A WHILE, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE DOOR TO CLOSE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND AGAIN THE PASSENGER DOOR WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. TAKING TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY TO HOPEFULLY GET IT FIXED. I'VE BEEN SEEING THAT THIS "FIX" DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK THOUGH.
