Consumer Description

THE LATCH ASSEMBLY AT THE REAR OF THE DOOR IS JAMMED SO THAT THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. I HAVE MANAGED TO GET IT BACK INTO THE RIGHT POSITION ON TWO OTHER OCCASSIONS BY PRYING IT INTO PLACE (NO, I DID NOT BEND IT OR ALTER IT IN ANY WAY). THIS TIME, HOWEVER, IT SIMPLY WON'T CLOSE. THE "LOOP" IS UP. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TROUBLESOME AS THE PROBLEM OCCURED WHEN I WAS SHOPPING. I HAD TO TAKE MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN HOME WITH THE DOOR BEING HELD SHUT BY A SEAT BELT. I DON'T BELIEVE A DOOR LATCH OF THIS AGE SHOULD FAIL. IT IS FULLY LUBRICATED.*AK
