Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There is a pin in my passenger door that falls out every few months or so. (about 3-5 times since it first happened) we just hold the door up and hammer the pin back into place when it happens and it stays for a few months. we've tried a few different kinds of clips to hold it in place to no avail. the door falls 1/2 way off and just hangs there. it hasn't happened while the car is moving...just when the car is parked and a passenger opens the door. the car was also sold to me with a bad bearing on the rear passenger tire...not sure if that's normal either around 40,000 miles. also, my fuel pump burned out around 46,000 miles...not sure if that's normal for a car or not. *ak
