| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Beginning in 2002 the rear doors on 1996 saturn sl2 began opening spontaneously while driving, first the passenger side, then the driver side. they would not relatch. we used bunji cords and then finally rope through partially open windows to keep them from flying open at speed. repeated open and shutting and playing with mechanism finally got them to latch and keeping them locked seemed to help. recently the door on passenger side was accidentally opened and would not latch again. same thing on drivers side. although we got them latched and locked again, no passenger or cargo is safe in the back seat if those doors are unlocked or sometimes even when locked.*ak |
