| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The drivers side door has operated fine for years then one day it was closed normally and is never to be opened again (from inside or outside, locked or unlocked). it appears there is a fault with the internal door latch. at this point, the door will just not open. i am unable to remove the door panel to diagnose the problem because the door is closed. it's a real catch22. i am now forced to enter and exit the vehicle from the passanger side. which has me concerned because if i have to exit in an emergency it may be a problem. right now i am trying to get someone to give me an estimate on what it would cost to repair but no one can because they say they have to remove the door panel first. i feel this is a defective part due to it's design (if the door latch is to fail from normal wear and tear then there should at least be some means to open the door so it can be repaired!) so far no deaths or injuries have occured but i would hate to see something like that happen because of someone not being able to get out of their car. |
