LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
THE REAR DOOR LATCH FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY NOW. DEALERSHIP SERVICE WRITER SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE REAR DOOR LATCH BEING BENT. WE HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING THAT WE KNOW OF THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO OCCUR. SUSPECT TOO WEAK A COMPONENT BEING USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE HAD OTHER MIN-VANS WHERE THE SIDE DOOR WAS USED MORE FREGUENTLY THAN ON OUR CURRENT VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS OCURRING. STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS.3 4RRONE

#724160June 18, 2000
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE SLIDING DOOR HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE WE FIRST GOT OUR MINIVAN. AT FIRST THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THE HINGE WAS BAD - IT WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD. THE NEXT TIME THAT I TOOK IT IN FOR THIS THEY SAID THAT WE WERE EXPERIENCING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I REFUSED TO PAY STATING THAT A NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES DOORS HINDGES AND LATCHES WEARING OUT IS NOT NORMAL. THE NEXT TIME THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE IT WAS THE LATCH, THE NEXT TIME IT WAS THE UPPER HINDGE THEN THE LOWER AND BACK AND FORTH. FOR OVER SIX YEARS WE HAVE HAD LATCHES AND HINDGES REPLACED. HALF THE TIME THE DOOR WONT OPEN, THE OTHER HALF IT WONT CLOSE. OH, THEN THERES THOSE TIMES THE DOOR JUST FLYS OPEN AS WE ACCELARATE OR TURN A CORNER. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT WE NEED TO BUY A NEW DOOR AND THEN HAVE THE FRAME REBENT. AS I HAVE SPOKE WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL MINIVAN THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS. OR THE DOOR HAS JUST FALLEN OFF. IN ADDITION TO THIS ALL OF OUR PAINT IS PEELING OFF. WE HAD INTENDED TO KEEP THIS THROUGH TILL THE YEAR 2004. HOWEVER I AM BECOMING INCREASINGLY CONCERED SINCE OUR DAUGHTER ALMOST FELL OUT AS WE TURNED A CORNER AND THE SLIDING DOOR FLEW OPEN THEN AS SHE IS FASTENED IN LEANED AS THE DOOR SLAMMED CLOSED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CAREFULL AND FULL INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. GIVEN THAT THIS IS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD I FEEL THAT THE MANUFATURE SHOULD NOT CLAIM THAT THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.
