LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WINDOW GASKETS OR DOOR WATER SEALS ARE FAILING ON ALL 4 DOORS. BOTH FRONT DOOR LOCKS ARE FROZEN; BOTH FRONT DOOR HANDLES ARE BEGINNING TO FREEZE; REAR DRIVER DOOR LOCK AND DOOR HANDLE IS BEGINNING TO FREEZE; REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK IS BEGINNING TO FREEZE. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAS BEEN FROZEN TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. WHEN DOOR WAS DISMANTLED EXTENSIVE RUST WAS FOUND ON ALL COMPONENTS. NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO ANY DOORS TO MY KNOWLEDGE OTHERWISE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BECOMING ENTRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE LIVED IN THE NORTHEAST FOR MOST OF MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT REPAIR, AND I HAVE FOUND NO REASON FOR THE INTERIOR DOOR RUST OTHER THAN FAILED GASKETS OR SEALS. PLEASE NOTE THIS VEHICLE IS A CHEVROLET, BUT "METRO" IS NOT LISTED AS A CHEVROLET OPTION ON THIS SITE.
