| Description of the problem | On sunday 9/1, i came out of church and could not open my passenger back door from the outside. My son took it to the dealer on 9/4 where i get my service done, he was told it would be $80 to look at the problem because my warranty had run out, but they would deduct the $80 from the price of repair, i did not get it fixed, low and behold on 9/4 after getting off work i went into the store, came out and my passenger side front door would not open from the outside, very dangerous, if i have an accident no one would be able to get me out nor my grandson out who sit behind the passenger seat, he is 5. What can i do if i cannot afford to get the doors repaired at this time. Seems like a very bad safety issue to me and the manufacture should fix this at no expense to me, seems like a recall to me. *jb |
