| Description of the problem | Passenger sliding (manual door, not electric version) door will not unlatch when trying to open. Opens about 1/2 inch, but does not move any farther (this is not a freeze/ice issue, it is happening all the time in warm weather). Latch appears not to be unlatching. If i pull really hard, grabbing on the sliding door from the outside while the front passengers door is open(so i can grab the sliding door with 2 hands), i can get the door to finally open. No way to do it without doing that. Used to be occasional, but happening all the time now. Driving with door partially open is a safety condition. Not being able to open the door in an emergency is a safety issue. Having kids get in on the road side of the street is a safety issue. |
