Aveo 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 31,000 miles
I arrived at the gas station to fill up and when I attempted to open the gas cap shield, the mechanism jammed and I had to pry it open. Then a few moments later, when I attempted to lock the door from the outside, the entire locking mechanism on the driver's side fell inside the interior of the car door. I have contacted the dealer and was told to bring it in. However, until I do there is no way to lock the door!
