problem #1

May 082015

Cobalt LS 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles

I have had an ongoing issues with the door latches especially in the hot summer months and cold winter months In the summer the doors stick and it is very hard to open them if the will open at all( my family members have even had to crawl out of the winders to get out of this car !. In the winter months the doors have suddenly opened on us! I have started to fear for the safety of my family and myself driving this car now. I have had to replace one already because it suddenly opened and my son would have fell out of the car if it hadn't been for his seat belt !... which btw is a whole other issue I will also posting about as well. When it isn't the problem of keeping the door closed then it's getting stuck and won't allow the door to be opened. This happens with the remaining 3 doors. I finally got the right rear passenger door to latch and now keep it lock and unused for fear of it not latching again.Though I had the first broken latch fixed at the dealership to the tune of $198.00 it no longer pops open but does stick like the others do. The dealership told me that they have no clue as to what is causing it. At a cost of $198.00 per door to try and fix this issue I believe this is highway robbery and it should be a recall issue!
