    Dec 16. I have been having issues opening and closing my driver side door. The latch won't hook correctly. I have the door close, because if i open it won't close. It's difficult to open from the inside and out side. Right now i have to climb over to the passenger side to be able to get out of my car. Apparently this is a common problem with my make and module of car. Its definitely a hazard. *tr
