“I purchased my 2003 chevy EXPRESS 3500 in 2003. On the passenger side of the van there is a front passenger door and are two passenger doors on the side of the van. In five years time I have had trouble with the side passenger door hinge seizing up and now I can't open the left side door and it is improperly seated in the door opening, I now do not have a tight seal and the right side door cannot close properly. This poses a safety hazard because in an emergency the left side door cannot be opened.”
