“This september I came home from my nieces wedding and went to open my passenger side door and it wouldn't budge.. I literally had to kick the door open. It has happened on numerous occasions now, I was told it is a problem in the wiring. The wiring under the floor mats aren't protected enough and become corroded because the floor boards gets wet.”

NHTSA complaint #10014519, filed 2003-04, 1 miles“On leaving the parking lot at southern maryland hospital, I heard a scraping noise coming from the bottom of the van. I quickly pulled over and looked under the van. The front frame had dropped to the road and I found that the steering wheel now turned 360 degrees. Fortunately, I had not entered a high speed road so I was able to pull over out of harms way before anything drastic happened. I had it towed to jack winegardner Chevrolet. They looked it over and said the bolt holding up the frame had sheered off. They did not know why it happened. …”
