“I own a 97 Gmc truck. Currently, the truck has a little over 55,000 miles. Approximately, 2 years ago the interior door handle failed to open the driver side door. I took the vehicle to lehmers in concord and they repaired the problem at no charge to me... It was still under warranty. Last week the same problem occurred on the driver side and started to show signs of the same problem on the passenger side door. Since the vehicle was out of warranty, I decided to save a buck and fix the problems myself. …”
