NHTSA complaint #10053284, filed 2004-01, 50,000 miles“When we purchased our vehicle we were so very happy but that in time that has changed. For some reason the doors started to stiffen up and were getting hard to open and close no matter what we tried doing. We were greasing the hinges like anyone normal person should and they just kept getting worse until one day the door just seemed to be not sitting right. So we locked that door and stoped using it until we could have it looked at. Then a few weeks later an other door started doing the same thing. We took in the car and was told that the hinge was no longer attached because it had broke. …”
