“I own a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage that I bought new off the lot. I noticed it had trouble shutting several years ago and it had a loud squeak. About a year later the drivers side door had the same issue for a few months in the winter but stopped in the summer. This winter (2006/2007) the passenger door started acting up once again. It wasn't until around easter that I was with my daughter shopping and after 3 or 4 stops the door wouldn't close. It had dropped about 1 inch so it no longer lined up. When we got home I checked the hinges. …”

The doors were hard to open ,and the contact had to lift the doors to close them properly with normal use. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who said there was nothing they could do about it. The hinges were replaced by the contact at his own expense. The second time this happened about a week ago. …”
