2010 Chevrolet Cobalt Body & Structure Problems

Internal mechanism of the driver-side door handle broke and the door would not open from the inside. Tne dealership confirmed that the inside door ah glue is broken. The cable retainer snapped apart and the cable cannot stay connected. This might be available for inspection. Driver must exit the vehicle by crawling over to the passenger side. The problem has been confirmed by a Chevrolet dealer. There were no warning lamps or messages. The manufacturer no longer makes this part and it could not be replaced. Service description says that the customer had an electrical concern and that the door would not unlock from the inside. This was inaccurate. It was mechanical. The door could unlock, it could not open. The dealership would not let the diagnosis proceed until the customer agreed to that statement. The dealership inaccurately recorded the mileage.

DOOR HANDLES BROKE AND DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. I WILL SAVE THE HANDLE FOR EVIDENCE IF YOU NEED THEM

THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR. THE CAR WAS NEVER DAMAGED, AS I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW FROM THAT SAME DEALERSHIP. WITHIN TWO WEEKS AFTER THIS REPAIR, THE DRIVER'S DOOR DID NOT CLOSE. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID TO OPEN THE BACK DOORS, IN CASE THEY DO NOT CLOSE. BESIDES THE HUGE AMOUNT OF STRESS AND FEAR, I WAS CHARGED APPROXIMATELY $330.00 FOR EACH DOOR. I FEEL THIS WAS A SIMILAR OCCURRENCE OTHER VEHICLES HAVE HAD WHEN THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. *JS

DOORS WON'T ALWAYS OPEN. HARD TO GET OPEN EVEN FROM THE INSIDE. WE DO NOT HAVE POWER LOCKS. *TR

UPON ARRIVING HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL , I CLOSED AND LOCKED THE DRIVERS DOOR TO SECURE THE VEHICLE FOR THE NIGHT AND DISCOVERED THE NEXT MORNING THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT LATCHED OR LOCKED . LUCKILY NOTHING WAS MISSING FROM THE CAR. *TR
