WHEN I WAS IN MY CAR ONE DAY, I PARKED AND TRIED TO GET OUT. THE DOOR STUCK AND I THINK THIS WAS BECAUSE THE RUBBER STUCK TO THE DOOR.. IT TOOK ME FIFTEEN MINUTE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. I HAD TO LIFT UP THE BOTTOM OF THE NOW DETACHED INSIDE PLASTIC FRAME IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. IN ABOUT A YEAR< THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER DOOR> MY DAUGHTER TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DOOR GOT STUCK... SHE PUSHED THE DOOR AND THE PLASTIC INSIDE FRAME DETACHED FROM THE DOOR THE SAME WAY THE DRIVER'S SIDE DID. NOW WE MUST LIFT THAT DOOR TOO.. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME AND IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND WE HAVE TO GET OUT, THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN. IF THERE WAS A FIRE OR CRASH.. I MET SOMEONE WITH THE EXACT YEAR AND MODEL CARE AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM... PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

FRIDAY, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT, I LUCKILY MADE IT TO WORK. IT MADE AN AWFUL SOUND LIKE SOMETHING BROKE. LATER THAT DAY, I TOOK IT TO A NEARBY GARAGE, THE MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN & HIS SUGGESTION WAS TO TAKE IT TO A JUNK YARD & HOPE FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS, OTHER WISE, IT WOULD COST 2000.00 FOR A REMANUFACTURED MOTOR & 1000.00 FOR LABOR TO INSTALL THE MOTOR. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE CHRYSLER 2.7 MOTOR WAS NOTORIOUS FOR BROKEN TIMING BELTS & THE ENGINES LOCKING UP. *TR
