The contact owns a 1999 Chevrolet Express 3500 van. The hinge on the double doors on the side froze, they will not open anymore. Previously, they where hard to open, and now they are cracking. The dealership said this was bad design. Also, dealership told her that there was back order on the hinges. Obviously a lot of people were having similar problems. The consumer ran a day care center. It was difficult for children to go from the front of the van to the back. In an emergency it would be impossible to get the children out of the van fast enough.
Vehicle's door hinge is broken and inoperable. The consumer had taken the vehicle to two different Chevrolet dealers while the vehicle was under it's original warranty. The side door hinge was broken and not operable. (g 1500).
Hinges on rear side door sticks. Bad design. Unable to grease thoroughly. I can only imagine that somewhere down the road this will lock and the hinge will detach from the side of the van. This is the second of the two side doors the one closer to the rear of the van.
Side door hinges are stiffing up. Tried oiling numerous times. Door is very hard to open and close. If something would happen my younger kids will not be abel to push door open.
The door hinges froze up after a period of time. The consumer had to use excessive force to close the door which caused the door to be misaligned. Ph.
