Door Latch Problems of Chevrolet S10 - part 2

Two fold complaint about the same part. Third door handle on ext cab Chevrolet s-10 broke off in my hand. Since I purchased the truck the third door handle would depress but wouldn't open the door. It partially unlatches, but won't open until I bump the door to secure the latch, then repeat the process a second time. The repair was covered under warranty, but the handle will still only open the door about 50% of the time & feels as though it could break off in my hand every time I use it. I was informed this is a common problem with this make of vehicle.

I have had to replace the third door handle twice now on my 1999 chevy s-10. I have also had to replace the driver's seat reclinder handle twice. I feel that this is a matter that needs to be researched more. Due to these recurrant problems are a defalt. The handles seem to be "snapping" of with no warning, and I feel that they are unsafe.

1998 s-10 ext cab with 3rd door. Safety problem - driver's only latches about half the time. I was told that it is a design problem because of the third door on the extended cab. I was told that I had to slam the door to make it close. I owned an s-10 regular cab for 10 years before this s-10 and never had to slam that door to secure it. I have seen other s-10 extended cabs on the interstate with the driver's door ajar so this must be a wide spread problem. I have also seen other reports of it on your site here. I think it is very unsafe to have the driver's door not securely latched in case of an accident. There must be a fix for this.
