Body problem #1

Drivers door since purchasing the car in 2017 when it's cold out "winter time" by drivers door once open, will not latch back and close- takes it warming up before my drivers door will latch and shut . Temps 30 or under , the mechanism freezes and will not allow the door to latch shut.

Body problem #2

Vehicle swerved in right rear quarter panel with no wind, air, or other source of pressure on interstate. Tires, especially right rear, spun without movement when clutch engaged in driveway; entire vehicle failed to move or gain traction when clutch fully engaged in friends dirt yard; at odd times, vehicle made noise in right rear axle/wheel area failing to respond to clutch release--most noticeably on concrete pad in front of garage with two mechanics questioning. Returned vehicle to dealer as unsafe to operate with request that it be trashed rather than sold to unsuspecting buyer who might find themselves marooned or wrecked without knowing how or why it happened.
