| Door Latch problems |
The engine has 150,00 miles. It is losing coolant with no puddles to show for it. The oil pressure gauge shows 0 at idle. The engine constantly overheats. No sign of head gasket leak. Coolant overflow tank fills with coolant/oil/rust mixture after running the engine for 5 minutes. Door locks don't work sometimes. Tail lights work on and off while the lights are off. All problems started within the last year.
Door hinges fail and cause door to become unaligned. This causes the lock latch to bump against the hook. This has caused the latch to break off inside of the door.
