“THE PASSENGER'S DOOR OF MY SSR WAS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND I WAS CONFIDENT THE ISSUE WAS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD EXPERIENCED PREVIOUSLY WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND RESULTANT TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 05-08-64-026) WHICH PREVIOUSLY HAD BEEN FIXED BY KEN DIXON CHEVROLET (JUNE OF 2011). AT THAT TIME, KEN DIXON (NOW MANAGED UNDER WALDORF CHEVY CADILLAC) DECLINED MY REQUEST TO REPLACE PASSENGER'S SIDE DEFECTIVE PART EVEN THOUGH THE TSB HAD INDICATED TO DO SO. WALDORF CHEVY CADILLAC NOW SAYS THE PART REQUIRED TO FIX MY CAR IS DISCONTINUED AND NOT AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD "IT CANNOT BE FIXED. THE PART IS DISCONTINUED, NOT AVAILABLE FROM GM." I ASKED, "ARE YOU SAYING I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT AND THERE IS NO FIX? THAT IS, GM ISSUED A TSB AND THEN DISCONTINUED THE PART WITH NO FUTURE PLANS OR OPTIONS FOR CARS THAT ARE LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD?" THE ANSWER WAS "CORRECT, YOU MAY PICK UP THE CAR". I WAS GIVEN NO INDICATION THAT WALDORF CHEVY CADILLAC OR GM WOULD ATTEMPT TO FIND ANY SOLUTION. WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK FROM WALDORF CHEVY CADILLAC, THE DOOR IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL FROM THE INSIDE. I NOW HAVE A CAR WITH A PASSENGER SIDE DOOR…”
