After taking my car in for a scheduled 45000 mile service in september 2001, I noticed that the driver door was making a popping noise. I thought that the door had simply not been lubed. When I took my vehicle in for the next service in january 2002, I specified that the door was popping and to make sure it was lubed. I was assured that it would be lubed. When I picked up my vehicle it was still making the popping noise. Within a week it was making a horrible noise. I called and was told that the door hinge had most likely broken away from the frame of the vehicle and would have to be re-welded. I was told that this was something they had seen previously on this model and others, and that it was not due to wear or tear on the car. I believe this to be a defect in the assembly of the car. I do not know if a safety issue exists with regard to exiting the car following a collision, or with the door's structural integrity during a collision.
Automatic door locks and automatic trunk lock failed to open.
When opening the door from the inside with door handle, it will pinch the occupant's finger. This occurs on all the inside door handles. Dealer says it is the design.
