Driver's side passenger door left rear door latch on 2002 chevrolet trailblazer ls is stuck. the door will not shut! i have read another complaint for the very same reason and a very similar situation to the ext and there is a recall on the ext but doesn't pertain to the ls. i can't shut my door because the latch won't connect.i opened the door and could not shut it after that because it wouldn't latch. we have looked everywhere and have not been able to locate the part at a reasonable price. i was in the process of selling it, but because of this faulty defect we cannot sell it. we have not been able to get it fixed. no one seems to have the part and we contacted dealerships and they looked up recalls but couldn't help us cause our vin number isn't covered. what do we do now?? *tr

We rented a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer from alamo rental in cleveland ohio on july 7, 2005. on july 10 we parked the vehicle in a valet zone and my wife and i stepped outside the vehicle to remove our daughter. i turned off the vehicle but left the key in the ignition. when we closed our doors the doors automatically locked before we could open the door to remove our child. we were forced to call 911. when the officer could not unlock the vehicle and a follow up call to the locksmith revealed that they were still 30 minutes away we were forced to break the rear window to gain entry and remove our child. when we returned the vehicle the rental agent was aware of similar lockouts. we have owned both toyota's and volkswagens that will automatically lock the 3 passenger doors but require the driver to manual lock the driver side door or to use the key fob while standing outside the vehicle. consequently, we are furious that gm would install a system that could instantly endanger a child especially on a hot summer day.
