The Driver's side door of our 1996 Saturn Stationwagon won't catch when you close the door. In otherwords, if I drove the car, I can close the door but it doesn't catch and therefore the door will open up because it isn't locked.

First make sure the bolts which hold the latch mechanism to the door are firmly screwed in. if that ain't it, remove the post which it clamps onto from the door jamb and switch it with one from a back door. close the back door firmly, lock it and never use it again. if that ain't it go to www.getsaturnparts.com and buy yourself a new door latch mechanism and pay an auto glass shop to put it in for you.

Radio won t shut off when the drive door is open

It is because you didn't open/close the driver side door. Contrary to the RAP system on earlier GM vehicles, the accessory power will stay on until the driver side door, rather than any door.

I suspect there is nothing wrong with your Saturn

2008 Dodge Caliber driver side front door won't close.

They have been a known problem and need to be lubricated often. There may even be a technical service bulletin on them , check with dealer for possibility of any partial extended warranty regarding those hinges.

Driver side door won't open

mine did the same thing - my mechanic told me to open it real lightly and it will open - it has worked for me ever since. I just don't pull on the handle hard - just slow.

My 1998 bmw 528I doors won't close. The door catch is stuck

You should be able to move the door catch with your hands or a short heavy screw driver. If you use a screw driver be careful not to scratch your paint. Before trying to move the catch be sure your door is unlocked. It should flip back to the open position with a little effort.

Good Luck

Hey, You need to remove the panel otherwise u can't reattach the metal sticks that move the locks, but i think it's hard to remove it in a closed posision when u don't brake it
