 During a family ouging we were unable to close the right rear passenger door. experienced difficulty closing door. after several attempts, i noticed the door was not aligned with the body of the car which prohibited thedoor latch to connect and close. the door would not close shut completely and has since kno ked while driving and also creates a safet y hazard for children & adults because it it te primary exit for the rear exit to the sidewalk forcing passengers to exit from the rear left door passenger door onto the street to oncomming traffic that can lead to accident, bodily injury or fatality. no prior maintenance instructions or suggested upkeep was documented in the buyers manual which came with the vehicle that would indicate possible hinge corrosion or rusting. possible pin defect detected by certified dealer on 10/7/2012, when taken in for datety recall on fule filler pipe recall 12166 campaygn id#12v388. multiple complaint for hinge/pins have been documented in complaints on safercar.org website for 2003 chevy express van. i believe this issue should be investigated to avoid accidental deaths due to inoperable access to sidewalk from the left rear passenger door.
