| The third door release latch has been replaced twice for the same reason. the latch itself broke where the linkage to open the door is strained and has become fatigued and broke. the dealer at one point claimed that this had been a problem and the first replacement part was an updated version however it didn't last very long before it needed to be replaced. my vehicle is almost out of warranty and i will soon have to be paying to get these replaced on my own. please invesitgate because if you have anyone in the back seat of the truck you cannot get out in an accident unless you climb through or over the passenger/drivers seat. *ak | |||
