I keep up with the oil changes on this car - every 3,000 miles or so. Ever since I've had the car the back driver's side door has never opened; from the inside or outside. Then the driver's side door latch broke. We had a friend replace it about six months ago. Then the back passenger door was really tough to open about a month ago. It wouldn't close tight and flew open as I exited a parking lot. I had to stop, get out and chase some papers down the side of the road. So, we stopped using the back doors all together.

A few days ago I went to leave and the driver's side door handle was loose and wouldn't open, so I tried the passenger side door handle, it worked after a few tries and then didn't work. So, now all four doors are not usable. You have to climb through the hatch or leave a window down. To start the car you have to click, click three times with the key before you turn it on all the way and 90% of the time the key is stuck in the ignition and won't come out. Once in a while it will and surprise you, but usually not.
