I don't know if Raymond fixed his or not, but this is a serious problem for me. If it is just a matter of giving the door a whack, I'm OK with that. But if fixing it was a fluke, there is a possibility that it wont open at all. And this bothers me. What if I were in a situation where I really needed to exit the car quickly and the door won't open? What if I were in an accident, or stuck on railroad tracks with a train coming? I can think of a lot of reasons to wonder about this. Granted they may be far fetched, but there is always that "what if". And on top of that it's a new car. Maybe SAAB needs to figure out what is happening. Could possibly be a recall. Just my $.02.
