1998 S-10 EXT CAB WITH 3RD DOOR. SAFETY PROBLEM - DRIVER'S ONLY LATCHES ABOUT HALF THE TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE THIRD DOOR ON THE EXTENDED CAB. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO SLAM THE DOOR TO MAKE IT CLOSE. I OWNED AN S-10 REGULAR CAB FOR 10 YEARS BEFORE THIS S-10 AND NEVER HAD TO SLAM THAT DOOR TO SECURE IT. I HAVE SEEN OTHER S-10 EXTENDED CABS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR SO THIS MUST BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO SEEN OTHER REPORTS OF IT ON YOUR SITE HERE. I THINK IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S DOOR NOT SECURELY LATCHED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE MUST BE A FIX FOR THIS.
