Door Pull

Can't believe it, went to get out of my car this morning and the internal door pull didn't work!!! Had to wind the window down to get out!!! Took the car back to the dealers & they are fixing it for me.

I kicked off cause only had it 6 weeks, they are going to return it with replacement floor mats, full tank of fuel & a full valet.

Re: Door Pull

I'd be more likely to kick off because it is a known fault. Why they just didnt recall all the early grande's for a niggle sort is beyond me.

Re: Door Pull

The exact same thing happened to me today. My doors wouldn't close though. Which left me in a bit of a panic coz I park on the street overnight. Luckily I got it to lock eventually.

Bugger is I'm going to the lakes tomorrow and I can't take my Mk2b coz it's got a slow puncture. I'm gonna call the garage tomorrow and hopefully get it fixed on Tuesday (and get a new tyre for my Mk2b).
