We own both a 1998 and 2000 express van and we have a problem with both of them with regards to the side passenger doors (The 'double' doors). We have had a dealer drill holes in the hinges to lubricate them as they seize up and become very hard to open and close. This is just a temporary and eventually an ineffective fix. I believe this is a safety hazard as we have 6 children of which 3 have to sit in the back seat and if there were to be an emergency we wouldn't be able to get the left door open to get the kids out faster.

There are 3 doors on the passenger side the one that has the 2 doors for the people in the back to get out that the door with the handle that is in the inside will open but scrapes the outer metal frame. This door did open and work fully until one day and I don't know what happen I wanted to open it and it wouldn't open. I didn't want to force it nor knock any more paint off. I don't know if it is the hinge itself or something else.when I bought it in 1999 don't know how long it was but mark 3 went out of business so I don't know if there was a recall or not . Also when the t.V and vcr are on…
