Mazda5 2009 GT right Sliding door. Handle is loose. It wont close unless slammed hard. What could be the problem? Is it just the handle or something else on the inside?
I had a similar issue. The 'hook' part of the handle on the inside rear broke off. Door would not close if the handle did not get pushed back in properly. I went to pick and pull and got just the handle part and it resolved my issue. Just need to get it painted to match.
Yes, sometimes. I figured out it was related to the outside handle not going all the way back in. If it would not latch when closing play with the handle and make sure it popped in all the way in.
