I am having a problem when building a car that when i try to extrude the edges anywhere on the front of the car including doors it seems to set the pivot someplace stupid instead of along the first where if i do the same thing on the back it sets the pivo correctly and orrentates it as well, why wont it do this on the front

Here an image of the front

Pivot marked in red
