Issue with door handle unlock

Orion335 · 10-21-2017, 05:52 PM

Hey guys,
Recently, when I've parked and try to get out the car, the door lock will get stuck. It's just the driver's door to the best of my knowledge, and I can only get it open by hitting the central lock/unlock when this happens. I've included a video link. Any solutions?
Thanks!

I had this issue. Get your door lock actuator replaced. See link to my thread about this.

+1 for the same issue, its a common problem. There is a new part that shouldn't give you problems once replaced.

Should they replace all four or just the affected one?

They will only place the affected one, unless you can make another produce the same problem.

Hi Folks

I am having this unlock issue but my problem is different from what you described in this thread. The central unlock button does not work. The key fob does not work either. I can only open the door using the vale key. The door handle works fine. I checked the fuses and they seem to be fine. Worst part, I had to get gas and could not open the gas tank door. I then found the release cable in the trunk for this so I can at least put gas in the car. Anyone had unlock issue I described? The doors do lock fine and even the lights and all work when the unlock button on the key s pushed and I hear something but none of the doors or the fuel door unlocks.
Thanks
Erhan
