Doors won't lock, open or latch by model year
What owners say
Passenger door lock failed and does not allow the door to be opened in an emergency. The door is designed to be unlocked by the first pull of the door handle then unlatched with the second pull of the handle, however after the first handle pull the lock immediately locks again preventing the second pull from unlatching the door. The system would be available for inspection. This problem has been reproduced and confirmed by manufacturer's dealer, but has not been inspected The electric door lock actuator had failed about a year ago, but still allowed the door lock to be used manually without any disruption to being able to open the door.
Intermittent issue where driver's side door won't unlock from the interior using the door handle. Door will not open until it's unlocked. Door can be unlocked using the electric central locking, and then opened using the handle.
Front/driver door will not unlock from time to time when I pull the handle
Door locking mechanism I starting to fail. At times it is impossible to open a door from the inside because of the door lock actuator when the rest of the car is unlocked. Currently, the only method to unlock it would be from the key or the door unlock button in the center of the vehicle. This could be dangerous in situations where one would need to exit the vehicle but they cannot because the door will not open.
