| Door Latch problems |
The first time I had a problem with the door locks the l/r door would not open. After some time I was able to open the door by manually holding the unlock button while pulling on the door handle. A few months later the r/r door would not unlock. I could not unlock the door from either inside or outside, this makes 2 doors inoperable. Some time later,the r/f door won't unlock or open from outside. The r/f door can be opened by holding up on the unlock button and pulling on the inside door handle . This makes 3 doors down, also, door locks make a whining noise, what a death trap. I am 72 years old and I have never in my life seen anything like this. I was told that repair cost would be about 350. 00 per door. Thank you.
: the contact stated the passenger side door actuator broke and the door will not open from the inside. To exit the vehicle, the passenger must exit from the driver's side. The local dealership was contacted and offered to repair the actuator. The price was $400. 00 per door. The contact repaired the door at the cost of 220. 00 now, the rear door was making the same noise made by the front door, indicating the door is ready to fail. The repair is expensive and unpredictable. The actuators could fail at any time and lock one in the vehicle. The contact felt it was dangerous and unsafe.
