Last year the passenger door power lock stop working and i was replaced by my dealer under warranty.

Now the driver door one is giving me problems (sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt), just one month after the warranty expired.

The dealer is telling me that they need to replace the entire lock assy (as they did with the passenger door last year), but now i have to pay for it.

They want to charge me $300 for the assy + labor adding up to $400.

The Assy part number is 69040-53110 "Lock Assy, Door OR B".

Had anyone have problems with the doorlocks before and fixed in any other way?

any other recommedations?

 

oh wow that sucks
First time I've heard of door lock issues:X

 

OMG, that brings back bad memories of my '04 RX330. For a while, I had to use my key to lock/unlock the driver side door because the locking mechanism went out (after the warranty expired, of course). But all of a sudden one day, it started working again, and still does (my folks have the RX now). Since you have to pay to get it fixed, try waiting a while to see if it fixes itself. The lock would not move out of position (manually, from inside the RX), but using the key via the lock it would work.

Sorta related... the driver's side lock on our '05 Tacoma swings happily back & forth with no "catch". Gotta use the key manually to lock/unlock. The truck is a bare-bones model so there's no remote anyway.

 

Just sorta grabbing at straws here, but if it controlled by the computer maybe disconnect the battery, give it a minute or 2 and then reconnect to see if it comes back to life.

 

good to know..

 

shouldnt this be under warranty???

 

^^His warranty expired^^ So basically S.O.L.

 

that sucks... i have when you buy such a luxurious car and also dependable, you start having problems with it... They should do it for free cause its not your fault

 

I see the blind man said.

a good locksmith should be able to fix it with no problems. much cheaper too because they arent charging 90-100 per hour.

 

maybe it's because you're key fob is running out of batteries?

 

i have this same problem on my passenger side door locks. going in to get it serviced in the morning. still under warranty.. any ideahow long this repair should take? thinking of finally get reduced brake dust TSIB done while im at it... hopefully i get a nice loaner.
