So I went to lock my car today by pushing the power lock button as I usually have been since I've owned the car for almost a year now, and the power lock button will lock the passenger door but not the drivers door. The drivers door lock will wiggle a little bit as if it is struggling to flip over. So now I have to manually move the lock on the drivers handle to make it lock completely. Anyone else have this problem? Is this ANOTHER notorious problem with our cars lol?

 

maybe a busted clip or it thinks the door is still open and the key is in the ignition....

 

Sounds like the classic symptoms of a bad lock actuator. When you lock it manually do both sides require the same amount of force to move?

 

Same problem here, but its my passenger side that doesnt want to lock unless i manually do it

 

This exact thing started with mine last night. I took the door apart and it looks like the lock actuator is bad.

 

Damn it lol. How much does a new actuator cost and how hard is it to install? Looks like I may need to replace mine...

 

I've had a similar problem. when i lock the car from the inside and try to unlock it using the controls the passenger doesnt want to unlock, thus me having to manually unlock it with a key.

 

have this same problem now as well...soo annoying.
