Consumer Description

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED CAUSING IT TO BE STUCK IN THE "LOCKED" POSITION. USING THE KEY FOB AND MANUALLY TURNING THE KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK HAD NO EFFECT ON THE MECHANISM. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR WAS BY ENTERING THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE. UPON OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE BY USE OF THE DOOR HANDLE THE HANDLE BECAME STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION AND HAD TO BE PUSHED BACK TO ITS DEFAULT SETTING. THE LOCK MAKES A VERY LOUD "PANG" NOISE NOW WHEN LOCKING AS IF METAL ON METAL CONTACT IS BEING MADE. *TR
