| Description of the problem | Occasionally, the vehicle will not lock when i use the fob or use the drivers manual locking switch on the door. This is happening when i exit the vehicle. I hit the fob lock button and the car beeps once, but the front drivers door does not lock, and the door lock does not move to a locking position, it stays in the unlocked position. When i hit the lock button on the fob, the car beeps 8 times and still does not lock. In order to lock the car, i have to enter the front passenger door and manually lock the front drivers door. The problem occurs about once per week. It started about a year ago. |
