| Description of the problem | Driver side outside door handle would get jammed in the open position. The interior lights would be on, which was noticeable if it was dark outside. But if it was bright and sunny it was easy to miss. The door appears to be closed, but it was not. A few times i started driving with this condition, and the driver side door flew open when i turned! You would have to stop the car, and get out and push the outside handle back to its normal position for the door to stay shut. I took it to the dealer, and they just squirted some lubrication into the handle. This seems like a short term fix, and it could start happening again. *ak |
