Ok this thread is similar to my "locked in my car thread" soo anyways... Last night at work again, same scenario but this time I've put a coat of wax on her this time ok... I get in my car go to back up and the door won't close .. Like the mechanics won't engage not to mention my door release is feeling loose again ...Security even witnessed my prediciment too soo I'm not having a blonde moment ok... Again my drivers side door would not close soo I could drive my car home, but yes it did eventually work!!!

I'm thinking I may have to carry some duct tape with me just in case and thankfully I wear my seat belt!! I sure as hell hope my door doesn't pop open while I'm driving or GM's gonna hear from me

I love the car but this little problem **** is getting on my nerves.. and I'm even thinking I may have bought a lemon with all the problems I'm having, however small they may be but damn its only got 10,000k on it!!!!! I treat this car better then myself damnit

And please people !Don't highjack my thread ok!

 

birng it intot he dealer and get them to chek and replace whatever has to be

 

bring it to the dealer i had my door lock on me and it wouldnt shut. if u look when it won't shut in the part that connects to hold the door, u can see the lock isn't pushed up u can move it with ur finger and then the door will shut, bring it to the dealer they will fix the lock



they fixed it under warrenty

 

Have you ever taken the interior trim panel off? The inside handle is connected with a cable that could be routed wrong and it is maybe binding. I am sure the dealer will fix it for you.

It's dealer time!

 

One more issue and it will be going in!!!! And ya I know I shouldn't even wait that long but I know some new cars have new car pains and quarks soo I won't panic yet... Just as long as the floor dont fall out from under me and the wheels stay on I'll be patient..

 

ya i was patient til i got locked in. bring it back before it happens at a time u cant afford to be locked in or out ur car. it took them a day to fix it and with the door open probably less. they had to fix mine without the door open. must of been a pain in the ass but the dealership is a pain in the ass.

 

Our 2005 Cobalt SS/SC is sitting in the Dealership right now for the FOURTH time for this EXACT same problem. So far they think it is our Imagination and can't find anything wrong. Sometimes the door will not open (like the electronics arent engaging). Other times the door will not shut, It just pops back open like the latch will not engage. We found that if we cycle the power locks several times, it sometimes "fixs" it at least temporarily. I'll update what I find out from the dealer IF they ever fix this problem!

 

had a similar problem with my 99 cavalier. u have to take a screw driver and press on a piece where it clicks to the car to lock. hard to explain but if they show u it then its easy lol

 

my mazda used to do that all the time where for sum reason the metal clamper things would be in closed position while the door was open. i just had to use a screw driver to push the thing back up into the open position.

ne way not sure if thats your problem but good luck

 

thats stupid, i hope they fic your problem, i havent had a prob like that with my car yet

ooops, sorry for the double post, my internet fucked up

 

For this problem in particular have you checked the latching mechanism to make sure there isn't any gunk build-up in there or check if it's too tight and in need of oiling? I had this happen on my old car and it was because it wasn't rocking like it should have been when you shut the door and I had to clean it up and re-lubricate it so it would engage when hitting the door latch. I'm assuming you have but just thought I'd offer a suggestion of somethin' to maybe try .

 

I have the same problem with mine now. I just bought the car yesterday. Oh well, I guess I'll go to the dealer. Do they give you a courtesy car usually when you bring it to the dealer?

Thanks

 

isnt there a TSB about this issue?
