They will probably blame the door problem on your intake...

I would like to see the Tech Service Bulletin for that! "Do not fix doors under warranty that have an aftermarket intake since the increased air volume vibrates at a frequency which changes the cars moment of inertia and thus resonates at the same frequency as the electric door lock motor and disrupts its function. This problem seems to occur only when the car is off, on the driver side door, on Sundays as long as the temperature is below 35 degrees and it is partly cloudy, and the car is parked at an oblique angle on a 5% grade incline. This is completely the owner's fault and they should be sternly reprimanded."

Me and my brother swapped cars this week (just to change it up a little) and the drivers side door won't open. I'm freaking out, and I was babying his car too. Niether the outside door handle or the interior door handle won't do anything. Is this the same symptoms you had steddy2112? If so, could you tell me how to fix it?

Thanks!

The door would not open using indoor or outside handle would eventually unlock with remote on key..hopefully get car back in a few days and it will work though..have had a crappy courtosy car for a week now!
