Over the past few days, when i go to get out of my car after i turn it off, the door wont open. The handle just moved loosely like its broken, from the inside and outside. But if i lock it then unlock, i hear a wierd metal cling by the handle and it works fine again.

Also if it does that when the door is open, then the door will not close shut until i lock, then unlock it again.

It doesnt always do this, every 2nd time i go to get out of the car and it just started a few days ago

 

My wifes car did it. Warranty covered a new latch

 

no warranty for me... grr

 

Well now you know whats wrong atleast lol

 

happend to me three times in four years, there is a how to on fixing this. myself i never fixed it, always used my key FOB; hit lock and unlock and it fixed itself...

 

Dude... hate to say it but search would answer this. VERY common problem. the latch gets stuck. It just needs some grease and you are all set. You shouldn't even need a warranty to fix it, its such a common mistake and such a simple fix that the dealer should do it for you free of charge.

 

pull off the door panel and grease it or just spray grease through?

 

i couldnt find any write ups on this fix. Where am i spraying it. Do i need to pull the door panel off to spray in somewhere. I have sprayed into the latch outside the door and it still does it

 

probably gonna have to fork over the money for a new latch unfortunately

lubing and working the latch may help your issue, but it's temporary

I just replaced mine a few thousand miles ago
