door lock actuators

[Bradley G]

My first inclination that one of the lock actuators was faulty, dates back a very long time.
They operated without fail but once in long while, there was a wierd sound that they(1) would make.
Sounded like a short curcuit.
Yesterday 5 am, near 0*, I had to use my key, It was the drivers door.
Probably the only time that lock, ever saw a key.

The one in my drivers door acted up the first year of ownership. It was an intermittent issue ... might have made a funky grinding noise once every 25-30x you got in/out of the car using the remote.

Replaced under warranty - was fine for (6) months & started doing the same thing again(still intermittent). I figured I'd let it go if it gets no worse & replace it at the end of month 35 under the bumper to bumper warranty.

Think I heard the rear drivers door do it once too.

Good luck getting the dealer to replace it again if they cannot repeat the problem.

I am in the same boat. Lock completely failed one day after acting up for many months. It has been acting up again but only around once per month. I know better than to even bother going to the dealer until it fully fails again (if I am still under warranty.)

Mine makes that noise often and sometimes the front passenger's door doesn't unlock the first try.....Wonder what causes this??:confused:

Same here it's the right front door(passenger). My wife thinks I lock her out on purpose sometimes.:P

My driver'd side door lock is tempermental. I'm gonna wait to build up a long list of stuff to do for one deductible.
