Door lock problems?
Anyone else experience a problem with their door locks? When mine auto lock or I use the key fob to lock the vehicle the passenger rear door makes a loud clicking noise ( several times) and the door does not lock.
Dealer will fix on Monday but I'm curious to hear if anyone else has had this problem.

Any updates on this problem? This exact same thing started happening to my 2dr 2010 just last week. I'm taking mine to the dealer later this week, but still curious.

My door lock problems are different. I keep locking my keys inside. I know one day I will have her all sealed up and be screwed....not in a good way.
I often leave the keys in the ignition when I jump out to get the mail or what not. I tried shutting off the auto lock and everytime I think I have it...it reverts.
Sigh.

I Fixed It?
Well,
Last weekend I finally got around to looking into the lock problems.
I took the plastic cover off of the interior of the door hoping that I could find a loose connection or a binding somewhere.
The cable that connects the lock latch on the inside to the locking mechanism is run behind another panel. I couldn't find anything that was obviously wrong, so I hit the remote lock to see if that would give me any ideas as to where to look.
And to my surprise...it WORKED
. I have no idea why it did, I didn't change anything, but it works.
I put the cover back on, and it's been working every time for the past few days. I'm not complaining, it took a whole 5 min and didn't cost me anything, but I would still like to know what caused the malfunction in the first place.
