problem #2

2006Jun 01

Element ES 4cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles

The door lock on the drivers side stopped working. Sometimes I'd have to open the passenger door and crawl through. I mentioned it when it would go in for service, and they'd "grease" it and it would work for a day or two. They also acknowledged that others had this problem, however if I wanted it fixed, I'd have to pay because it's not an official recall.

I already replaced driver door entry because key no longer fit. This is a pain. Now cannot open passenger door with key and it is difficult to get key into ignition. Have problems with all 4 keys.
