2005 4Runner SR5 door lock malfunction
Got my new 2005 4runner SR5 v6 w/ 3rd row seat 2 weeks ago.
No keyhole / lock on the passenger side. Fine. I suppose that's
the way it is.
But, the lock on the driver side works only 50%. It only unlocks
with key but can't lock the car. The key simply won't turn counter
clockwise. All 3 keys were tried. And yes, I can use the remote
and no, I can't remember the last time I'd to use a key to _lock_
a car if it comes w/ remote. Actually the day they showed me
the vechile before I bought it, the saleman had trouble opening
it - he managed to open it after applying some deicer (remote
control was inside the truck at the time). The next day I picked
up the vehicle, they said the lock was frozen again and if it didn't
fix after warming up in a garage, I should bring it back. I tried the
try to _unlock_ the car 2 or 3 days after delivery and it worked
(didn't test _lock_ with key till today to know it isn't working).
Well, it's a new car and I expect it to work, even something I may
not use ;-) Guess I'll have to take it in for warranty service.
Also today I tried to open the hood cover. Pulled the hood release
inside the car and went out to open it. As usual, I pressed the
little switch to _unhook_ the hood before I can lift it. Guess what -
the little pin connecting the switch and the hook came off from the
shealth/housing - I'd to slide my hand in to manually unhook it
before lifting it and reconnect the pin back to the push_switch
on the hood. What a shaky piece of junk!
Is it just me or what? In all fairness, I am satisfied with the truck
overall - drives well and make me feel safe. It's this little things
here and there that are annoying. On the other hand, I've had an
Honda Odyssey for almost a year and have had no complaints. It's
not that I want to start a flame here or anything.
Thanks. -tcpoob
