Boosted10 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I have searched the board and haven't found the answer yet. My drivers door handle will not retract all the way back to the body when opening the door. The bigger problem is that when you lock the doors then unlock them you can not open the drivers door from the outside. The lock actuator appears to be working properly. Has anyone had this type of problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Sorry, this is the first I've heard of anyone having this problem. It sounds like maybe something the dealer should look at...hopefully you have an extended warranty. Good luck with the problem, keep us updated to what you find.

SHOnUup Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 My drivers door spit out the spring holding interior handles tension. Well, spit it down inside the door. Handle is sloppy but still functions, weird. Really hate removing the door panel, as they never seem to be as tight afterwards. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted10 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 No extended warranty so it looks like I get to pull the door panel. I know what you mean SHOnUup about the panel fitting tight. Maybe I will have the same luck with the MKS as I did with my daughters Acura TL. Took it off to replace a window regulator and everything went back into place and it's still tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmr061 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 The door panels come off fairly simple. There is a nice on line tutorial. I don't have the link handy do a google search though.

Boosted10 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I forgot to report that I fixed my faulty exterior door handle. After getting the door panel off and finding no obvious broken parts I realized the door handle link, metal rod, was not keeping pressure on the handle. I simply put a little more bend in the rod and reinstalled the handle, bingo! That took the extra slack out of the handle and I can now open my door without putting the windows down and opening it from the inside. tss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
