Condition
Some customers may comment that the front door lock will not unlock or will lock intermittently.
Cause
This condition may be due to internal friction within the door lock mechanism at the rivet (2) which attaches the door external handle lever to the lock base. The lever is returned to the rest position by the return (or torsion) spring (1). The door lock will not release unless the lever returns fully to the rest position.
Correction
Install a new door lock assembly. Refer to Lock Replacement-Door (SI Document ID #1340736).
