It appears to be a common fault as I think you have dicovered. I had the same problem yesterday with the addition of not being able to activate the alarm. A quick phone call to the dealer, took the car in at 2.45pm, drove away with new lock assembly fitted at 3.45pm. No charge,but car still under warranty. It is worrying that so many faults in modern cars are not DIY mechanical corrections but part of mistifying expensive computerised systems.

I have the same car and on occasion have had the same annoyance. It seems to be worse in cold weather?? I ussually move the inside latch back and forth a few times and I think this helps. I should take it in to get fixed but I suspect it's past warranty. Does anyone out there know how long the warranty covers something like that (and the lock assemblies on the other doors too)?

Let me know Dave (if you dono't mind) if you get this fixed under warranty.

Thanks,

Paul

I had the same problem and was able to "reset" the microswitch by pushing a flat object (ignition key would do) against it. To do it you have push the latch inside the housing to its locked position and then a little bit past that. The latch should touch the microwitch and reset it. I was able to do it several times until got annoyed and dealer replaced it under warranty (or was it a recall?).

Hope it helps.

There is a micro-switch within the latch assembly. Unfortunately, it is not serviceable seperately. You will have to replace the latch assy.
