I too have this problem with my previous Sunny 4yr old. Sometimes the driver lock can lock when using remote sometimes cannot. Worst thing is it locked but wun open when you want it to open and you have to open it from passenger side.

I got one case exactly opposite..car door cannot close..

 

gotta drive back with one hand holding to the door..many drivers honked at me..asking me to close my door!

 

Thankfully it was only a short distance..and managed to fix it when I got home..

 

Sigh, my car lock suddenly jammed!! Unable to open from the driver side!

Need to crawl out from the passenger side. Lucky nobody see. So Sia Suay!

 

Sigh.... anyone experience before? Is it easy to repair?

Consider urself lucky!! I drove my bro's ride once, it was a Alfa Romeo 75 hatchback. I didn't noe how the alarm system works so I was standing at the rear of the car with the bootlid up and all 4 doors shut waiting for my mom with the groceries when suddenly the doors locked by itself and the key was in the ignition!! I was in JB then!! It was fortunate that the bootlid was opened and I had no choice but to climb thru the rear hatch!! Everyone was watching me then with an SG (Stupid Guy in dis case [laugh] ) car with "special" entrance presumably! [shakehead]

Sorry for bringing up an old post and hijacking this thread as I do not have permission to start a new topic.

 

My latio front passenger door was stuck. Couldn't open it from inside/outside. Turn out that the cable broke and I had to replace the entire door lock assembly. Cost me $190 exclude labour. After replacement, though its now working, I have more problem.

 

The auto locking mechanism for the other 3 door fails to work properly. But if I use my remote key to lock/unlock, it's fine. Using control panel at the driver door, it doesn't lock/unlock the other 3 doors. I can feel the inside motor nudging a little and seems like there's not enough power to activate the locking mechanism.

 

The weirdest thing is, if I leave it for a few minutes during the driving, the problem will go away. But if I lock/unlock a few times, the problem comes back again.

 

Any thoughts?

where did you install the new lock? go back to the shop and ask them why.

They also cannot figure it out....

 

Tell me my door lock motor for the other 3 doors spoil also... But how can it be so coincident that after I replace new lock the other 3 spoil at the same time?

 

In the end, I gave up told them I go seek second opinion as don't wanna waste time with them cos I know they also cannot offer me a good explanation anyway.

what happened ... someone locked the baby in the car and walked away?

 

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/this-urban-jungle/scdf-rush-to-resuce-baby-stuck-in-car-for-almost-20-minutes-at-pasir-ris#xtor=CS2-4

 

Stomper Rykal spotted the SCDF trying to rescue a baby stuck in a vehicle parked at Block 537, Pasir Ris Street 51 today (Oct 11).

According to the Stomper, the child who looked to be a few months old was stuck in the black vehicle for about 20 minutes.

In a phone interview with Stomp, he said:

"They took about five to ten minutes to rescue the baby stuck inside.

"The child's parents' were also nearby, I think it's father was standing there.

"I also saw a man come forward to help, but he wasn't a passerby, I think he was a locksmith as he came with a key."

He added that the ambulance as well the police were at the scene.

If you see properly, the baby trolley is outside. I suspect the parent may had go to the car boots to take the baby trolley and prepared to carry the baby out after the trolley is ready.

But he may had accidentally lock the car with the key still inside.

Did anyone ever experience not able to open the car door due to signal interference from nearby building?

 
Twice (within 2 weeks), I parked same stretch of lot at Blk 31 Kelantan Road, MSCP (DSC Clinic). 
Facing Kim Hoe Centre, Ah Boy bike shop (along Kelantan Lane)
 
The car remote not able to sense the signal from the vehicle (remote kept on blinking red light).
At first, I thot the remote battery low (But I just changed  1-2 weeks ago).
 
Walk to Mustafa, bought a new battery for the remote. Still cannot open.
Have to use the car key (in the remote) to unlock the door.
Took me about 8 tries (to start engine) for the remote to sense the car system signal.
