Recall notice

I got the letter for the recall. I never had a problem with sticking door buttons. I’ll probably complete the recall when the parts are available. The thought of a door opening while driving is terrifying.
Mine did not stick for six months and progressively started. It is fairly easy to “unstick” but if you miss it and don’t see the warning light, the door will fly open. I know from experience. 😳
 
The dash panels are easily removed to gain access to the tumbler. I had no issues with my door knobs before the recall and I have no issues with the door knobs after the replacement. My key still turns, the grenny still starts, the wheels still go round and round

Thanks for keeping it real… worse things can happen to our knobs and buttons as things age right? :oops:

Yes, I've also had a passenger door fly open on a turn because of this. The door can give its pleasing -thunk- closed sound yet still fail to latch if the button sticks.

Anyways, I had the dealer "fix" this twice in the past six months. But all four side door buttons still stick semi-regularly. The fixes were useless.

So I'm happy to receive my recall notice in the mail and let them do something more intense. Nice idea and nice form, but bad implementation by Magna/Ineos.
 
I noticed a couple of mine were sticking today (2024 vehicle but new to me). Quick squirt of lubricant in the lock and push the button a few times while open, and they now seem fine. New locks seem like overkill?

It’s a flaw. You shouldn’t have to spray the door handles on your brand new $90k vehicle with lubricant every 3 months. I get that works and I was doing that until an incident with my daughter. I shouldn’t have had to yell at a 6yr to hold onto the inside door handle from her booster seat to keep it closed til I could find a safe place to pull over., which was a problem because I didn’t become aware of this until I was entering a roundabout because the sensor was not showing it open and we couldn’t tel going 5mph in bumper to bumper school traffic until we got to the roundabout. I know enough to notice when the buttons were sticking but the 5th grade safety patrol at school doesn’t (funny enough, they get confused the by button all the time and try to just pull it without pressing the button weekly)

I got mine replaced a few weeks ago.

Sounds scary!

I was spraying the lock, but it might not last long either.
 
Mine have been replaced - all of the locks under warranty / recall - about a month ago. The drivers one had been sticking intermittently ever since new despite two fixes applied by agent. Now it’s replaced and appears to be fixed. Fingers crossed.
