Door Lock Not Working with Key?

[killian]

Anyone else experience this?

Yup, It was one of the first few posts that I made after getting my H3 almost a year ago, it's happened to me twice now.

The lock linkage on the H3 is cable, unlike conventional metal lock rods. I found that if someone slams the door a little too hard the cable will pop out of one of the clips that holds it in place. When that happens your key will turn in the lock but it won't unlock the door.

It's an easy fix, pull the panel, snap the cable back in place and you're good to go but, hey, that's what a warranty is for.

Just a heads up: make sure that the dealership puts the door panel back on correctly.
