Door Locking/unlocking issues?

Tatania · 07-24-2006, 11:14 PM

Have had mine for about 4 days now. LOVE IT!

I really love the smart key function. Well today I go out to my car and hear the beep of "hello I recognize you"...but when I pull on the door handle the door won't open. Ok fine...so whip out the fob and hit the unlock..door still won't open. Make sure I unlock all doors and sure enough I can now open the rear door and hatchback, but still cannot open the driver side door. I whip the physical key and make sure the door is unlocked which it was. This time I yank on the door and it opens like it was stuck. There was nothing in the door like a seatbelt or anything that would wedge it.

Has anyone else experienced this? I figure I'll watch it and see, but thought I might ask here to see if this is a 'known' glitch.

Thanks

It does not happen on mine. Perhaps you should get it checked?

No, this is not right...you need to get it checked out.

I have been having the same problem for a few days.. Actually I left my key(FO

on the handle inside the door where the window controls are and I got lock oouut!! But luckly the door reopen again by touching the handle.

I had several times to take the emergecy key and open it manually. Also I press the lock button on the FOB and the car doesnt do anything. I am pretty annoyed...

I have a new Prius 06 #8 (Fully loaded)

Has anyone else been having this problem?? Any Solutions?

Marcovi, I was having similar problems only..sheepishly someone discovered that my long beep and inability to lock my car door was due to the hatch being open! Duh. Sorry wish I could be more help.
