#701725December 30, 1998
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
POWER DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. OCCUPANTS WERE TRAPPED INSIDE AND HAD TO REQUEST ASSISTANCE FROM SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE TO OPEN THE DOOR IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. POWER WINDOWS COULD BE LOWERED TO PASS IGNITION KEY TO SOMEONE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHILE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. THIS OCCURED ON 4 SEPERATE OCCASIONS. DEALER FIRST REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR (PART # 80551-38E00) REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, AFTER THIS WAS REPLACED, THE DOORS ONCE AGAIN FAILEDD TO OPEN FOR THE FOURTH TIME. DEALER THEN DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A DEFECTIVE LOCK CYLENDER AID CLIP ( PART # 80552-34A00 --HOLDER--AND PART # 80534-34A05--PLATE--L) NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THESE INCIDENTS WERE SIMILAR TO REPORT ODI ID 904944 REPORTED ON 20 MAR 91.
