5 - Exterior Key Lock


When I was unable to open the door from either side, I could look through the gap in the window frame and see the problem was the door wouldn't unlock - not with the key, the knob or electric. It just wasn't turning / releasing and I could see the difference between the driver's and the working passenger's side.

If the plastic rod holder is damaged; the rod falls off.
A lot of owners have experienced this.
cheap repair but the panel has to come off.
The outside handle rod and the inside handle rods to both fall off at the same time?
