problem #1

Jul 052011

Element EX 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 98,000 miles

I've had this go out twice now driver side and the second time yet to be replaced. Once in 2011 and once now in 2019.

It is especially difficult because when the power door lock's go out.. the lock won't go down when you're in the car and then the key sticks in the lock from the outside so it takes a long time to lock and unlock the car.

A new actuator is in order but the dealer wants 400. Its a 50 dollar part.
