problem #1

Apr 012006

Cooper S 1.6L 4

  • Manual transmission
  • 30,000 miles

Interior door handle won't open door. This is because the cable end slips out of the door latch mechanism with use. About every 6 months to a year, have to disassemble door and reseat cable. This seems to be a design issue, as discussion boards see this complaint a lot. Cheaper to reseat than buy new latch/lock mechanism, which would have same design flaw.
