ok, i just got home from picking up my car from my uncles garage. $750 bill! IN PARTS!!!
it was rediculus, he showed my the **** too and it was really all bad. leaky water pump all worn out belts including timing belt ready to snap, broken brake cables..the list goes on. so i figure ok, i pay the 800 now and ill be ok for a while. NO, theres still more he didnt fix. broken ball joints, bald tires plus inspection is up.AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHH. so now i finally get home after sitting in pittsburgh traffic for 1.5hrs. lock my door. then i realized i forgot something. unlock the door. NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO you cant ****ing unlock it. i can not open the drivers side door. the door lock pops up then goes back down. What THE **** IS going on with this. i think im gonna take the car out back and shoot it lake a lame horse and put it out of its missery. any one know how i can fix this damn door problem?

 

Well what do you expect? Timing belts and water pumps are normal maintance items. Worn brake cables and broken door lock parts are pretty normal for ANY 10 YEAR OLD CAR. If you have a car w/ some miles on it, you have to budget for the maintance items. Put it this way, if you have the money to spend on all the mods, then you should not complain when you have to do the NORMAL SCHEDULED maintance items.

 

mine will do the same thing sometimes, unlock, then immediately go back down the second i turn the key back to its original locaktion.. if it does thins, just hold it in the unlock position long enough to grab the handle and open the door..

 

This must be a northern thing cuz I have never had problems with my doors locking up or whateva is happening to u guys. I remember living up north and hearing weird stuff like that happen to cars, but hell I moved to Florida before I purchased my car. The only problem down here is cleaning sand off tires n rims.. I say, move to Florida guys
As for the other stuff, listen to Jeff92SE's advice.

 

hey. let me vent!

 

Hey now.. i dont live up north... i live right on the line of Tennessee/georgia.. so not funny.. lol... so i still live in the south..

 

Does it snow where u live Custmmax? Cuz if it does u fall into the up north category....haha No matta if its considered the south... messing wit ya...lol

 

That would depend... it HAS before, but it didnt this last winter.. lol.. funny concept though... butim almost glad im not considered "up north" what part of florida you live in? I will be near Daytona in a month and a half in a place called "new Smyrna"

 

Ok, I live in sunny Anaheim, California where zero snow ever falls. My locks do the same thing sometimes

 

CustmMax,
Im located in the Tampa Bay area,west coast of Florida. I have no clue about that place u mentioned though.

 

I learned to live with it, just jerk the key back and forth a few times until it the button pops up and stays that way for a few seconds so u have enough time to open the door.. Or as I feel it dropping back down I just turn the key a little harder and keep it in that position, the button will usually bounce around a few times and stay up. Not a big deal, however, the rest of the things with your car, I kind of feel the same way about mine, it eats fuel like crazy and I can't determine the ****ing problem, plus my suspension is starting to have problems, I'm just over 100k miles.

 

just wait till yougo to get it checked out. i thought my car was fine. i just brought it to him to change the timing belt then he found all these other problems that i never noticed before.
