In my case button unlocks trouble I have is that pulling the handle does nothing. Happens more often when it's hot outside. It's less of a problem when parked in a cold garage.


SwissArmy does that sound familiar? If so, I'll get the car to shop and ask them to do what they did on yours.

Thanks ahead guys for your replies.
Hey globbs. What are the odds! My driver side bowden cable finally snapped yesterday. I took off the passenger side and put it on the driver side.

I just got home from the dealership with two new bowden cables.

Yes, when it's hot it sticks. That's how it started for me, and I got a shop to tie the cable away. But, as I have learned, it just means your cable is about to fail.

I recommend changing the cable on both the driver side and passenger side. It's super duper simple
