Default my 2001 2.7T sometimes requires 2 pulls on the handle...

feels like I'm in vegas at the slots or sumn.

First pull doesn't engage... 2nd pull works everytime. quirky... (no other known issues in that area as far as I can tell.. window and other buttons in an around on the door seem to work.

Default Mine goes into the shop for replacement tomorrow

I have more of a metal grind sound though. SA says it happens "frequently enough."

Default RU sure you didn't lock the door (eg. by resting elbow on door ledge)?

If you manually lock the door from the inside, the first pull of the lever unlocks the door and the second pull releases the catch &amp; opens it.

Default Great Question!!! Are we saying that 2 pulls is standard when door is locked?

I'll see if passengar has same behavior when locked and not locked.

I'll now pay attention to this and see if I was just being stupid or if there is actually sumn wrong..

Thanks!

Default yeah mine too, that's normal. what i was questioning is the fact that i have to pull the drivers si

de door a little harder then any other door on the car that's all.

not a big deal just was wondering if anyone else had the same experience.
