Re: Door locks out of sync - ideas? V70-XC70 2001

Ian-

There is a bulletin on the lock knobs sticking in the bushing in the door panel under certain temperature-related conditions, but this sounds like it happens all the time on your car. The earlier X70s (98-00) had a 'weak link' in the power lock system. If the outer door handle was activated while the power lock operated, it broke a tab in the lock/latch assembly. I've changed about a hundred of the latches for this problem, but not a single one on a '01 model. The symptom for the earlier cars was the door would lock with the remote, but not unlock. You could manually pull the button up and get the door open. Regardless, take it to the dealer and have it fixed since it is covered by the new car warranty.
