Problem with driver's side lock - Toyota Yaris Forums

maryinredding · 01-05-2009, 05:42 AM

Has anyone had a problem with their locks on the hatchback? We had an extreme freeze here in Redding about a week ago and now the driver's side lock sticks. You put the key in and it will not turn right away. You have to jiggle the key a little and then it will engage. It's going into Toyota tomorrow morning for that and a change on the windshield wiper in the rear.

Same thing happened to me in Truckee with the trunk lock. Seemed to cure itself after it warmed up.
