Well... just like on everyone else's MKV, my door locks are acting up.
Symptoms started with the car not knowing if the front driver's side door is open or not. The car thought it was always closed. This wasn't a huge problem since really the only side effect is the dome light never turned on.
Now more symptoms are showing up. Sometimes when i lock the car, it won't honk. Only 3 doors lock. The driver's side rear door does not. I can open it and when I do - all hell breaks loose because the alarm goes off.
If I open and close both drivers side doors a few times, it locks, no problem.
Odd though, that the alarm still arms, but no honk and one door remains unlocked......
Symptom # 3 has only shown it's ugly face twice. As I'm driving, the doors start locking / unlocking and the radio shuts off! Then it comes back on! WTF!
So I'm thinking either 1 actuator or 2 - both driver's side doors.
Symptom # 3 makes me think there' something else at play though. Any ideas?
I do notice every once in a while that it sounds like a small chipmunk is locked behind the trim piece at my knees when driving and he is knocking - trying to get out. This happens maybe once a week and lasts for 2-3 seconds.
