Sticking door handle button?

[anand]

For what it's worth, a solid blow from the palm of your hand works great to unstick the button. A block of wood and a mallet work great to adjust the "hole" alignment so the button doesn't come into contact with it

Is anyone else experiencing a sticking drivers door external door button which prevents the door from
Latching into the B post door latch? Spray grease temporarily sorts it but it’s back in a couple of days?

Yes..I have had three doors with this problem, front ,back and tailgate. You think you've shut the door and locked it when actually you have not..I now visually check and recheck . WD40 seems to work when sprayed into the door button circumference.

Yes! Just started to happen…..

Not confident the rubber/steel washer fix is the way to go, if it’s friction on the button then spraying WD40 will just prolong the wearing in cycle, maybe just keep on pushing the button to the side is just what is going to continue!

Mine went in today for software, floor mats, rear ladder, attention to the "boot wash" function, roof bars and rear picnic table, locking wheel nuts etc. They are aware of a recall on the sticky door knobs but don't have the replacement kits in stock to fix the problem. Will need to go back again to get this job done.

Mine happened on the drivers door yesterday evening. I walked back to the car to find out the car door was open, door knob stuck and the alarm wasn’t activated after doing some shopping . Good job nothing was missing.

Last time I spoke to my dealer I mentioned it it happens occasionally and because they couldn’t get it to happen on the day they basically said they will only repair if it’s always happening or stuck in permanently. (I get the impression it’s a full door strip down and they can’t be arsed). Why can’t they get the basics right? All that testing too!!!

Have the same problem on rear doors and boot door too.

Now using graphite style [ copperslip] grease weekly and so far so good.

The advantage of not having dirt roads in the UK!

Mine still stick in on all of the doors even though it was in for over a month. More worryingly there’s now an awful bang / clunk when the front and rear diff-lockers disengage,I can feel it through the drivers seat! My rear wash does not work either.
More concerning is that the excellent contact at Ineos who sorted was instrumental in my vehicles many rectifications, has not answered my emails?

Mine have been like it from new, 4 weeks now, although the drivers door and passenger door do appear to be " loosening" off with use.

Same with mine but silicone spray seems to do the trick for now.

I have one rear near side door that has started constantly sticking, repeatedly, regardless of graphite lube application.

I would imagine the "surround" needs to be adjusted... a piece of wood (timber for you folks) and a mallet will fix it in one or two blows.

Hopefully Grenadier will come up with a proper and substantial solution which will do a world of good to all owners and the brand. This problem exist without doors being exposed to rain or dirt and applying lubricant can not be a remedy. I am very happy with the car, it is hard to build a car without any problem for the first time. Hopefully other and main components of the car will remain as strong as they appear to be and will all have a chance to enjoy our cars the way we have imagined. I am going to dealer tomorrow but i do not expect much yet. And hopefully a software update will provide a chance to remove all the sounds/beeps/tik-tok,... last thing we need a car to tell us what we need to do or watch for or,.... cheers

See my solution a few posts up, we used it to "adjust" plenty of the doors on PTO2 vehicles with immediate results... Or, suggest it to your dealer as a solution if you'd prefer

Experienced my first stuck button today. Dim Mak poison death touch on the handle was the only way to dislodge it. Hoping for a software update fix soon.
