Has anyone have trouble with driver side door lock? from time to time it wont lock or open with the key on my 06 AVEO5 .

The only problem I had with my driver's side lock is this: It quit working from the outside. I could get it from the inside. I had to open the door panel and found a nut fell off the arm from the outside door lock. What a pain in the a$$. I had manual locks in a 2006 SVP Hatch.

I prefer manual locks, which is why I am happy with my 06 SVP.

Is there a way to get rid of this safety lock? would much prefer to lock the car from the inside then close it. Its a pain in the butt with two kids to have to still have the keys in your hand once you are outside the car.

I lock it that way in my 09?

Yeah, it's not that big of deal but I don't like not having a hand on my 2 year old in a walmart parking lot and I figured if it is as easy as two screws or something I would do it.

I believe there is a how to on this. All you have to do is cut a little piece of the mecanism... IIRC.
