Hey All,

My Mini has a reoccuring problem with the driver door not opening. The latch does not open the door before several (20 or so) pulls. It's already been in the shop once about this, but a month later, it was back. Anyone else have the same problem?

Thanks, Jim :???:

No...but, I can't figure out why sometimes I pull once and the door opens, but other times it takes two times. Anyone know the answer to this??????????

It's probably the Auto Door lock feature. After the feature engages when you start driving and you then decide to get out, 2 pulls are required to open the door. One pull to unlock the door and a second pull to open the door.
