Front drivers side door latch either won't latch or latch then won't open
What is your question?
The little white teflon lever sometimes comes up to latch the lock shut & other times it doesn't. I've tried coating it with Slick 50 and played with it trying to loosen things up but no help.
What seems to make the problem better or worse? Everyday use
How long have you had this problem? Started a few months ago, been getting worse, now doesn't work.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2001 Subaru Forester. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
The latch itself may need to be replaced. This is best examined by a local technician near you so that what you are experiencing can be reviewed in person and the advice you get will be most valid.
