Why Can't the Front Doors of the New Sylphy Be Opened from Inside or Outside?

If the front doors of the new Sylphy cannot be opened from inside or outside, first confirm whether the central locking system is not unlocked. Below are the reasons and solutions for the issue: Reasons why the front doors of the new Sylphy cannot be opened from inside or outside: First, check if the central locking system is not unlocked. Solutions: First, use the remote control to unlock the doors and ensure the central locking mechanism is in the unlocked state. If it's the driver's side door, try opening it with the key. If that doesn't work, roll down the window, pull both the inside and outside door handles simultaneously, and push the door outward with force! If the door still won't open, the lock mechanism might be jammed, or the linkage could be broken or bent. In such cases, the only solution is to visit a 4S shop or repair shop for servicing. If the vehicle is still under warranty, you can file a claim at the 4S shop. The warranty period for the new Sylphy is three years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
I've been driving the new Sylphy for over three years, and recently the doors won't open from either inside or outside. It's most likely that the door lock mechanism is jammed, which is common when driving in sandy or dusty areas where sand or debris can clog the lock cylinder. Rust on the door hinges could also be the culprit. I remember the last time I went to the 4S shop, the mechanic mentioned that frequent opening and closing of the door can wear out parts, causing the lock block spring to fail. During inspection, simply shake the handle and listen for any unusual sounds. If that doesn't work, you'll need to disassemble it for cleaning or replace the lock entirely. Make sure to rinse the door seams thoroughly when washing the car to prevent dust buildup—it's both convenient and safe. Having a door that won't open while driving is quite frightening, so don't delay. Visit a professional repair shop early to avoid disrupting your travel plans.
