The Ford Transit does not have a widespread issue with side door locks, but there have been reported problems in the past. One common reason for malfunctioning door locks is a faulty door lock actuator, which can prevent the door from unlocking properly. Another issue can occur with the locking mechanism itself, typically caused by damage or misalignment. If this happens, you may need to replace the lock, especially if the door has been repeatedly slammed, as this can damage the latching and locking components.
One issue frequently seen with the sliding door lock on the 2011 Ford Transit is that it fails to properly engage, leading to a situation where the lock must be substituted.
