Did I miss something here?

I was thinking the same thing.....

getakey

you guys must not have owned a 2G RL

Treblig

Actually, I did have a 2006 RL, and now I recall what you're referring to. Mike_TX, there was a problem with the touch lock/unlock door handles when then got wet (like after a car washing). I had to have both the driver and passenger handles replaced.

Yup, the infamous high-pressure water-mediated transient lock failure.

Good that it's gone.

getakey

did not even have to be high pressure
hand wash door handle and it went nuts

Mike_TX

Actually, I DID have a 2006 RL, but I never had that problem.

I think I do recall some discussion of it now, though.

maybe you never washed your car with the fob in your pocket

Mike_TX

No, the fob is ALWAYS in my pocket. lol.

But to be honest, my dealer provides complimentary car washes and they did most of them.

Still, I think I recall that was an issue that afflicted only some of the RL's.
