Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT OF MY 2005 DODGE 2500 TRUCK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. THE LOCK ASSEMBLY ON THE TRUCK BECAME NON-OPERATIONAL WITH THE KEY AND DOOR HANDLE. EVEN WITH A SPARE KEY, IT WAS USELESS. I HAD TO CALL MY WIFE TO BRING ME THE EXTRA FOB ( ELECTRONIC DOOR OPENER) TO GET IN THE TRUCK. A CONTRIBUTING FACT WAS THAT THERE WAS NOT A LOCK ON THE PASSENGER HANDLE. MY QUESTION IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE VEHICLE WAS A STANDARD MODEL WITHOUT A FOB? THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. BY THE WAY, MY DEALER WAS VERY HELPFUL. BUT WHAT ABOUT OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING. *NM
