NHTSA Complaint #10185321 — 2007 INFINITI M

INFINITI M45 - 2007. WHEN THE DOORS ARE LOCKED, YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS WITH THE HANDLE, UNLESS YOU PHYSICALLY UNLOCK THE DOORS FIRST. I BELIEVE IN AN EMERGENCY, AN OCCUPANT IN THE CAR COULD PANIC AND NOT GET OUT. THEY WOULD BELIEVE THEY ARE TRAPPED IN THE CAR. THE CAR DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO GEAR OR START THE CAR, LIKE MOST OTHER MAKES. THIS POTENTIALLY COULD LEAD TO THIS VEHICLE BEING CARJACKED MORE THAN OTHERS, SINCE MANY PEOPLE FORGET TO LOCK THEIR DOORS.
