Consumer Description

WHEN IT IS EITHER HUMID OR RAINY, DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK FROM THE INSIDE. WHEN I PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON, IT ELECTRONICALLY SWITCHES BETWEEN LOCK AND UNLOCK SEVERAL TIMES. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE DOOR OPEN IS TO HOLD IT DOWN THE BUTTON IN UNLOCK MODE, UNROLL THE WINDOW AND THEN I HAVE TO OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THIS HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE YET, BUT I FEAR THAT IT COULD BECOME ONE IF IT GETS ANY WORSE OR IF I EVER HAD TO GET OUT OF MY CAR QUICKLY. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE DOOR LATCH TWICE, WHICH HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON RESOLVING THE ISSUE AND I WILL BE RETURNING TO THEM TOMORROW FOR A THIRD TRIP TO RESOLVE THIS. *TR
