Consumer Description

THE DRIVER'S DOOR ON MY 2004 MAZDA 6 WILL NOT OPEN. THIS CAR HAS ELECTRIC LOCKS. ALL DOORS OPEN EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE LATCH WAS BAD AND IT WILL COST $400 TO REPAIR. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. IF I AM IN A WRECK, I CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT. THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO MANUALLY DISENGAGE THE LOCKING MECHANISM IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND ENGINEERING DEFECT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. *TR
