Consumer Description

MY WIFE HAD HER COAT CAUGHT IN THE DOOR AFTER SHE EXITED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE AWAY. WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE, THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. SHE LOST HER BALANCE AND FELL, LOSING HER BALANCE, BROKE HER WRIST. SHE COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR BECAUSE IT WAS LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY.. THE CAR IS A 2009 SATURN AURA. THE MANUAL SAYS THAT AUTOMATIC LOCKING OF DOORS IS PROGRAMMED AND CAN'T BE CHANGED. THIS IS NOT SAFE!! SHE COULD HAVE BEEN THROWN UNDER THE CAR. *TR
