Consumer Description

THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY CAR FAILED RESULTING IN NOT BEING ABLE TO UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB. I CAN UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WITH THE VALET KEY. NONE OF THE OTHER DOORS CAN BE UNLOCKED AND CAN NOT EVEN BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE HEAT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RECENTLY SOMEONE GETTING LOCKED INSIDE THEIR CAR COULD BE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT ANY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET OUT BECAUSE THE DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTIONED. *TR
