Consumer Description

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. BOTH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE DO NOT WORK. FOR 2 DAYS, I HAD TO CLIMB OUT OF THE PASSENGER DOOR. AFTER 2 DAYS, I UNLOCKED MY DOOR AND HEARD A POPPING SOUND FROM THE DOOR. WHATEVER IS JAMMING UP FINALLY RELEASED. IT'S A SAFETY DANGER BECAUSE OF THE RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER/OCCUPANTS COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED 2 SEPARATE TIMES, BOTH LASTING FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS. *TR
