Consumer Description

I WAS IN TOWN WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD BABY AND MY DOOR HANDLE MESSED UP. I HAD PARKED, AND EXITED THE CAR AND WENT AROUND TO PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR TO OPEN THE DOOR AND GET MY SON BUT THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. I LOCKED AND UNLOCKED THE CAR DOOR AND IT WAS STILL STUCK. IT WAS AS THOUGH THE DOOR HANDLE WASN'T LATCHED TO ANYTHING. IT WAS JUST THERE, IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I BEAT AND BANG ON THE DOOR FOR ALMOST AN HOUR UNTIL THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FINALLY OPENED. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STILL WON'T OPEN, INSIDE OR OUT. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE READ OF MANY OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. MY CHILD WHO IS ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD WAS SCREAMING AND I COULDN'T GET TO HIM. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY TRAGIC HAD IT BEEN HOT OUTSIDE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!! *TR
