Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 VOLKSWAGEN GL 1.8 T, WHEN I PRESS THE LOCK BUTTON, THE CAR DOORS DO NOT ALL LOCK, OR WILL WORK SOMETIMES, I ALSO AM NOT ABLE TO GET INTO THE TRUNK. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS MORE THEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, IN ORDER TO GET THE TRUNK OPEN I HAVE TO CRAWL THROUGH SPACE AND PULL THE EMERGENCY LEVER INSIDE THE TRUNK, IN ORDER TO LOCK THE CAR I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH DOWN THE LOCKS WHEN THE KEY DOESN'T WORK AND 40 % OF THE TIME I OR A PASSENGER GETS LOCKED IN THE CAR, UNTIL IT DECIDES TO GIVE. *TR
