Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2005 FORD FREESTAR IN 2005. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUYING IT WE HAD INSTANCES OF THE POWER LOCKS NOT WORKING. THE DRIVER DOOR WILL UNLOCK BUT THE REST WILL NOT. WE HAVE EVEN HAD TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE DRIVER DOOR TO UNLOCK THE BACK DOORS BY HAND THEN TRY TO GET GROCERIES OUT OF THE WAY BACK THROUGH THE MIDDLE DOORS. THIS IS ALSO A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND BE INCAPACITATED AND MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO OPEN THOSE DOORS BECAUSE IT KEEPS THEM LOCKED EVEN IF YOU PUSH THE BUTTONS TO OPEN THEM AUTOMATICALLY. I AM SICK OF DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE SO MANY FORUMS ON LINE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! *TR
