Consumer Description

DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING, COULDN'T GET IN OR OUT OF CAR OR OPEN THE GAS DOOR. REPLACED FUSE #57 AND NOW 3 OF 4 LOCKS ARE WORKING. AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE CARS AND IT IS UNSAFE AS I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY. IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SO COMMON THAT IT WOULD WARRANT A RECALL. *JS
