Consumer Description

THE CAR FAILS TO UNLOCK WHEN USING THE CENTRAL BUTTON IN THE CAR OR THE HAND HELD DEVICE. ONLY THE DRIVER DOOR CAN BE OPENED MECHANICALLY AND THE LOCKS ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE TO PULL UP ON THE OTHER 3 DOORS. MY CHILDREN HAD TO CLIMB OUT THE DRIVERS DOOR OR WINDOWS. RESEARCH ON THE WEB IS INDICATING A BAD FUSE CAN CAUSE THIS OR ACTUATORS IN THE DOORS. SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IF EVERYONE CAN'T EXIT THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY BECAUSE OF A BLOWN FUSE? *TR
