Consumer Description

THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS ON THE CAR WILL OFTEN OPEN ONLY HALFWAY, PREVENTING THE OCCUPANT FROM EXITING THE VEHICLE. BOTH FRONT DOORS ARE AFFECTED, BUT THE DRIVERS DOOR IS AFFECTED MORE OFTEN. IT IS DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. REPEATING THE UNLOCK PROCESS SEVERAL TIMES IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE LOCK TO OPEN. THIS WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, BUT THEY TOLD US THAT THE LOCKS WERE WORKING FINE WHEN THEY HAD IT AND THAT THEY COULD NOT WORK ON IT UNLESS THEY SAW THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY OCCURRING. I KEEP A WINDOW HAMMER IN THE CAR NOW. *TR
