Consumer Description

DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK HAS BROKEN AT AROUND 83,000 MILES. I WAS HAVING TO UNLOCK AND GO THROUGH PASSENGER'S DOOR. NOW AT 150,000 MILES THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK HAS BROKEN. DOOR LOCKS SHOULD NEVER BREAK AND NOW I FACE EITHER CLIMBING THROUGH THE BACK OF THE CAR OR LEAVING IT UNLOCKED, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.
