Consumer Description

BROKEN REAR DOOR HANDEL'S REAR DOORS WON'T OPEN FROM INSIDE. MY CHILDREN AND OTHER PASSENGERS ARE TRAPPED INSIDE UNTIL I GET OUT AND UNLOCK DOORS THEN OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE FOR THEM. COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD, IF WRECK OR SOMETHING HAPPENED TO FRONT DOORS AND WAS TRAPPED INSIDE I COULD NOT EXIT EXCEPT THRU REAR DOORS BUT.THEY DO NOT OPEN FROM.INSIDE POTENTIALLY MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE FIXED.
