Consumer Description

AUTO LOCK ISSUE. AT 118,000 MILES MY AUTO LOCKS STARTED TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN I TRIED TO UNLOCKED THEM, ESSENTIALLY TRAPPING ME IN THE VEHICLE. AS SOON AS I CLICK UNLOCK THEY IMMEDIATELY RELOOK. IF THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE IN NEED OF A RECALL I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. I'VE LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM ON OTHER FORUMS AND IT SEEMS QUITE COMMON. YIKES! PLEASE GET THIS RECALL DONE!
