Consumer Description

UNABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE ON DRIVER SIDE WHEN CAR IS STOPPED AND ENGINE IS OFF. ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS WON'T UNLOCK. HAD TO CLIMB OUT PASSENGER SIDE WHICH IS NOT EASY AT ALL. COULD BE A PROBLEM IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY AND ONE NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. I COULD SEE SOMEONE BEING TRAPPED IF THEY COULD NOT PHYSICALLY GET OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO EXIT.
