Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR THROUGH A AUTOMATIC CAR WASH AND AFTER LEAVING THE CAR WASH..MY DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I HAD TO CRAWL OUT THROUGH THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE TO GET OUT. THE CAR WOULD NOT UNLOCK UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I WENT THROUGH THE CAR WASH AT 4PM AND AT 630AM THE NEXT DAY, IT FINALLY UNLOCKED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTERS 2018 EQUINOX AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. WHAT IF HER OR I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT....
