Consumer Description

The electronic child safety lock system that is controlled with the door panel has been consistently failing since about 6 months after i got my vehicle. It tries to the lock the doors repeatedly until the system fails and tells me "child safety lock failure" on the display. I have had it in the service department on four separate occasions where they have not been able to pinpoint the issue. They have replaced the door actuators in the rear doors as well as some of the fuses and wiring, but I have not gotten a resolution from any of the actions. It appears that there is some connection to my key fob because when I'm approaching the vehicle I can hear the locks start to engage. My concern is that once the system fails, the child safety locks are no longer engaged, which means my children can open the doors.
