Consumer Description

On at least 7 occasions the driver was TRAPPED inside the vehicle. The car failed to start and the doors and windows locked. If the driver had not had a cell phone to make an emergency call he would have been locked inside until someone discovered the problem. Had this happened in Phoenix, AZ in the summer, there is a very good chance the driver would have been dead before he was rescued. The last time was December 11, 2025. We replaced the starter battery for 2nd time in 2 years and 40K miles.
