 Description of the problemI was at the store when the car locks jammed. The only way to get into the car was by manually using the key. The key fob would not unlock the door. The real issue was that the only door that could be opened was the drivers side using the manual key. All the others were jammed shut. There would be no way for those doors to be opened in case of an emergency. This is a very common problem with this make. Its attributed to a faulty design. See threads and youtube video. Http://www.

V=3v04l-isycs the consequences are that if there is an accident, there is no way to get to passengers, also, fire situations would be deadly, submerging in water could also prove to be a disastrous. The only repair is replacement with the same actuator, but the problem is only a temporary fix. Over time it will reoccur. It is a design flaw.
