| Description of the problem | The car locks fail to lock or unlock, one time locking me inside my car. The manual locks also stop working so using a key or opening from the inside with the handle is impossible. I had the problem repaired the first time in december and they replaced the locking mechanisms for the front driver door and gas cap door. In january, my locks failed again. This time forcing me to crawl in and out my front passenger's side door to gain access to my car. The dealer this time replaced the door lock fuse. This is a safety hazard if there were to be an accident, i would be stuck in my car. |
