| Description of the problem | I have been experiencing random electrical issues intermittently for a few weeks, but today, it was noticed that my power locks are not able to be engaged or disengaged via either my key fob or manual by the button on the side of the driver's or passenger's door. They also do not engage once the vehicle reaches the appropriate speed. The only way to lock or unlock the vehicle at this time, is via the key in the door, and manually pushing down/pulling up the locks themselves. As a mom of three children under the age of 10, having them riding in the back of the vehicle and not knowing for sure that their doors are locked, causes distress in regard to their safety. I need to know that i can lock my vehicle quickly behind my children, if necessary, and know that if they happen to pull on the handle on the sliding doors, that i can rest assured that the doors will not open in response to this as i'm driving down the highway. |
