| Description of the problem | The electric locking system fails in both the locked and unlocked position due to a software glitch that costs over $200 to "diagnose" and repair. I am often unable to get my kids out of the van without crawling into the back seat to manually unlock the doors, which is difficult since they are meant to be controlled electronically. |
