| Description of the problem | The door locks have failed repeatedly, and cannot be operated with either the remote key or with the power switchs inside the car. The temporary fix is to open the engine compartment to remove and reinsert the iod fuse. The permanent fix is to pay the dealer a lot of money to update the bcm software for the vehicle. This is not just an inconvenience, but also a safety issue due to theft vulnerability and passenger personal safety compromise. |
