| Description of the problem | I went on a trip with 5 people. My grand caravan has 4 bucket style seats, 2 in front 2 in the middle. In the rear of my vehicle which has the stow and go seating option there are two seats. One is for 1 person the other for 2 people. I opened the seat for two, even though there was only one sitting in the rear. I closed the rear door after my friend was seated. When we got to our destination the 4 front people in front got out. We then discovered the person in the rear had no way to open the rear door from the inside. Sure i the driver had a button on the front console and another one on my key fob, to release the rear lift door, but the person in the rear was trapped as she had no way to open the door from the inside. That is both a inconvenience issue and a safety issue. But there should be a button with a child lock to prevent kids sitting in the rear from opening the door themselves or to allow an adult to open the lift door themselves |
