| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Every time the right front passenger door is unlocked either by the switch or manually, it immediately re-locks itself making it almost impossible to open the door. To open the door, you must know to be holding on the handle and pull it in the split second after you activate the un-lock button. This could be extremely dangerous in a situation where the passenger had to get out of the car immediately as in case of a fire, submerging in water or after a wreck. I am frightened to think what would happen in one of these cases and a child or unsuspecting adult were in the vehicle and could not get out. Of course, there are many other scenarios where the passenger would have to get out in a hurry and this defective locking mechanism would prevent their escape. |
