| Description of the problem | The electronic key system of this car has a big flaw. The doors do not lock even after multiple activation through the lock button of the electronic key when the engine is left running . The behavior is unlike other cars such as nissan altima, which locks the door. S. This behavior makes it much more likely for someone to inadvertently walk away from the car with engine running leaving the doors unlocked. |
