| Description of the problem | Takata recall - my daughter was trapped in the right rear passenger seat because the door would not unlock nor would it open from the inside or outside door handle. Thank god there was no accident or life threating event going on or we would have had to break the glass out. It's been a week and the door still won't unlock or open. I was told the door actuator is faulty and needs replacing but to do the repair the outside door handle has to be broken off. This is ridiculous and unfair and very unsafe. |
