| Description of the problem | This car i purchased has manual door locks. My wife has great difficulty unlocking the rear doors and for my mother in law it is impossible. The car was ordered so i was unaware of this problem. I believe the young, elderly, and those physically impaired would find it impossible to unlock the rear doors. Personnel at the dealership agree with my assessment and i have taken it back three times and was told they could not fix it. My last visit was today and spoke to the field service manager and he said nothing could be done. I sincerely believe that not being able to open the back door is an accident waiting to happen.
