| Description of the problem | I have had several issues with the doors. It started with my front drivers door and now it is the back passenger door. You cannot open the door from the outside and you have to take the door apart to fix it. However, i can't open my back door at all because my child safety lock is on, so i cannot open it from the inside like i do with my drivers door. I am unable to get my kids in or out of the car, without having to put them all in through one door and over car seats. I am not the only one who has had this problem. Several people have. Here is the link to the complaints http://www. Cargurus. Com/cars/discussion-t37046_ds615605. If there was ever and emergency i would not be able to get my children out in a timely manner. |
