Description of the problem	Door will not open! This is unacceptable in an emergency situation, it is clearly a known issue on these vehicles. It will not open from the outside and if you had the child lock engaged, it will not open from the inside either. Fortunately i did not have the child lock engaged so i can still open the door from the inside, but now that i know it's a common issue i'm afraid it will happen on my other doors and i do have a child, so the child locks are sometimes used. Car was parked at the time, i closed the door and the next time the handle would not open it.
