| Description of the problem | Drivers back side door locks and will not reopen. This is a safety hazard when you have children. I have children that go in the back seat and only one working back door if there was an accident or emergency i cannot get to my kids in time. My lobster work in one day and the next day when i went out to open the door it would no longer open. The children's safety system was engaged on the door so that my son cannot open it from the inside. From what i've read this is a common issue. Please recall and fix this issue for us. |
