| Description of the problem | The car doors lock randomly while driving, while parked, even in park with the car running--i got locked out with the car running for over 2 hours a couple of months ago. I have learned to have a window open if i exit the car while it is running or to make sure the keys are in my hands any time i exit the car. They also lock and unlock repeatedly when i am trying to unlock the doors to enter the vehicle. With so many people experiencing the same problems with this car, why is this not being addressed? |
