| Description of the problem | Door locks go haywire opening and closing while you are driving or when the car is turned off. Had to break the lock on the driver side in order to exit the vehicle. Now i have to roll the window down and stick my arm out of it, open the latch and roll the window back up in order to order to exit the car. Passenger side is permanently locked also. You can't even use a key to open it. This is a safety hazard! |
