Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driver's side door will not open - opens fine from the inside but not the outside. Door latch is not broken - just stopped opening the door. Apparently this is not an isolated event - many folks having the same safety issue. Some owner's with multiple doors having this issue although it seems the driver side is the most common. I would take a photo but again, the lock looks fine and is not broken. Just stopped working last week. Went to class at irsc and the door worked fine. Came out to go home and it would not open the door. No one tried to break in - again, the latch looks fine, not damaged just quit opening the door. There is only one other door with a key entry so if it stops opening the door i will not be able to get in the vehicle and will be stuck in the parking lot, at night. What if it starts not opening from the inside and i cannot get out of the vehicle without busting a window? Seriously, this is a safety issue that is not isolated - pages of complaints. Please help a college gal out.
