| Description of the problem | Failure of door locking mechanism was first noticed when fuel filler door would not open; remote key recycled several times and fuel-filler door opened. Next time, several months later, the right passenger door would not open by passenger. Again, remote key recycled several times and door opened. Yesterday, when trying to unlock the trunk lid the door-lock/unlock mechanism failed and trunk lid and right front passenger door were both impossible to open. After many attempts using both the remote keypad and using the manual key method the doors were finally unlocked. To test the system , the doors were locked using the manual key and both the trunk lid and the right front passenger doors remained unlocked. The system is unreliable for security purposes and potentially life-threatening in case the passengers needed to egress the vehicle quickly in case of being stalled on railroad tracks, fire or in a water submersion situation. |
