| Description of the problem | When i stop my car, put it in park and shut off the engine i can not open the driver's side door using the in-door silver door latch. The door stays locked and will not open. The door will not open even when i try to unlock it using the unlock rocker switch on the driver's door arm rest. The door can only be unlocked and opened when i unlock it using the black in-door locking latch. There is an apparent electrical or software problem which can cause someone to get trapped inside the car. This needs to be corrected before someone is killed. Thank you. |
