Description of the problem	The door locks will not lock properly, all they do is click trying to lock as i drive - from time to time, if they do lock - i can't unlock the driver side door from inside the car, and have to crawl out the passenger side. This is a major safety concern in the event i need to exit the car in an emergency. I had the same issue on a 2009 jetta - and i if you look on the internet - there are many others with the same issue. I feel it's a design flaw from vw - and it's quite obvious it's been going on for quite some time now - and i'm sure vw knows about it, but has failed to fix the issue. I feel the only way vw will fix the issue is if the ntsb forces them to do a recall - please help us ? Also, i'm not able to lock the doors manually either inside or outside the car. Thank you,

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
