| Door Latch problems |
The alarm in my 2002 Audi allroad went off while I was backing out of a parking space and I could not get out of the car. When I would try to open the door with the electronic key, they would instantly re-lock and the door would not open by pulling up on the handle. Essentially I was trapped inside for approximately five minutes. It finally quit and when I got it in for service, the dealer said that moisture had gotten into the locking mechanism and it needed to be replaced. My point is in the unlikely event that I had to exit the car for my own safety, and I couldn't get out of the car, it could be a very serious safety problem.
