| Latches/locks/linkage problems |
I am experiencing a potential safety problem. On an irregular basis, the driver's side door will not unlock from inside the car. This makes it impossible to exit the car without unlocking the passenger side door, using the power-lock remote (fob), or reaching outside to unlock the door with the key. In an accident situation, the driver could be trapped in the car.
A defective door lock caused driver to be trapped in the vehicle.
