Doors have trouble closing and staying closed until they dont close at all. All four doors on my car have this problem. It is currently in the shop getting a new door mechanism so the door on the driver's side will close. Other three will have to be repaired and replaced. Doors open when you are going down the road and stay open. Could be potential for accidents.

No accidents have occurred to this vehicle. Door locks do not reliably open the doors, either manually or via the electric lock button. This creates an unsafe situation whereby a person may become trapped inside the car. This has occurred on multiple occasions where the driver had to crawl into the back to exit out via the rear passenger doors. Problem diagnosed by dealer as electronic door lock mechanism. This is unacceptable to allow a failure in this manner. A recall should exist.

Locks are too close together, and slightest touch of locks will lock door. Consumer has been locked out of vehicle twice because of this poor design. Please provide any further information.
