Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I went to the parking garage after work, and had difficult getting into my vehicle. The remote did not work. When I put the key in the lock, it would turn but not unlock the door. After about 15 minutes, I finally got into my car. I picked my sister up and went to the restaurant. I was unable to get out of the car. I tried the remote, the inside release and pulling on the lock. I finally got it to release. Then I had problems closing the door. We got it shut but when we came back from the restaurant it was open. …”
NHTSA complaint #10502252, filed 2013-03, 90,000 miles“Automatic door locks work sporadically on all doors.

A related problem with the front and rear driver side door where the door will not open from inside or outside. Replaced the cable in the front driver side that was corroded, now experiencing the same problem with the rear driver side. I don't want to spend $200 to replace another cable. If I pound the inside of the door just right and in the right spot, I can get it to open. …”

He then drove about 100 feet and attempted to exit the vehicle and noticed that the both front driver and passenger side doors remained locked. The contact was forced to exit the vehicle by climbing into the back seat and exiting from the rear passenger door. Both the dealer and manufacturer were unable to duplicate the failure. …”
