“Driver's door would not open from either outside or inside after multiple tries of locking and unlocking. Dealer thinks it's the actuater.it happened a few times when I tried to get out of the car forcing me to crawl thru the passenger side. Being 85 yrs. Old this was no easy thing to do !!! If there was an accident damaging the passenger side iwould be trapped.I consider this a safety concern.”
