“On september 13, 2013, while sitting in the driver's seat, I tried to unlock the front passenger seat door lock by pressing the unlock button to allow my passenger to get into the car. All car door locks opened except the right front passenger. So I pressed the button again and all the doors locked. Waited and hit the unlock button and all the doors unlocked except for the right front passenger door. I turned off the engine in the car and went around to the right front passenger door and inserted the key directly in the door lock. …”
