NHTSA complaint #10212862, filed 2007-12, 98,000 miles“Just recently my passenger side door locks are not working correctly. You can not unlock them unless the driver goes inside first.

When trying to exit the car, the driver must hit the lock mechanism on the driver side to unlock the passenger side. I have to do this for both passenger side doors. This is a concern due to the fact if something happens and the passenger cannot get out then it could lead to serious problems. …”
