Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle locks the door automatically with no reason. This can happen even when the vehicle's engine is running. Also, if unlocking the vehicle by the remote keyless entry, the driver door will open. Upon pressing the unlock botton again to unlock all doors, all door will unlock and immediately all, including the driver's door will lock. Twice I had my car locked up on me while running in my garage. I am a proud father of a new infant. While trying to put the baby in the vehicle, what can I do if the doors lock on their own again? It will be a danger to my child's safety. …”
NHTSA complaint #749625, filed 2001-08“Vehicle locks automatically, without warning. The van has locked automatically both when the ignition was on, and when it was off. Also, when using the key to manually open the doors, it is difficult to get the doors open on the first try. This is on on-going problem. This is a dangerous condition, especially when one considers that the sale of minivans are primarily targeted to drivers with children.”
NHTSA complaint #10058482, filed 2004-02“The remote keyless entry system fails to keep the car locked or unlocked, the consumer must not use the key to unlock the door because it will disable the remote keyless entry system,the locks lock and inlock randomly while driving or parked.”
