“Driver side door locks do not work with car remote. Battery was changed in remotes and still does not work. Key to override door locks does not work. After hitting the open lock button on key remote for 5 min non stop it finally opened all doors. Extreme safety hazard. I refuse to lock car anymore until I can get to dealer to repair the locks and remote lock sensors.”
