“Door does not unlock with unlock switch when door is locked manually. If you lock the door manually -- by resting your elbow on the locking button -- the unlock switch does not unlock the door. The unlock switch makes a noise like it is trying to unlock the door but it does not actually unlock it. The dealer verified that this occurs on other models of this same car.”
