Owner report 10075110 · 2004-06-09 (June 9, 2004)
A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM BEING OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. I FEEL THAT THIS MAY PREVENT THE OCCUPANT FROM BEING ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO HAND MY KEY TO SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ASK THEM TO UNLOCK MY DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE SO I COULD EXIT THE VEHICLE. *AK
