Incident: April 12, 2019 · Filed: April 15, 2019

THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DONOR'S LOCK WAS STUCK. THE DOOR WOULDN'T OFTEN WITH THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY UNLOCKING. I PRESSED THE FOB SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. I TRIED MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE DOOR AGAIN AND IT FINALLY UNLOCKED. MY TWO AND THREE YEAR WERE IN THE CAR AND I COULDN'T GET THEM UNBUCKLED FROM THEIR CAR SEATS. ANNOYING AS WELL AS UNSAFE. THE DOOR NOW MAKES A BUZZING/ RATTLING NOISE WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THE LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK.
