 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
