| Both door handles are inoperative from the inside. dealer per phone call diagnosed common problem as the ballard cable disconnecting from the latch. after removing the door panel it was found to be intact. problem is yet to be diagnosed. it is my assumption that there is a problem with the security system since the doors do not unlock when the ignition is turned off and the doors do not appear to try and lock when the vehicle reaches the set speed of 15 mph. this is a defect of grave concern since the occupants of the vehicle cannot immediately exit the vehicle in the event of a crash or fire and would be totally unable to exit in the event of an electrical failure. *tr | |||
