“My daughter was sitting in the back seat of the car and when we stopped to get out her door would not open. I thought maybe the child safety lock was locked so I went on the internet to find a reason for the door not able to open from the inside but would open from the outside. While researching what the problem is I have noticed many other people having the very same problem I am having. The safety problem in this is if I were to get in a accident and my daughter needed to get out of the car from that side she would not be able to. The problem appears to be a piece of plastic breaks leaving the handle from the inside in-op. *tr”Owner report · Latches/Locks/Linkages · Mar 2014
