problem #1

Mar 232008

9-3

  • 120 miles
Unsafe to know that my new car has door locks that do not unlock from within the car cabin when the door handle is pulled. Unlike my previous car (VW) whereby the door is unlocked when the driver door (for example) is pulled - door opens or my BMW whereby the door is unlocked by pulling the handle twice. In a Saab, the doors can not be opened unless the "unlock" button is pressed. This is a safety issue since egress can not be done quickly in the event of an accident or other emergency need for immediate egress.
