Intermittent the doors will not unlock using the usual method of pulling on the door handle. They only way to open the door when locked inside is from the center console unlock button. If the battery were to be low, I would be trapped in the car. I've had passengers who felt trapped because they could not open the doors.

The driver door cannot be unlocked from the inside of the vehicle. Pulling the door handle does not unlock/open the door. The proposed solution by the dealership to lower the window and use the mechanical key to open the door, is not acceptable in the case that one has to exit the car in an emergency (e.g. flooding, or fire). This problem started to happen once every month, then once a week, then eventually almost daily. The car was fixed by the dealership with the cost been paid by the owner (a cable had to be replaced)
