The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 89,000. Updated 09/21/11 the consumer stated when he went to use the remote key to unlock the rear hatch back door, it would not unlock. The door does not have a key lock, so he was unable to unlock the door with the key. There is no way to get in or out of the rear hatch back door, when the electric lock is not working.
