Electric door locks quit working. There is only 2 doors that can be unlocked by the key from the outside. Getting children out from the passenger side slider requires climbing through the vehicle to reach the door lock. Also there is no way to lock the doors from the drivers seat to prevent children from accidentally opening the passenger doors without climbing through the vehicle. Pulling the iod fuse and replacing will temporarily reset the door locks.
