Driver side sliding door is stuck in lock position and will not open. Opened fine and after a 20 minute car ride it was then stuck. I have reviewed several forums regarding this similar problem, and have seen countless reports on the name issue. Should there be an emergency of any sorts, the passengers in the back would not be able to get out safely.
