problem #3

Optima

  • 65,000 miles
Our vehicle started only unlocking the 3 passenger side doors, when using the keyfob to unlock. The drivers door will stay locked and you have to manually unlock vehicle with key. Now 2 of our other doors(both rear) dont unlock. All the doors do not lock with the keyfob and when we push the lock button inside the vehicle. We have to manually lock/unlock the doors, which is a pain in the butt when you have small children!

My rear passenger door lock stopped working. The door will not unlock. I called the dealership while I was still under warranty but they could not get me in for an appointment in a timely manner and now my warranty has expired and the dealership is telling me it costs over $200 to fix the problem. I consider this to be a safety issue. If I were ever in an accident the person sitting in this seat would have a hard time getting out of the car.
