MY CAR WILL NOT OPEN WHICH CAUSES A HUGE CONCERN BECAUSE IF I GO OUT, THEN I HAVE TO LEAVE A DOOR UNLOCKED BECAUSE IT'S NOT GUARANTEED THAT I CAN GET INTO MY CAR AGAIN AND PEOPLE COULD POTIENTIALLY THINK THAT I AM TRYING TO BREAK INTO MY OWN CAR. WHEN I DRIVE, THE LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THIS STARTED GETTING WORSE AFTER I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND AS I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT PULLING OUT, MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I COULD NOT MOVE IT OR ANYTHING. I DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT WITH IT DYING AND THEN RESTARTING IT. IT FINALLY WORKED AND I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT DYING COMPLETELY BUT NOW MY LOCKS WON'T UNLOCK UNLESS IT'S EARLY IN THE MORNING.
