THE FIRST PROBLEM UNCOVERED: THE DRIVER'S DOOR CANNOT BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED WITH A KEY. MY DAUGHTER DROVE THE CAR TO A CONCERT USING THE VALET KEY AND DISCOVERED AT MIDNIGHT THAT SHE COULDN'T ENTER THE CAR. AFTER FAMILY ARRIVED WITH ELECTRONIC KEY IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WOULD NOT MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR EITHER. FOLLOWING THAT INCIDENT WE NOTICED THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL RANDOMLY RE-LOCK ITSELF AFTER THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THE DOOR HAS INITIALLY UNLOCKED. THE LOCKING SYSTEM SOMETIMES MAKES A "WHIRRING" WHEN ENGAGED. THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT: THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR AND THE HATCH REFUSED TO UNLOCK USING EITHER THE ELECTRONIC KEY OR THE DRIVER DOOR CONTROLS. ALSO, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR COULDN'T BE OPENED MANUALLY USING THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR ITSELF- IT WOULDN'T BUDGE! THE NEXT DAY, THE PROBLEM FIXED ITSELF... AT LEAST FOR NOW. *TR
