DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR ELECTRIC DOOR LATCH. WHEN THE LATCH STARTS TO MAKE NOISE AND THAN FAILS, IT FAILS IN THE LOCKED POSITION. YOU ARE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. YOU ARE ALSO UNABLE TO PULL UP THE DOOR LOCK LEVER THAT INDICATS IF THE DOOR IS LOCKED. THIS MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE FOR ANYONE IN THE BACK SEATS IF THE LOCK SHOULD FAIL BECAUSE IT FAILS IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS IN AN EMERGENCY.*AK
