door locks

[acrbill]

If you read my post carefully you would see exactly what I meant.

In the car
door is locked
pull the door handle
door does not open

Unlock door
pull the door handle
door opens


Any car I have ever driven would open the door no matter what. When you pulled the handle the lock would open and the door would open.

What if your in a car accident and you are disoriented. It would make it that much more difficult to get out.


When I install my power locks I will figure a way to fix it so the lock pops open when you pull the handle.

Bring it back to the dealer, the door should be unlock (No matter lock or unlock before) once you pull the handle.

We checked it out on a drive to the mall. We do not have this FEATURE.

Almost lost the wife when she tried (and did) open the locked door by pulling on the door handle on the way out of the driveway!

LOL now I dont know what to think.

Please, everyone with a HB try and open the door from the inside when the door is locked.

i apologize if my comment was sounded rude. that is very far from my original intent. it's just that my family has only owned japanese cars (tercel, sentra, civic, altima, rx300, rav4, prius, galant, cordia, eclipse, sienna) except for 1 mustang and have never seen this feature (even on the domestic). we thought a door lock was a door lock. child locks are different because the doors are locked no matter the situation (locked or unlocked). i guess it just depends on the manufacturers...kinda like home door locks. some unlock automatically when you turn the knob, while others need to be unlocked no matter what.
