What owners wrote
The door locks are all ativated together. You can not unlock the drivers door without all four doors and the back gate being unlocked. I do not know of any car that a single door can not be unlocked without opening all the doors. I feel this is a very serious safety proble. My wife can not go to the mall and exit or enter her truck without the possiblity of someone enterning her truck using a door that she did not won,t to unlock. There will be injury and possible death involved with this factory defect.
