On approximately 10/06.2014 the driver side door handle on my 2010 mercedes benz c 300 4 matic failed to allow the door to be opened from the inside of the car. On 02/14/2015 the passenger side door handle failed to allow the door to be opened from the inside of the car. In the event of an accident such as fire or submerged in water neither the driver nor the passenger would be able to escape the vehicle. I have been driving over 50 years and have owned 50+ vehicles.
