DRIVER'S SIDE BACK DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM WILL BECOME STUCK, AND DOOR WILL REMAIN LOCKED DESPITE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK IT WITH THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY. FIRST NOTICED WHEN THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AFTER BEING PUT IN PARK AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. OTHER DOORS UNAFFECTED, AND REAR PASSENGERS WERE ABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE VIA PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR. ONLY SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE REMOVING THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELING TO ACCESS THE LOCKING MECHANISM. THIS WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (VARIES) BUT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.
